"Waste not, want not" doesn't imply that the person who doesn't waste will not be poor, it suggests (optimistically, I grant) that they won't lack the basics they need. I personally think this saying could stand getting a lot more mileage than it does today. Wasted resources--even little things like bread heels--are resources you don't have when you've got a real use for them.
