    Neelix is thrifty because their means are limited and he’s doing the best with what he’s got.

    Quark is thrifty because he’s a fucking miser.

      And now solely because you used the word miser, I’m imagining a Ferengi version of A Christmas Carol where the spirits are haunting Quark for not making enough profit.

          Yes! Especially if one of them is Brunt.

          Also just realized in this scenario that Nog has to be Tiny Tim.

        I would actually love to see this. A Capitalist Christmas Carol.

        “This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Exploit them both, and all of their degree, but most of all exploit this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Profit, as long as any kindness or mercy be erased.”
