I don't consider myself cheap, just careful with money. I don't live beyond my means, and I am an avid saver/invester because I want to retire at a decent age and still enjoy my life.

I lost it when she said "When I take a dump . . ."
Did anyone else catch that verbal eloquence?

Well at least she's in it 100%. What I find amusing is people who claim to be broke, are extremely cheap in some aspects of their life but then spend tons of money on bs.
One of my favorite is Prius owners. Like my best friend who bought a Prius and now he's an MPG nazi. I refuse to talk to him about cars because it always goes back to the MPG. He paid like $40k for a Prius (don't ask me how the hell he managed that) but thinks he's being frugal because of the MPG. He kept it a couple years and traded it in for ANOTHER brand new Prius? Seriously? C'mon man, tell me you get a chubby for Priuses, fine, but don't give me the "I'm saving money" bs. |

It's just disgusting seeing stuff like this. I stopped watching after seeing the bottle of water to wash herself off. I thought about it today and wondered if it's partly a cultural thing. In third world and developing countries, many people don't have the luxury of modern things so they get by doing everything they can with what they have. If she's been doing that for years I could understand how she would carry it on like that. It's still kinda over the top IMO.

Lmao these people have a disorder. I think they get a rise out of the concept of saving as much as possible even if the time and effort compared to the money saved is not worth it.
If they took the time and effort they dedicated to this behaviour and invested it into finding a better job, getting a promotion, working more overtime if possible, getting a second job, etc. their lives would be better off and their networth would be higher too. |

It was a show on TLC. She makes no money from the clips on youtube.

I'm not cheap, I usually buy what I want, when I want it. I'm not unreasonable though, and live pretty well within my means.

Did you guys see the "medical trials" cheapo guy?
Guy participates in all sorts of risky medical trials to get paid money. He takes experimental drugs, gets injected with non-FDA approved muscle relaxants, and even wanted to volunteer in a trial where they were testing out how the body would react to having its heart stopped for 1 minute on certain medication, for $35,000. He claimed that he has dozens of those medical scrubs from the medical trials and uses them to go out to the store, workout, and even as PJs for bed, and is glad he doesn't have to buy clothes often because of that. When the episode ended, he was super excited about a possible experiment where he would donate one of his testicles to science and get an artificial "nut" plugged into him for $25,000.

I gotta give it to the guy though. He might be doing it for the money, but there are a lot of people that are going to benefit from it. |

I can't stand cheap people and I clearly have no respect for them at all.
Like I just had a guy sending a fake mail about him wanting to buy a new car just to get free tickets for Geneva. And I know from colleagues that he did send his mail to a lot of dealerships. Did not even reply. |

So it's TLC who's making all the money from the clicks. Much better.

i wish i was little careful with money. i spend it like it grows on trees and then some. i cant stand cheap people and we collide, i always end up footing the bill or something, and that relationship goes sour quick.
