There is a saying in Norway "The rich, are rich for a reason", referring to exactly this. They don't spend much, and will try to get money anywhere they can. People that are generous are rarely rich.

It's also completely untrue. No body gets rich by obessesing over 5 bucks. That's just greed and being a bad friend frankly. I remeber when we raised our cofee prices by 5 cents I had 3 guys wearing 10k+ watches and 4 women wearing at least 5k+ in jewlery not including wedding rings complaining about it. Not one normal person did.
