You guys refer to "cheapskate" as if it were the
scarlet letter. I wear the label with pride.
Dad raised me ... "Cholly (Brooklyn), money should be
as hard to spend as it is to earn".
Hidden fees , surcharges, additional taxes make me
twitch. I believe the type of manipulations the original
poster sites should be illegal. Amazing how some states
recognize that it is a problem and label it illegal.
Oh well, in the next 40 years (I wont be around) "cash" will
go the way of the Dodo. The world monetary system will probably
be based on "credits". Probably not worth the fight to change...
just another sign o' the times.
