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.

Lucky bugger!I turned 40 earlier this year, and everyone pretty much ignored it.
Your mate's bash was far superior to the last minute book I got from the wife and the ten minute visit from two mates.
Ah well. Now I plan for my 42nd.... a far more significant year.
[Edit: I will thank one of my friends for a most thoughful gift - a CD compilation with his choice of the most amazing music from each year of my life. Truly remarkable and thoroughly fun! Cheers Sheepy!]

Well, a party doesn't happen on it's own, you knowIt took 6 months of organising for my party to come off...booking venue, bands, catering, hotels, liaising with everybody.
Twas worth it as the first (and last, until I'm in a box) time I got all my siblings together in one room (parents divorced so they are all "half").
Parties only work if you put the effort in - I'd love it if someone organised a surprise party for me but it will never happen.
Must say though since the 40th I've stopped bothering, because it seemed like only myself and one other mate went to the bother of organising them. Oh well.
