Have you ever been called cheap in your life because of your frugality?

Yep, I've been called cheap by my coworkers because I pack my lunch from home. But I don't give a damn!

Usually it's the opposite. Many of my friends and acquaintances envy the fact that I'm satisfied with the simple things in life.

Yes. The key is to not care what other people think and to keep spendthrifts out of one's circle of friends. I mean, seriously, America is a nation of overweight, undisciplined, spendthrifts. Why would I want to be like the majority of people?

Yeah I'm with you there. There is a difference between cheap and a theft. Torrents blur that line.

Not really, I'm not a cheap skate. I like to get the best quality for my money. I've called a few friends cheap skates if we were out having a good time all in good fun.

I have been called cheap numerous times.

I'm quite proud of it.
