Are you generous with money?

[mvd]

Poll question: Are you generous with money?

Don't worry, I won't jump on you if you aren't. Cheapness is one of my pet peeves, though, and I'd consider myself in the middle of cheap and generous. I try to be cautious.

1. i am ridiculous about money

its really just paper to me...thankfully my wife is far far better

[cheezus]

2. cheap for myself, generous towards others

so long as I have a computer less than 10 years old and a broadband connection I'm fine.

3. Other way around

If I was a lot richer, I'd be more generous.

5. With friends or family, I am extremely generous.

It's just money. But, if I notice that the generosity is one-sided, then my generosity ends. :-)

Let's just say that I don't buy much anymore for my flaky, crappy maid of honor who makes tons of money but couldn't bother even getting us a card for our wedding.

12. I'm known on the streets as...

The Panhandler Magnet... Last week I was approached and had to decline as follows: "Sorry, buddy; I got cleaned out a black ago." I'm not kidding! He understood.

14. ruinously generous here. . .

15. I think so

But I like giving gifts. Or rather, I love shopping.

16. I am careful in a family that loves to spend it.

My husband made good money and I did not even spend that. My father made good money and I was still careful but I have lent or given my children enough to keep me broke and I really do not care. If I can pay my bills I am happy and I never buy new stuff but do have a fondness for books. So I guess I am cheap from lack of interest. I drive cars until they have over 300,ooo on them and my clothing falls apart. I drove my mother and my husband nuts.

local democratic party.
