Love this.

I actually don't spend money. In last 20 years I would say maybe on average $500 a year tops.

We are not cheap, we are just very thrifty and we always have been. We have done very well and part of that is that we have been thrifty. But we do enjoy life, we are retired, but we try to be very smart about our spending.

We spend a lot of money on charitable giving. Not just straight donations but charity auctions, that type of stuff. Also food and wine.

Cheap on house, cars, furnishings.

Spend on good quality food and maybe the shopping experience of Whole Foods. Giant feels third world to me. Yes to travel. I also keep a nice handbag and shoes (on sale though). Don’t have credit card debt. Increasing retirement savings.

I'm cheap in that I will rarely pay full price for things like clothes and shoes. Especially store I know have big sales often or I go to the outlet.

I'm spending on good quality meats, but I otherwise am cheap (or smart) on groceries and shop mostly at aldi.

I've enjoyed cooking more while at home, sl allowing myself some indulgences like le creuset and new sous vide gadgets for example...but outlet or sale.

I will spend money on travel, but *budget* travel. Cheap about everything else.

I am not cheap but definitely try always to find the best price in clothes, furniture, groceries, my car, budget items (insurance, internet, phone, etc), food,

I am not cheap about shoes (but still try to find discounts), my hair, face cream.

I am never cheap about health care.

Cheap- we've never hired anything out. DH and I have always just learned to do what we needed- paint, plumbing, landscaping, laying floors. We also stay in really cheap hotels because we don't care about the hotel. All our kids clothes are from goodwill and they look great because kids run through clothes so quickly.

Spendy- home decor, our clothes (few clothes but they're pricey, like dh has tailor made shirts), fancy vacations to exotic places (but like I said, we stay in shitty hotels)

Cheap on clothes, spend on shoes. I buy them rarely, but I buy well made ones.

Cheap on furniture, spend on art.


How do you only color every six months? I have roots showing after four weeks.
