I have a list of things to buy or have done. Some are gluttonous and some are essential (like for instance, I need an oil change), but I just don't want to spend the money. I itemize things in my head and automatically see my checking account shrinking due to the purchase. I'm cheap. I like to think about and plan having nice and new things, but don't like actually spending money.

I vary. I'm usually like that too but every so often I buy something that's a bit pricey as well.

Re: How Cheap Are You?
I'm cheap, but I will spend money if I have to. I constantly look for cheaper alternatives for most things, but I will not sacrifice quality. As I get older, I've gotten a better handle on my finances, even though I still get baffled as to where my money goes. If there is something that I want and I don't need, I'll most likely put it off until I can really afford it. Like that 2011 Audi A4.

Re: How Cheap Are You?
Im not cheap at all, I spend my money wisely and freely. I love giving money to the kids so they can go buy a favorite toy or ice cream. On a date I always spend freely if I want to enjoy myself too. I also give to charities every month. You know what they say you have to give to get!!

Re: How Cheap Are You?
I'm frugal when it comes to buying ("luxury") things for myself, not others.

Re: How Cheap Are You?
I'm semi-frugal, but wouldn't call myself cheap. I work for the sake of making money so I can spend it. I casually save money, but unless I have something in mind, I don't go out of my way to horde it.

Re: How Cheap Are You?
I am pretty cheap. But I am also a bit of a contradiction. I love to spoil myself and others, but always try to do so on the cheap. But I do buy fun/luxury items at will. And I can be a bit of an impulse buyer. But, for everyday life, I use coupons, and maximize savings when I can.
