I read this book in high school, and it actually helped me learn that sometimes it's ok to spend money instead of doing everything the hard way. My family was insanely frugal (hence why this book was on our shelf) and it gave me a whole complex around spending money. Like as a teenager in 2012 I was making shirts out of pillowcases from goodwill kind of a complex.
Equating money with time helped me actually break through the guilt I felt and allow myself to spend.

Reply to LPT: A good financial habit to get into is treating money as hours of work. Ask yourself how many hours of work something would take if you buy it. The awareness of the amount of time you put into purchases helps reduce compulsive spending. by humvee911
