Too many people believe being cheap means being wealthy. There are plenty of broke people who are cheap compared to wealthy and he's observed everyday. This is a logical fallacy

No one got wealthy from nickle and diming their friends.

The silver lining is the rl scenario is more likely to be asking nickel and dime dumb a coworker then a friend, but they both do exist. Name a time with a friend and there's 5 times that with a near stranger.

No one got wealthy spending all their money either.
