Exactly. Being frugal is can be great, but I think it's important to remember that it can sometimes cost more to be frugal. For example, walking for his trip to Michigan—if he had spent $100 on a bus, he could've shortened his trip by hours, during which he could've made money by working. I'm not saying it was a bad choice—maybe he wasn't going to be working during that time anyway. But there's always an opportunity cost, and it isn't all about getting the lowest price tag. It's better to aim for efficiency rather than frugality.
