👉 frittering is a term used in the context of economics, specifically in the field of finance. It refers to an activity or investment that involves taking advantage of market conditions and short-term fluctuations to gain an immediate profit rather than investing long-term capital into a stable asset or business. For example, if someone invests money in a stock, they are frittering away their money by buying it at a low price and selling it at a higher price, hoping to make a quick profit.
