Tightwads
There'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.

I lived (well existed) there for five years...
Long story, and not a good one tbh, makes me sound like a stupid cunt.
I mean, well yes I am a stupid cunt, but it makes me sound worse.
I was eventually evicted on grounds of non-payment of rent (due to getting less than a pittance from a band of slavedrivers and having been told beforehand I'd not even be considered for any form of housing benefit, hence not trying even though I'd probably have got enough to survive with), and to this date the retarded scumbag's not seen a penny out of me for it.
And so help me Bob the fucker never will.
(and yes, I know now I could have said I was witholding rent until repairs were made, but it was really too much to fight, especially after he kept coming round with threats of violence and the police kept telling me he had a right to be "passionate" about his money)
(I've never been especially good with confrontation btw, and him shouting and screaming and threatening like that scared the shite out of me, in spite of my size (6 foot plus) and weight (now 15 stone, down from 18 stone). Though I'm probably better than I was.)
