zero You're so bad with cash the only way you'll get a small fortune is if you start with a large one The list seems to be roughly evenly split between things I wouldn't dream of doing, and things that save virtually no money, so I wouldn't bother. Sometimes in restaurants I get caught sneaking extra cash into the tip and people make me take it back. |

The Money Worrying Expert, if you worry about money every day until it consumes your every thought, you may be able to buy more DVD boxsets at the end of the month. |

He's more about getting into good habits - he's made and saved me a fortune down the years. And he's did nicely out of it too, sold the site for millions IIRC and this is his wife https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=lara+ ... 66&bih=672 |

I'm 38% tight apparently although I think that some of the scenarios presented weren't so much about being tight as being a d!ck. |

31%. And I'm not really that money conscious at all frankly. Besides, some of them aren't m,obey saving tips, they're downright dishonest. The one about putting less in when splitting a restaurant bill isn't being prudent, it's swindling your own friends. That doesn't make you smart, it makes you a [LIFTED]. |

You are right. The one about hiding during your round, or shortchanging the tip being two. Though listening to a CD or watching a DVD is only worth thinking about if not sealed, I mean you need to be sure it works oh and that you might like a copy yourself.

Question 10: Have you ever snuck your own crisps, drinks or sweets into the cinema? It's because of people doing that (amongst other reasons) that I don't go to the cinema anymore. So I'm saving a lot of money there.

I was 17% tight. Question 1 was a bit daft as I don't have any leftover milk in my cereal. I drink the rest with a spoon. Sent from my big ass Sony Xperia Z Ultra tabphonelet, using Tapatalk 4. |

You are 8% tight "You need to tighten up, you're flushing money down the loo. Thrift is a virtue." that was after the 6th attempt to take the test. It kept jumping straight to the end, saying 0%. If you have 3rd party tracking disabled, it doesn't work. |

39% and the same, a lot of them seem tight and vain (putting cheap things in brand boxes) and some are just plain rude (skipping rounds and not paying your share) Gf got 54% but she would haggle in a charity shop, I just wouldn't buy it
