At least they are willing to spend it. The Founder of Kimray was so tight he would try to split a senior plate at the local cafeteria. Multi-milionaire and wouldn't spend a dime unless absolutely necessary. Was working with him one time and his faucet was dripping. Instead of making a quick trip to the nearby hardware store and picking up a 25 cent washer and have it fixed in 20 minutes max., we had to rummage through his shop, find some suitable rubber and make a washer. Took over an hour. He was so afraid that his money would be spent unwisely that when he died he ended up leaving the burden of being involved in managing a huge trust to his kids but they can't access or spend a penny of it.
