Sometimes you gotta do it if you get laid off, for instance. Can't help that. But it's vitally important to pinch the pennies as tightly as possible and avoid going into debt as best you can, because it ultimately just robs you of freedoms later in life.

I hear you and for the most part have a healthy finincial portfolio but I hate people that are cheap and pinch ever damn penny. God lord live a little, you only have one life.

And if the only reason you are pinching every cent is so you can have quicker retirment, god bless you. I personally rather work then sit in my easy chair and watch the Price is Right every day at 60.

My brother in law's dad was just like that pinched every penny so damn cheap. He retired at 55 I belive, he went about 4 years of watching TV everyday, guess what now he has a job at a health club becasue he was so bored.

I HATE cheap people, I rather be broke and giving then rich and cheap, any day!

This was a general statement not targeted at you S10.
