Ask HN: What's Wrong with Penny Pinching?
I just read this: &#x27;The Rich Don&#x27;t Penny Pinch&#x27;, by Sean McClure[0]<p>My take from it is that: life is so complex, that short term tasks to improve the future are fruitless long term since life is so complex and the future is opaque, so you&#x27;re going to be fighting entropy anyway, so why bother doing &#x27;penny pinching&#x27;?<p>I&#x27;m not sure I buy his philosophy though? I still use coupons, and my grocery shop is always a strict budget and I make use of special offers, as well as living frugally with all that that entails.<p>So: do you agree with Sean? Should we NOT penny pinch?<p>[0] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;seanmcclure.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;the-rich-dont-penny-pinch
