Are you a spender or a cheapskate?

It is one thing to be frugal, but a cheapskate drives me nuts. Those are the people that have all of the money too!!!

We do manage our money very well, I am the type that buys the 5 t-shirts for $10 to wear to the gym and love Sam's Cub/Costco etc. My wife buys the best brands she can but keeps stuff forever. She loves to spend but she makes great money so she has that right.

Sometimes you have to treat yourself. The things I will not be cheap with is shoes (sneakers) and lifting equipment. I'll spend $200 on a lifting belt if it will help me stay safe or $300 on sneakers if they are comfortable. But I seriously buy my t-shirts at the 5 for $10 store or wear freebies from the supplement companies that I have gotten over the years. Wife buys me clothes, I won't buy them myself.

I think people always find the money to spend on their "hobbies", but may not want to spend money on something they really need.

Totally agree, my wife gets mad because I buy Polo shirts at Walmart, its because I don't care about it. But when I ask her if I can buy a $200 lifting belt I get the stink eye as well. I can't win!!!

Re: Are you a spender or a cheapskate?

most of my money goes to food.. i eat a lot and since its all stuff that is on the outter edges of the grocery store, tends to be more expensive than boxed things.
