I hate wasting money on useless bad stuff and take a looooong time to decide on investments starting at one buck. That defines a cheap ass, does it not?
Investing in people though is never wasted money. At least to me. One less person that needs to endure a horrible boss. And we (and him) get nice food.
I turn every buck around if that investment is worth it. Literally starting at one Euro.
I would never e.g. get a coffee at Starbucks (or wherever) for 10 bucks as I could have 50 cups at home for that.
I have two pair of shoes, two pants and just a handful shirts.
I’ve been told to be a horrible cheapskate a thousand times.
I can relate to that, partially. Sadly I’m impulsive and will eat out or order food (I can’t afford to hire a cook anyway lol), but I tend to own one pair of shoes, a pair of jeans, 2-3 pairs of shorts and a handful of black t-shirts. All my socks are the same so I don’t have to throw out a pair if one sock develops a hole (socks are a bit of an expense for me, I don’t get the cheapest ones because those start smelling really quickly for me for some reason)

So you hire a personal cook?!
Yes. We both hate cooking and also, at best, can heat up pasta.
You may be cheapass, although I don’t see how, but you are definitely also loaded.
