Would you feel embarrased if you are known as a stingy person?

Question

Like even your best pal buddy of life and other friends know that trait of you but it seems you dont care about being stingy. So you often likes people to invite you your male friends or female friends to meals (not always always of course but often) .
And that happens not because you dont have money, you do have money because you work but that is your personality. What kind of person these people are going to become in their future?

Your thoughts?

Ever since my husband got me divorced for the past 2 years, i v'e not been my self. I was reviewing some post of how i could get back my husband then, i saw a testimony shared by Marina Choas from SWEDEN about a spell caster named Dr. tunde. I contacted Marina Chaos to confirm about how Dr. tunde helped her and she clarified everything to me of how he helped her and that gave me the courage to get in touch with Dr. tunde for help. Dr. tunde assured me that my days of sorrows will be over within 48hours after he has finished with his work. I followed his instructions he gave to me because i had the believe, faith, hope and trust in him. Verily i say to you today that i and my husband are back together and i can proudly say and testify to the world of what Dr. tunde did for me. Contact him today via E-mail:(babatundesolutioncentre1@gmail. com) OR call him or whatsapp him +2348143581382 if you seek his help. Also specialize in treating all kinds of illness, HERPES VIRUS, HEPATITIS B, CANCER, BRAIN DISEASE, INFERTILITY, DIABETES AND MORE

One of my friends was like that. I hated going out with him cause it wasn't fun at all. He didn't like going to malls or to pool houses or bowling. I'd have to pay for him every time and he was sort of surprised when I was spending MY money to have MY share of fun. He once got chips, some kind of canned dip and shit ton of 10g portions of ham and then ate it at the fast food where I got my lunch cause it was cheaper. Everyone was looking at him like wtf.

I don't know how his life will be later on cause he also lies A LOT to the people who he dates but I'm glad that I won't be part of his life.

I found a new friend who's more 'my type' and wayyy more fun.

If I knew for sure that the person had a decent living, I wouldn't hate that person for being stingy but I would have a really tough time liking him/her.

That being said, people do tend to make assumptions without knowing other's stories. For example, when I was growing up, people used to call me stingy but they didn't know I grew up in extreme poverty. Of course it was embarrassing but I couldn't do anything about it. It was more embarrassing for people to know we were poor so I just avoided a lot social situations. I am sure I wouldn't have been called stingy if they knew my story. My closest friends are those who've listened to my story and were happy to spend money on me without anything in return. Now that I make my own money, I give what I can and am happy to do so.

I like to believe that people can change but since it's ongoing I'd definitely try my best to stay away from that person. He's what you call a creep. People who only want what's best for themselves and don't care about others can't be trusted.

No personally i'd take it as a compliment. I'm not shy about my thriftiness. And personally i could give less than a damn if they're ok with it. I'll be on my porch drinking cocoa ( i don't like coffee) waving goodbye as they're still driving to work @ 70. While i'm relaxing and enjoying my retirement. F*** them! 😁

Lol no ma'am not retired yet. Still working towards it. Arguably i could retire now but it wouldn't be rhat comfortable of a living. I agree with you i'd rather keep working while i'm able. It's just a nice feeling that with each passing year the less and less you HAVE to.
Ironically i have a friend who's 47 that just retired. I said the same thing to you that you said to me. He just sold his business that he owned for 20 years. And he makes 100k a year off his investments without touching his principle. I figure i'll use what he does a little as a guide. Lol

No! My friends and family KNOW I'm frugal and I don't care! I only spend it on things I really want or need and save the rest.

I rather be known as stingy than someone that's always broke or living paycheck to paycheck. It's called being responsible and knowing how to manage your money.

The only people that complain about it are the ones that don't have it or want some of it. I've never met anyone rich that got that way giving away money. Warren buffet is an exception but he had a lot when he started giving it away
