Frugality is simply an attitude
I am firmly convinced that you can live frugally and also abundantly with the right attitude. Perspective is everything. As doctor Phil always says, “There is no reality, only perception.” Is you perceive yourself to be poor, then poor you will surely be. Money, though of course we need it to survive, definitely does not buy happiness. We have too much proof of this by the examples set by the celebrities we so adore as a society. How many of them are truly happy?
With the right attitude, one of gratitude, acceptance, and not caring about the judgments of others, you can live a full, happy and abundant life and still be a frugal person. By no means are the two exclusive.
