This is kinda cute. Guess most of us would be classified as "so frugal" because many of us purchased expired meat and wear secondhand clothes.

A retired public school teacher who was so frugal that he bought expired meat and secondhand clothing left $2.1 million for his alma mater, Prairie View A&M — the school's largest gift from a single donor.
He was wise beyond his years.. No one ever would have "thunk" it. All that time he knew exactly what he was doing.

Hmmmm, I don't know if I would call him frugal or cheap. He was so tight with his money that he refused to speak to a brother or nephew because the brother said that he owed him $7.67 or something like that (this is what the cnn article said) and the teacher refused to pay him. Is there a difference between a miser and a frugal person? Or, should we put our frugality above our family relations?
