"A cheapskate:
- Does not spend more money that he/she earns, no matter how desperate or tempting the situation might appear.
- Has a spirit of generosity, regularly sharing money, time, and other resources with people in need.
- Lives honestly and ethically, regardless of the temptation to do otherwise in order to get a better deal.
- Saves at least 10 percent of all income.
- Does not buy compulsively but makes intelligent and well-thought-out choices.
- Lives within a financial plan that includes a margin to allow for fun and spontaneity.
That's it! Nothing negative or shameful. Being a cheapskate is honorable. You see, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having nice things or having dreams and goals for achievement and success. But we get into trouble when we demand the right to have things now by diving head-over-heels into debt through the improper use of credit."
