How to be Cheap

Recently a college friend, who is known for being careful with his money, has confessed to me that in 2003 he spent a total of $42. About half went to a bicycle helmet, and he spent some on a box of pancake mix. Eight of these dollars were spent on a train ticket to visit me in the summer when we were home from school.

It is likely the case that never will anyone devote such a high percentage of their annual expenditures on me.
