I am frugal. I admit it. I will buy a broken cheap car and fix it ten out of ten times. I enjoy saving money, I enjoy the work, and I enjoy the end result.

But I'm not cheap. Here is an example of 'cheap' to me.

My daughter and son-in-law live with us. He works from home in IT, she goes to college (round #2). They are both over 30. He makes good money, they have significant savings, and they only pay for groceries. Nothing else, ever.

Last week he got a voucher from his employer for $100 at a local grocery store, and he makes a big announcement 'I'm paying for all the food at the barbecue this weekend with my voucher'. Good, only fair, he eats twice what everyone else eats, never helps around the house ('sore back'), so we are all happy.

Yesterday he paid his 'rent' to my wife, and deducted the amount of the grocery voucher. {Edit: it's not rent, they make a small contribution to the monthly grocery bill...$150 per month each.}

What an ignorant a whole. /End of pandemic room-mate rant.

Be frugal. Don't be cheap.
