The bit of frugality, at least when it comes to some of what Walker is buying, comes from his upbringing in The Bronx. Avoiding wasteful spending has been programmed into him. “Yeah, I just can’t. I just can’t,” he said. Sure, there’s a piece here and there that is just too good to resist, but reality prevents him from paying full price. “If I spend $5,000 on a jacket, I’m probably only going to wear it once that year. So I don’t buy it. Or I’ll just wait until it goes on sale. Which it will at some point.”
