And I agree with you. If there is something that you want and you have the money, don't feel guilty. Money has many purposes, but one of the key purposes is to allow you to do the things that you want to do. If that means buy an expensive toy... buy that expensive toy. Life is short.

being frugal would be instead of buying a 55" TV you would buy a 15" TV because it does the "same" task.
my mom for example is frugal.
you could give her a billion dollars and she would buy a used car. no new clothes. no jewelry no, nada. she would go out to dinner and order the half plate. if she was having company over she would buy the cheapest bottle of wine. that is frugal. and i love her for it.
