A reader might interpret this allusion by understanding that Miranda is saying she saved her money greedily and obsessively, similar to the character Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." Scrooge was known for being miserly and hoarding his wealth, so by comparing herself to him, Miranda is showing that she was very cautious with her profits.
