Starving wasn't what was being suggested.  

There's ample latitude below clinical obesity levels to 
offer happiness without privations.

& typically, lifecycle costs are lower when there's fewer 
intermediaries taking a cut for profit, which means to 
cut out the middleman of a landlord and owning directly 
to generally be more frugal in the long run.

In any event, the question isn't spending per se, but rather 
just what ones' specific priorities are.  One measure of success 
could be to not only have enough for today to do what one wants, 
but to also be putting away an acceptable amount for ones' plans 
for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.  Unfortunately, far too 
many people today...
