"Saving money" in terms of "collecting money to save for later" versus "saving money" in terms of "getting something for free/reduced cost" are separate concepts.

@BryanKrause In terms of "not spending 15$ on a dvd movie" but rather pirating the movie for free. thats what i'm trying to understand how are the concepts different.
my example clearly applies to your second example, but might as well apply to the your first example. as the pirate would deliberately not spend the money so he can use it for other things later.
