I guess being thrifty involves buying things that you like at a high price as long as you see that there is value in it and not just saving on every single cent you can.<br /><br />For example, a person might spend alot on clothes but spend less on other things which he or she deems is not so important. That in itself is thrifty versus someone who does not want to spend money on anything.<br /><br />CW8888,<br />Yes, I will run far far away if I see him =) hahahahfinancialfreedomhttp://sgfinancialfreedom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345069859964317097.post-28819248895464373372009-11-14T08:48:37.245+08:002009-11-14T08:48:37.245+08:00You guys better be alert if LP is around.

He may use your tissue paper, borrow your mobile phone to make calls, telling you that he run of coins to buy drinks from the vending machine, etc. (Just joking.

The line is rather thin but if you take extra effort to get free stuff and start to annoy others around you, then you know you've crossed that line!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MusicwhizMusicwhizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950754156386935254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345069859964317097.post-61017920803519015062009-11-13T14:00:54.946+08:002009-11-13T14:00:54.946+08:00You people are wicked!

It really got my creativity going and may I suggest that you can consider committing a crime and go to jail. As far as I know you don't have to pay any rental for the cells, and the best thing is that some of the things you've suggested (i.e. use a fan instead of the air conditioner) are already quite close to a life behind bars. Might as well go the whole hog! :)Finaratihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988388892494972294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345069859964317097.post-66245361445198587612009-11-12T21:54:44.985+08:002009-11-12T21:54:44.985+08:00Hey FF,

Oh, while you're there, get the tissue which is free flow too.<br /><br />2. Get two ez link card. One with money and one without. Always try the one without money first, if the bus captain didn't complain, walk straight in. If he complains, use the other ez link card.<br /><br />3. Never use your own toilet. Do it outside. If you really have to, flush once per week. And with rainwater.<br /><br />4. Do check out your neighbors plants. Sometimes, they have chilli padi or pandan leaves, so you can 'borrow'. Don't buy salt/pepper and other condiments too. Always borrow from your neighborhood.<br /><br />5. Go to temple/church for your free lunch. It's buffett, so eat all you want.<br /><br />6. Get up earlier than your neighbors. Then take their newspaper. It'll save you a few dollars per day - a few hundreds per year.la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345069859964317097.post-87515686179367578812009-11-12T21:47:47.677+08:002009-11-12T21:47:47.677+08:00Hi Financial Freedom,
