If you are a member of any forum, you will know what I'm talking about...those little "points" that accrue each time you post (example is www.savingadvice.com). They don't monetary value, they can't be traded at this point.
But, you can cash them in to upgrade the appearance of your name, add color or flashes or, well, I don't know what...because when I went to add color, it told me how many points it would cost, and I said, oh, no, that's WAY too many points...
Since they have no specific value, I don't know what I'm "saving" them for, or why I don't want to see the numbers decline without good reason.
I CAN absolutely tell you that I feel the same about my savings, checking, any account. That's a huge part of the saving and "wealth" mindset being described in so many current books. I'm not a hoarder, I don't collect much of anything, but NUMBERS, oh, numbers, may they never decrease!
I don't think it's so much about frugalness as it is being raised to conserve, and not waste.
Still, they are JUST POINTS.
