Is being "fiscally conservative" just a nice way of saying "I'm broke"?

[Anonymous]

I feel like it's just a nice way of saying "I'm going out but I'm going to be fiscally conservative, because I'm broke"

[Guy13]

I think that assertion is age dependent. Societal or socially, it is more a way to say I am cheap, stop stealing my money as I know what to do with it better than Government and Special Interest, and amongst some like-minded "I am not hurting as bad as I thought with Biden in office."

It's a term for being financially safe

So you don't take monitary risks or waste much money

[SaoirseS]

It can mean several things.
A fiscally conservative investor tends to make safer investments and take very little, if any, investment risk.
Usually someone who is referred to as fiscally conservative means they are frugal, they save, and avoid debt.

No it's a way of saying you are careful with money
