Scarcity and abundance are neutral ways we relate to money, not moral judgments. Reframe scarcity as responsible stewardship of what you've built, not a flaw. The mindset can protect you from frivolous spending, though it may also impose limits worth recognizing.
Scarcity is not inherently bad. Abundance is not inherently good. They just describe a way that we relate to money. One thing I help people do is reframe scarcity. Instead of being bad, it's just like, hey, I'm a good steward of my wealth. I'm a protector of the wealth that I've created, and I don't want to be frivolous with it. That's perfectly okay as long as we're aware where that might show up as a limitation.
