This is a question 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.

He did state "For reasons i'll not go into"
Perhaps there was a justifiable reason as to why he had to cancel his contract, which was outside of his control.
Let me give an example. My girlfriend had taken up a 12 month contract with another landline phone company, and she had to cancel her contract before she got to 12 months. The reason was because her landlord had evicted her. Why? Because she withheld her rent payments. Why did she do that ? Because the landlord had refused to accept his responsibilities to fix the staircase which had rotted, and partially collapsed. So in this situation, is it her fault that she had to break out of her 12 month contract?
She was also unable to make a complaint to the letting agent, because the letting agent had ceased their arrangement with the landlord for being an utter cunt.
