stingy

They say that is how the rich get richer! However, I don't think this is a good way to live life. Money comes and goes. When you die you can not take it with you. So why not share and let others be blessed as well? That is why I admire those that are involved in charity. The more you give the more you get is my philosophy.

I think that being "stingy" is a negative word. I will stand with my principle that anything in excess is not good anymore. Same with being stingy. If an individual is excessively stingy, it becomes something that is not good. But if done at reasonable times and appropriately, it will be a good way to being wealthy. I think that I am stingy in some things but I am not at times. It depends on the things I will buy or will do. I am stingy if I feel that I should be and I am generous at times I feel like giving. So I guess, it depends on also on my mood and what I am buying.

My husband and I are selling magazines from the lung association and we walk around from house to house. The people who live in big houses buy less magazines than the people who live in apartments. When we walk around in an area with big and expensive house and a lot of people say no when we ask them if they want to support the lung association. My husband usually jokes about it and say that they are rich because they don't spend their money I do get the impression that many rich people are stingy, but of course it is not true in every case. I am not stingy, but I hope that I can become better at saving up money, because we really want to save up money for a trip to Asia and we have to learn to spend less money than we do at the moment.

Me Stingy or Miserly Aw c'mon, I am not rich I am the biggest Spendthrift you would ever find in your locality During my good times, I used to spend more that I earned and still, I wasnt in any kind of debt and even today, my wife doesnt allow me to handle finances just because she knows how big a spendthrift I am... I am worst when it comes to money and planning. And I did not mention that I am a kid at heart and so it is more all spontaneous. About the rich... hmmm.... if they were my kind of people... they would never have been rich

i think stingy is not a good attitude for all people in this world. we need to share all what we have to other that need our help. stingy will make a bigger differences and long distances in the relation on people. i am not a stingy people, i will try to share what i have to each other, i think it is exciting can give something that useful for someone, there is an amazing feeling that you will get. so i think we have to keep away from stingy characteristic from ourlife,it will separate us in longer distance each other.

When I find myself in need of money, I think I just wish I had just enough money to be comfortable. Rich people are never satisfied with the amount of money they have, they'd rather see people starve on the street and become homeless rather than lose money on an investment. This greed is part of the reason why this country is in the financial crisis it's in.

I do not agree with the words, stingy or miserly. The words I would use to describe my spending habits as prudent and frugal. The difference being, a miser will not spend even in a necessity and a frugal person will not spend unnecessarily.

I'd rather be thrifty than miserly. When you are miserly, you aren't into sharing your blessings. Sometimes sharing your wealth can make you richer, it all depends on how you spend it to help people.

In some cases, yes, rich people can be stingy and because they are stingy that they became rich. However, there are also those that are rich but were not stingy. It depends on how the person get rich at the very first place. Their childhood background may have profound effects on them to be stingy or too wise at spending even after getting rich. I give you an example, I'm now taking my degree and when I try to save money, I spend Rm100 per month for food expenses which is equal to almost 33 us dollars. My colleague spends RM300 and above on food expenses which is about 100 us dollars per month. My degree course takes 4 years so roughly 48 months altogether not including the breaks. let's make it 50 months. So I saved about 70 us dollars per month. 70 X 50 = 3500 us dollars. Imagine that I reduce my expenses on other things as well, I will be wealthier compared to my colleagues
