Huh. 45. But it seemed that a lot of the questions were about whether you had any integrity or not (go to the bathrooma dn hope they've paid for you) and didn't offer choices for being honest (I can't afford that hotel, lets camp)

Weird eh?

I love doing those kinds of tests though.... thanks for posting it.

I got 50

I like my score of 40. Not to stingy~not too freeflowing with the money, just right.

Mine was a 35.

While you may not be the cheapest person on earth, you do have some stingy tendencies. In certain situations, you get a tight grip on that cash and there's no way you're letting go. At other times, however, you let the coins flow like a river. It might depend on your mood that day or whether you're making a conscious effort to tighten the purse strings because of a precarious financial situation. There's also the possibility that there are certain things you don't mind splurging on, while others just aren't worth the sacrifice for you. Whatever your situation, this is probably a reasonable, healthy way to be. Just keep that balance between enjoying your money and thinking of the long-term repercussions of overspending, and you should be on the road to monetary stability.

Thanks Shell that was fun!

**Dixie** · 09-07-2005, 02:34 PM

I scored "60".

**Michele Annette** · 09-07-2005, 02:53 PM

50 for me. Some of the answers I would have chosen differently if there was an answer similar to what I was thinking...like Babs had suggested camping, for the hotel question. Me too!

I scored a '60', but I too was unhappy with the options given. I simply would have found an excuse to bow out of the hotel experience and, if pushed, would have told them it was too expensive for me.

Doesn't seem like the author of the test has a very good grasp of true frugality vs. cheapness. Frugality is about creative options and problem solving. Cheapness is the meanness the survey perpetuates.
