True Tight wad!!! Had an annual pt test and we had the choice of running in boots or tennis shoes. I didn't own any tennis shoes but the idea of running in them and them being so much lighter convinced me. I went to Dunhams sports. They let you buy a pair of shoes and keep them for up to thirty days and return them if you don't like them. They cant be worn or scuffed or anything. I took them out of the box, ran the pt test, put them back in the box and took them back to Dunhams, didn't likem, realy, if I had likedem I would have already had a pair.

My dear wife gets lots of clothes at goodwill and garage sales. Rick, Ever been to the main Goodwill on Prairie St in Grandville on a Friday? Every item is 50 cents. I haven't been in around 4 years, but what a zoo. Good bargains to be had! Jay |

I have never been a tightwad, never will. Until recently, I've spent money like there was no tomorrow and that has gotten me into trouble, nowadays, I'll ask myself " do I need it " and if so, " Do I need the expensive one or the cheap one " ?

Nope. We have a horse...and chickens, cats, dog, duck, bees, etc. My Dad, a car nut and talented tight wad, asked me why on earth I was paying all that money for a horsepower of one. I reminded him of his boat.
So far, I don't see anything cheap about bees, either. My and my two idle queen excluders are happy though.

i think you can be a tightwad and have toys. i have horses and bees. they both cost me money and enable me to earn none. i enjoy them. to have them, i squeeze the money to support them out of other things. + we have no debt other than the mortgage, so it's not such a hard thing to do.

Kathy, I agree. No debt except the mortgage plus living below our means has changed our lives. I'm unemployed, looking for a job, and not even worried. I had a month of extreme penny pinching when I first got laid off, but that was just a reaction. Seven months later, I'm totally relaxed. So clearly it's time to go back to work and get stressed again. Sigh.
