CMV: Bernie Sanders' "frugal" lifestyle is not frugal at all.

I know that Sanders was "frugal" during his early days and wasn't a self-made millionaire until *coughs* he was elected mayor of Burlington, but I feel like calling him frugal is a lie. Frugal is a person who has a "one pot meal" and scraps through leftovers. Frugal is buying seeds and growing your own vegetables. Frugal is living in your parents basement. Frugal is not owning a Tesla and 2 other houses. He literally bought a *dacha* in Vermont. I felt like this is an obviously wrong viewpoint but that's why I'm here.<br><br>​<br><br>EDIT: Apparently, I'm being downvoted for calling out that Sanders is just not a cheapskate. I felt like this needed to be called out.
