TL;DR: be a cheapo and then bam! buy sth expensive.

It's all about what you care more: the nice pleasures in life, or the big stuff you are waiting for. Personally, i don't think his approach differs much from someone who is a spender, it's a matter of what gives you more pleasure in life. For someone who cares about the nice add-ons like driving a car which is expensive to mantain, but gives you the joy, it's the same clever/stupid thing as saving for a camera. You could say buying one expensive product per year and living lower standard every day is irrational. YMMV, and that's it.

Oh, and if someone feels offended that this dude calls other stupid - he's quite known in photog online community for such statements.

Besides that, some points can be useful for someone who isn't a spender by choice, but because he cannot manage their daily spendings.
