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.

My sister
My mum lives over in South Africa and has had a lean few months since the collapse of the global economy. She's taken on another 2 jobs part time to subsidise her income and is one the hardest working people I know. She doesn't have much money to go out and never asks for anything, but my brother who is an IT contractor in London offered her £400 as a gift to out and spoil herself. My sister on hearing this news told my mom it was a ludicrous idea and that she would never give my mom anything until she was able to look through her accounts and "make sure she had no money". My sister said this after she'd already told my mom she had saved up £20k and wasn't sure what to invest it in. The tight cow earns in two days what my mum earns in a month!! She's also going home at Christmas and is expecting to stay rent free for a month. I despair at my sisters greed, lack of humility and deluded visions of happiness.

Have you tried
punching her face in?

I think that would be a technique I'd certainly investigate.

isnt it amazing how members of your own clan can turn out to be
scum?

I think the technical term for her
is a ungrateful, selfish cunt.

EDIT: your sister, not your mother.

Arrgghhh
It winds me up even thinking about it. She earns stupid amounts of money and this year she went to singapore, several music festivals, australia, Ibiza (twice), loads of partying here and in Holland and yet she was one week into winter crying her eyes out saying how depressed she was. Mark my words she's going to single and lonely for a long long time.

She has £20K????
Is she married, engaged??? I am definately interested if she is free!

She's single
Very very single. I'd be willing to give anyone another 20k if they could stay with her for a year.

I'm tempted.
Does she have a cracking set of norks?
