This girl on the other hand believes in "quantity over quality". If it's up to her she would stay in hostels every night and survive on bread and water alone so she can use the money saved on more bare-boned trips.

Eventually we decided this is not going to work, our views on finance are just too different.

This is a bit OT, but perhaps this wasn't a matter of "quantity over quality" so much as two competing (and incompatible) definitions of "quality".
