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.

So you hire a personal cook?!

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

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.

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)

Problem here with takeout is that it became unbearable bad, very small portions AND too expensive for what you want. Like at least 50 bucks for 2 people plus delivery and in the end you're still a Lil hungry.
There's no more fun in that.

For the rest, yes. A handful socks of the same type. One above the cheapest, as you said. We have a saying "who buys cheap, buys twice". For other people it probably looks like I only got one outfit 😁
