Cheap Parents

Anyone else here have parents that are just plain stingy? I don't mean about giving you money. I mean the type of people who have means but still nickle and dime things to death. Example my mom has an old Sony Vaio desk top that came out the year xp did and constantly complains that it is slow. So I tell her to go buy a 3-400$ laptop that has 5 times the capabilities and she complains that 400$ is alot of money. Or they go on a 2 week cruise and complain that the 40$ cab ride to the airport is expensive. Those type of people.

6 siblings, 7 kids including me.
My parents ain't cheap we we're just broke. They'll spend money on shit so it doesn't break in two weeks though. I've always had nice shoes. So that's cool, but as far as non essentials go I didn't have shit. We had a lot of computers because my dad worked with them but still, not a lot of money for leisure.

It's worse to ask your dad for $20 so you can go on a kickass field trip for school, and he says he's broke. Then you see fucking scratch tickets in his truck every single fucking day.
Or to go on vacation and only eat fast food and Denny's the whole time, knowing they have enough for a damn pizza or something.

My mom always had billabong, american eagle clothing, fistfuls of jewelery, went on vacations, owned a house, several cars. I never went on vacations and she bought all my clothes at the salvation army. My dad did his best but for the most part whatever he bought me was the product of a good crop. He was never cheap and still isn't.

i swear to god im such a picky eater cuz my mom is cheap as fuck and growing up always bought THE shittiest food. which sucks cuz when you buy the shitty store brand shit from the cheapest supermarket in the area, that shit ends up sitting in the freezer for monhs til you throw it away cuz no one wants to fucking eat that shit. so instead of saving money youre literally just throwing it away. so fucking stupid
which is dumb as fuck cuz we had the money to buy better food and not act like were on the poverty line, but she grew up in a poor household with 8 other siblings and i just think its like this super deep subconscious thing for her to try to save money for no real reason

My parents are the opposite. My father could be so much richer than he is now. He's the type of guy that will give a 50$ bill to pay for a 30$ lunch and not ask for change. He'll go a weekend somewhere and live like a king. Waste like 10000$ on a trip that could have cost only 1000$. That kind of stuff.
It annoys the shit out of me. Then again he likes to live. Its just that he doesn't realize that if he had saved his money he could now live like a king every single day until he dies.
My mom spends but she's a lot more responsible.

Your posts insinuate that you still live with your parents. Move out and you get to call your own shots.

My folks will do the opposite, spend like 10,000$ to get somewhere and then live and cheaply as possible once they are there.

My uncle is a millionaire. Cheapest son of a bitch I've ever met.
He hires homeless crackheads to do all the work on his houses that he rents. Pays them $8-$10 an hour and always tries to dock off a few hours. He has also traveled the world but NEVER without his parents, he figures if they go then he gets to travel for half the cost because theyll pretty much pay for everything.
-------------------- When you see him look him in the eye, look him in the eye and he won’t dare to follow If you need to, hook him with your right, hook him with your right till he wiggles and wallows He sleeps atop a bag of raven’s legs, curled up rats napping by his head Takes his eye out with a ball point pen And makes nunchaku with his torn off legs You wake up with a hatchet over your head You wake up with a hatchet over your head

My dad's dad used to own cars, planes, even an island. Ran with some hardcore bikers in the 60s. Had a lot of money. Then he came home to beat his wife and shoot squirrel and groundhog for his 7 kids.

Yeah my grandparents were cheap even when they didn't have to be. Growing up I basically got one meal a day and it had be 5 dollars or less.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

my mom is cheap about computers too, she is still using a dell tower from 2002. i guess it works though, it only needs a cleanup every year or so once it starts taking 15 minutes to boot up. she doesnt seem to mind the general slowness 
otherwise, they tend to go all out when they need a new appliance or furniture
