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.

Hmm
I am so tight that I refuse to pay the ransom money for my wife until I know they have run up the same cost to the kidnappers. I take costings out for light, heating (I assume its heated anyway as she was chained to a radiator on the picture they sent me) rent and food and stump up the cash after a good year or so.

What?

Sounds reasonable to me.

indeed
and is it really worth it?

The money they're asking is probably LESS than what your wife spends in a year. Leave her to them , I say.
