Some people get a quick out of playing the money game. They are not playing the game to earn money so they can spend, they are playing the game because it is what they like doing. An example of this is Warren Buffet. So when they seem cheap, it's just an example of them playing their favorite game. They will sacrifice "luxuries" to play the game because to them, the game is their primary luxury. Some people collect baseball cards and some people collect stocks. Some people fine tune cars and some people fine tune businesses.
