People who have this mentality. and don't want to spend money because they want to accumulate wealth.

They can end up with a lot of wealth. and an inability to spend it. because they're so anxious about about wanting to live frugal and wanting and wanting to save, even when they've surpassed any amount of wealth they could ever need. They still can't spend it. Because they've had this mentality.
