my grandparents wasted nothing.  They didn't own a lot, but what they had lasted for decades.  My most astonishing memory is that my grandpa kept track of his every cent.  He would write down at the end of the day how much change he had in his pocket.  My grandma probably never wasted a spoonful of anything from the kitchen.  

What are your tales of tight-waddery?

You don't own as many guns as I have by being frugal.

I'm the opposite.  I spend what I want, buy what I want, and have lots of fun stuff.  Can't take your money with you.  I don't have much debt but anything I want I buy.

Live for now.

i'm no where near a tighwad.  i consider most things disposable.  i maintain what i can and replace what i need to.  for me, it's more about time management.  some things aren't worth a lot of care.

I save the wrappers off of bubble gum to add to my tin foil collection.
