If you start to suffer unnecessarily to save money - such as not have the heating on when it is -5 outside and blowing a gale.An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T

I know a man who has a really good job no outgoings etc and he split up with his gf just before christmas as he didnt want to buy her a present!. the same person will go out with a group of us for something to eat , take his son and then has a really good moan when we expect him to pay for his son as well as he expects us all to pay a portion of his sons meal as well.
he also makes sure he is last in the pub so he doesnt buy a round! now i think that's stingy!0 -
Saving becomes stingy when you leave your pregnant girlfriend and offer to pay for an abortion 'it'll be cheaper than paying maintenence when I win the Masters'. (said to me by my professional golfer EX boyfriend)
What a lucky escape we had

I remember someone my mum used to know. He was quite wealthy, I remember my mum telling me that she had seen him and he had offered her a quarter of a polo and said 'I think a quarter is enough for anybody!!! Now personally I think that's tight!!!
That's not tight ........ Only offering folk the centre, now that's tight.

You leave your footprints all around the sun
And every time the storm and the soul wars come
You just keep on walking0 -
I nominate my OH as the stingiest **** ever. After 22 years he gave me his 1st contribution towards Christmas, the Nectar points he gained from petrol, he didn't even pay for the petrol-his firm did.Tallyhoh! Stopped Smoking October 2000. Saved £29382.50 so far!0
