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.

I still get paid by cheque
and no, it isn't cheaper- in fact it's more expensive (even the banks want people to stop using them) but my boss doesn't even own a debit card, let alone a credit card, and so sees no reason why paying people with cheques in 2008 is sick and wrong.

Our office was last fitted out (furniture & paint wise) when it was opened in 1986- all the office chairs date from then. On mine the height adjuster is broken, so the chair is stuck so low that if my feet are flat on the ground my knees are higher than my lap.

We STILL have (AND USE!) an electric typewriter.

Beat that!
