Why are the rich so cheap?

[Stinchcomb]

Now I know how the Grand Canyon was formed. :eusa_doh: Stinch dropped a penny down a crack in the ground. [huh]

Yeah, I've been known to chase down a penny I've dropped a time or two.

And when lint falls out of a navel?

I get burned every time by a penny or a dollar note glued to the street . . . I imagine i'll be on youtube before i know it. That crazy guy who won't stop trying to pick up the free money.

What's so funny is I'm that way about a penny, but can go spend $20 on something I find out I don't need and instead of taking it back, will just keep it or give it to someone who can use it. My wife gets on to me about that all the time.

That can be added to the dryer lint for the pillow. Duu

It's the principle of the thing. I don't mind leaving a penny in the "take a penny, leave a penny" jar, but if the cashier just ASSUMES you don't want it, i would always demand it . . .

Bingo. That was the real reason I did it. But, she looked at me like I was cheap or something. I usually will put a penny or two in the tray myself.

I guess I'm saying what some think of as cheap maybe just..........what? Help me out here.

 

[Caledonia]

...astute financial planning?

 

[Caledonia]

Or... "What some think of as cheap... who the heck cares what they think!"

 

[Marc Chevalier]

After all, the rich didn't become rich by being spendthrifts, yes?

.

 

[Caledonia]

I concur. Or I would if I knew what a spendthrift was? Sounds a bit like a contradiction of terms. Hope to be enlightened.

Do I hear banjo music?

"Squeal like a pig!" Better yet, like a penny in BK's hands.

I've got sacks of the damned things. When I get change back, I usually throw it in the car ashtray, on the dresser or bag it. This is interesting because my wife manages to spend it for me. Its kind of like the Yin and Yang of change.
I can't be bothered carrying around change. Why can't they make 10, 25 and 50 cent bills like they did in the 1870s? I would carry those.

Yeah, I bet you gotta a purty mouth there city boy.

Didn’t mean to sound backwoods redneck about the shooting part, in the local news here in the Atlanta area there seems to be a lot of home invasions and more so than not the home owner shoots the invaders and see the perps off to jail or the morgue.

I actually hate change in my pocket. We have an old glass water bottle that we put all our loose change in. We emptied it about 5 years ago and it added up to nearly $500 and was only about half full. We'll it's nearly half full agian.

You better not say where you live. BK will raid the place for the change.
