Short Link to this Quote:
In this quote, Robert Frost is commenting on how people generally do not like to carefully account for or recall exactly how they spent every small amount of money. The best interpretation is that Frost recognizes most people do not meticulously track or document every single penny they spend.
He suggests it is normal and natural for people not to perfectly remember or invent detailed explanations for where every single cent of money went. The implication seems to be that within reason, not worrying too much about small monetary details is an understandable and expected part of human nature.
