Imagine you have more money that you will ever spend in your entire life. You've bought everything you want, go anywhere you want, etc. and still have billions left over.
Is this really any different from having a $1M in the bank, being perfectly happy, and not spending any of it? In both cases you have more than you need and you're happy.
For many people saving and living frugally isn't a means to an end, it is the end. It's how they like to live their life, and being able to do so while keeping the bills paid makes them blissfully happy. That there may be millions of unused $$$ in the bank is irrelevant to them.
