In my family, there are penny-
pinchers
and spendthrifts, and everything
in
between. My brother Frank has the
reputation for being stingy
with
money. He likes to save up and only
spend when he has to. I
bet he
has a lot stashed away. He's
careful
with money but he does spend it when
he
thinks it's necessary, and his wife and kids are
very
comfortable.
On the other hand, my brother Jack
is
known as a spendthrift. It's not that he's a
big
spender or a high roller. It's
just
that he's not very careful with money and
doesn't
think it's that important. When he has it, he
doesn't think twice about spending
it.
With his friends, he's generous to a fault
.
So, what am I? A penny-pincher or a
spendthrift? I
guess I'm a little of both. It depends
on
who's asking and how much they
want to
borrow.
