[quote=Anonymous]Also not in the U.S. so not waspy, but a lot of things already mentioned. My grandmother, raised in a very wealthy household, didn't believe in running hot water because cold water "builds character." What?! She was as cheap as can be. My aunt, gone now, had the family acumen, creating big wealth when she was a bored housewife. She was so cheap when I had a baby shower she gave me a little outfit that was so used it was limp. I wasn't sure what to make of that - early sign of dementia or pure cheapness. Frankly, it was a toss up on her mental state. [/quote]
