Ikea's founder, the late billionaire Ingvar Kamprad, was incredibly frugal. He disciplines his employees for not using both sides of the paper. He was once turned away from ‘Businessman Of The Year Award’ for arriving by bus. He also assembled all his furniture by himself.

While not wasting the resources is a good habit, I believe that wealth should bring comfort and peace of mind to spend the limited time we have on more valuable causes. If being frugal is towards wasting the valuable time, it will be detrimental. What do you think?
