I posted a reply to today's reprise WCI post of PoF's blog on frugality. It is awaiting moderation, perhaps because of the incendiary content. 
A Cliff notes version is included herein...
I do not embrace frugality, it makes me feel like I am left wanting. Being unfrugal is also undesirable as it sounds like spendthrift, which is clearly undesirable. Therefore, I coined (or discovered) the term, "selectively extravagant" as an apt description of my own spending philosophy.
Briefly, no pun intended, I save on the unimportant things, largely avoiding luxury items, but do not hesitate to spend up for great life experiences and to purchase comfortable socks and underwear.
The End.
