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.

I have to defend the OP hereOK, maybe the way he put it was a bit over-the-top, and the "think about it" sounded preachy...
But even not counting the exaggerated list of things like cleaning bills, the fact remains that alcohol is a very expensive passtime.
There's nothing wrong with having a drink now and again - but I have no symathy for the people who complain that they have no money, when they've made it a lifestyle choice that in order to enjoy themselves they need to go out and spend vast amounts of money on getting pissed.
As for the people who replied saying that the OP was "no fun", I do hope that those replies were due to the attitude inferred - and not simply because of the fact that he does not drink. Anyone who thinks that alcohol is a prerequisite to having fun hasn't got their head screwed on straight.
