What does the saying 'Penny wise pound foolish' mean?
It refers to a person who will go to great pains to save a few Pennies here and there, but think nothing of spending a large sum of money on something they do not need. 'Penny-wise and pound foolish' means to be careful with small amounts of money, but careless when dealing with large ones.

This means a person is careful or wise about little decisions but may not be careful about bigger ones.
