Then do it! Believe in yourself!

OK, it was a good joke, but signing up new accounts for one joke works on reddit, not here.

Sorry, this is my normal username I sign up with and I didn't create a throwaway account. I just rarely comment.

My username on reddit is the same also. 2+ Years or so and no comments.

I disliked the article itself too, but find that the nice discussion it caused balances it out.

I think a lot of people read its title and dismissed the article out-right because they didn't want to be called a loser because they considered themselves "frugal." The author of the article actually describes real frugalness, by getting what you pay for instead of just buying the cheapest thing possible.
