The propensity to forget about the end goal one wants to achieve, and to pursue instead the means or mediums to that end goal.
A medium—for example, points or money—is a token people receive as the immediate reward of their effort. It has no value in and of itself, but it can be traded for a desired outcome. Experiments demonstrate that, when people are faced with options entailing different outcomes, the presence of a medium can alter what option they choose. This effect occurs because the medium presents an illusion of advantage to an otherwise not so advantageous option, an illusion of certainty to an otherwise uncertain option, or an illusion of linearity to an otherwise concave
effort-outcome return relationship. This work has implications for how points influence consumer choice and how money influences human behavior.

Money by itself is worthless because it is just paper and metal - medium maximization is the reason you want it.

Maxim Stolze ist ne kleine rich bitch, die mit ihrem tommy Hilfiger Pulli flext. Sie ist stolz. So dumm wie sie scheint ist se gar nicht aber sie macht immer dumme mistakes auf tests und kriegt daher nur Cs. Trotzdem verliert sie nie ihren stolz. The stolze will never be defeated.

Someone who has traits of a Maximizer (A maximizer is an individual who consistently seeks the optimal outcome for any endeavor or purchase.) and a Frugalist. (Frugal emphasizes being saving, sometimes excessively saving, especially in such matters as food or dress, bills.: Doesn't purchase unnecessary things. Thrifty)
Maximizing-Frugalist may have unnecessary purchases, but will not let the money on the item go to waste;
Buying a guitar and insisting to learn daily.
Using batteries until they no longer turn on any device.
Using a single use .50c shaver until you no longer can.
Minimizing bills; going without extra channels on TV.
Choosing a minimal phone plan, gas for the remainder of the week, making half of a frozen pizza.

As a maximizing-frugalist, I am careful with my money and make sure i get my monies worth from all that i can.

Hym "I believe trans people have a right to make a maximally informed decision regarding transitioning. So if they haven't been adequately informed of risks (such as dumping estrogen into someone that was assigned male at birth can increase the risk of prostate cancer and/or any other SEX exclusive health problems regardless of GENDER), their doctor and the people promoting trans rights are doing them a disservice. There is a difference between defending trans rights and curating information to trick people into being nicer to trannies."
