Understood, that's what I was trying to address with the option of prepending the words fiscally/financially. Added myopic as an alternative, where the Google/OxfordLanguages definition includes a financial example

| Dec 8, 2022 at 13:00 | comment | added | klutt | Short sighted is part of it, but not the whole story. For instance, drug addicts seems like persons who are typically short sighted. Or someone who prioritize going to the pub instead of paying for insurance. What I'm talking about is actively trying to save money with decisions that are more expensive in the long run. | |
