IMHO, Frugality comes from being happy with what you have. It's not wasting your money, its buying good quality stuff that lasts a long time. If you are frugal and have a good job you will have more money than you spend. With savings, you have no money worries and can buy stuff whenever you need. Frugality makes you rich.
IMHO Being poor is working like a dog to pay off the loan on your new Mercedes, the credit card debt from buying bling. It's worrying about money while your spoiled children demand moar.
So the people who look rich are often poor, while some people who appear poor are actually rich. I retired from work aged 53 :)
