I own a house, car, etc and I still make sure that I get every last drop of shampoo out of the bottle. Not saying that is how you save enough for down payment but just that they aren't mutually exclusive.

The only thing that it indicates is that you're not wasteful.

But i'm thinking if you cry about it, the meaning is pretty clear.

I'm even designing a 3D printed jig so I can securely connect any two bottles and let gravity do the work overnight.

Same. I still believe "if you take care of the pennies the dollars take care of themselves" of course, that implies the ownership of dollars, which some do not have, so this wisdom does not always translate completely.
