TightwadsThere's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

HmmmIt depends on the barometric pressure and humidity of the air, but a rule of thumb is that you can see your breath in still air if the temperature is around 10 degrees C or less. I'm a student in a cold, cold city with old, nasty buildings. I learned this the hard way.

A good routeto lung problems, underheating your home.
Look, we're designed to live in nice, warm places. We can deal with a bit of cold, but not constantly. Underheating homes kills more people than you'd think - being stingy can really really hurt some people.

Stop complainingand put another jumper/pair of socks on.
That's the rule in my flat too.
No heating until breath is visible!
Not just economic but eco friendly too.
