On the other hand engineers, accountants and any other like profession and occupation, hold more minimalistic values and espouse that greater efficiencies are the key to business success.
I suspect at times they even get them selves into an exhilarating state of financial bondage with the profound realisation that "the less money we spend and need, the more money that stays in our pockets, and it will last longer because we need less at the same time".

Why? Because doing so has delivered not only me but also many others I've helped make great savings but also maintain a very comfortable quality of life on the journey to achieving financial independence. Most importantly minimizing experiences of financial worry along the way.
