Today, it occurred to me that there is a very fine line between being frugal and being cheap. I was peripherally involved in a topic that evolved into someone crossing that line. Today's example was boring. A funnier example happened last week when I was on a boat. A co-traveller with our group stepped on a spiny sea creature. I think an urchin of sorts. This urchin was understandably pissed for being squashed and left some spiny presents in our friend's toe.
Luckily, our ship had an emergency medical person/hospital/pharmacy and in other countries an emergency situation is cheaper than here. Our friend's toe visited this hospital and saw that for 100 Euros, she could lose the spines. While she was waiting for her turn, she saw further down the list of choices that it only cost 80 Euros to amputate a toe. She thought about how important saving 20 Euros was to her. She decided to splurge.
