I'll admit to any of them if it lets me get my way! LOL

I often joke that I can pinch a penny so hard that Lincoln screams. I actually call myself a "money hoarder" more than anything else. I'm one of those extremely boring people that puts her entire bonus and tax refund into savings.

But I am happy to spend money sometimes, too. I frequently treat myself to small purchases - books, fabric, etc. And sometimes I pry enough money out of myself for something big (like a very nice longarm...) but it's much harder for me to spend that much.

I'm not always very wise in where I decide to save some money though. I am wearing eyeglasses at least 4 years out of date right now - an example of me being cheap! (Well, and also lazy; my long-term eye doctor retired and I haven't felt like finding a new one.) But when I go to the dentist I always pay extra (sometimes a LOT extra) for the best-quality fillings/crowns/etc I can get.

So I guess I'm both cheap and extravagent.
