You do not spend because you desire to and are in full control over yourself. Thrift is separate from miserliness. Misers are stingy on everything and are unhappy. They think that that by restricting expenditure they will always keep their money. Misers have their money but they are unhappy.

To give is to receive. But thrift means being wise.
