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.

Good grief; I always thought stuff like that was apocryphalI've some friends who used to have au-pairs (a different one each year), and they made a point of providing a generous allowance and treating the au-pair as part of the family, not as a glorified servant. They'd still have au-pairs except that their boys are now 14 and 16, with all the raging hormones (and horniness) that implies.

Truth...Stranger stuff happened...not relating to this QOTW, these people were mean/tight in these instances,not always it has to be said.
I am sure it is not the case for everyone,however you never know what goes on behind closed doors and that is the truth.
