[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine how much extra money you would have if you didn't save for retirement or your children's college. A lot of people don't save anything, ever.[/quote]

&/or don't worry about racking up huge credit card bills then only making the minimum payment every month, having a huge morgage, taking out large loans when buying cars, etc.

Also, many benefit quite a bit from their own cheapness. They give horrifically small tips, calculate every last penny when splitting resteraunt bills (even with friends/relatives they know are a lot worse off than they are financially), con or guilt friends/neighbors/relatives into watching their kids for free so they never have to pay for a babysitter yet expect other parents to pay them even for supervising the other parents' kids for 3 minutes at the park while the parents run & get something from the car or go to the bathroom, set up (or manipulate others into setting up) absurd Go Fund Me campaigns to pay for their vacations,  kids' camps & activities, etc,  finding a way to make it seem like what they are asking for is not at all a luxury & they really can't afford to pay for it themselves & embellishing/selectively telling their stories as to tug on people's heartsrings  so that they donate ("I am an unemployed single mom!" With a huge trust fund, one self supporting son who is 46, & an ex who still pays me large amounts of child support each month...."My baby was premature!" Two and a half decades ago & only if one considers a baby born at  39 weeks & 6 days 
to be "premature"...."My child was born with a terrible birth defect!" Really? A minuscule birth mark on her toe is a terrible birth defect??).

All these things can really add up over the years![/quote]
