I have never been called cheap.
At least, not to my face.
But, it would be accurate to describe my spending behavior to be conseravative as well as cautious. I never spend money on anything that I haven’t looked into first. And I yell at anyone who leaves the door open while the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C is running. My children have nearly given up on attempting to get myself and others to make an impulse buy. The argument of buying something just because I can simply doesn’t flow with me. Anytime a member of my family wants to purchase something with family money, they get the same answer from me. That answer is to go do the research then show myself and others the numbers. Otherwise, spend your own money. I have found that when 1 of the kids entirely does the due diligence, they tend to be much more selective as well as end up saving some money. However, I could ease up now as well as again. I realize this. The family went on a trip recently. They wanted to stay in a super luxury hotel. My wife as well as kids went online as well as found an incredible deal. I bought in as well as all of us booked our stay. The hotel was lovely indeed. However, the heating as well as cooling system in the room was completely insufficient. Every one of us were visiting an section noted for the heat as well as it was summer. The heat in the room was beyond oppressive. The repair guy tried several times. The hotel switched us to another room however it was as bad or worse. I know all of us all came to the same conclusion as to why all of us were able to get such a deal on the room rate.
