Managing finance is an art. Most people either value the value of a dollar too much or too little. And it is important to balance to pain of saving now with the joy of spending in the future.

If you think he is frugal now wait till he retires. It pretty common people cheap right out after they retire and realize that the money they saved will have to last the rest of their lives.
