    There are some I hadn't heard of, they made me laugh thinking about some of the names. But I agree I like the last one.

    I'm not afraid to go ahead and call myself a Cheap B-word. Most of my habits, though, I keep to myself. I don't think anyone else would put me down for it.

    so tight you make a penny scream
    I've never heard that one before. It cracked me up!

    purposeful spender, so tight you make a penny scream,
    bargain hunter, frugal, survival expert, thrifty,
    pennywise, penny pincher, freebie junkie, good
    steward, wise one, cheapo, skinflint, parsimonious,
    freeloader, moocher, codger, squeaker, cheapaholic,
    maximizer, stretcher, smarter than most, Scrooge, Jack
    Benny, skimper ", may not be for all, but if I'm wealthy, I don't care what you think..... LOLOLOL.....
