How far can the most stingy person you have ever seen dig?

I used to have a female colleague who was only in her twenties. When she got married, she got married and settled in the suburbs of Shanghai. Her husband is from Shanghai. She is not tall, wears a pair of short-sighted glasses and looks very quiet. But at work, he is very provocative and capable. Quick hands and feet, clever mind. She has a positive working attitude and strong working ability. I have to admire it. No one in the company dares to look down on her.

She comes from rural Anhui, her parents are rural primary school teachers, and her family is not rich. She went out to work early. She has a strong personality, works hard and is a very diligent person. She also has one of the most admirable advantages that many people are ashamed of-that is, she lives frugally. This is not ordinary frugality, which is beyond the reach of many of us. It's really incredible, jaw-dropping and amazing to say it.

As a first-tier city in China, China has the most developed economy and is also the largest international metropolis in China. Everyone must know the level of living consumption in Shanghai. Her monthly allowance never exceeds 100 yuan, mostly within 50 yuan, or even less.

She is the only child in the family. After graduating from high school, she came to work in Shanghai. Later, she married in a rural area on the outskirts of Shanghai, settled in Shanghai and gave birth to a child. Since then, she has never been back to her hometown. She has a wish, which is also her arrangement and plan. Qi Xin, the husband and wife, worked together to save money by working. She bought a commercial house in a town in the outer suburbs of Shanghai, took her parents from Anhui to Shanghai for the elderly, and the family got together.

In order to achieve this goal and realize this dream, she spared no effort to save money and save money. She earns thousands of dollars a month. She never spends a penny of this money, except for financial investment and buying a fixed amount of gold every month. The rest is basically saved by her. She lives in the company dormitory and seldom goes home. Her children are only a few years old, staying at home in the country and her husband working outside. The child is taken care of by her parents-in-law.

Because our company belongs to the textile and garment industry. Companies often give employees preferential treatment to deal with some overstocked clothes (exceeding orders and having some quality problems) cheaply. Other clothing companies that have business cooperation with this company often do the same. So there are many opportunities to buy cheap clothes. In addition, clothing is also a durable consumer product. As long as you don't like the new and hate the old, and don't catch up with the fashion, the expenses in this area can also be controlled within the limit of minimum consumption.

The company provides accommodation for its employees. Usually go to work, eat and live in the company. Don't spend your own money. Her monthly allowance is only the simplest daily necessities, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, snacks and paper. These things are not provided by the company, so we have to pay for them ourselves.

Arguably, how can a thrifty person like her choose to eat snacks? It seems inexplicable, but it seems a bit extravagant, which is out of tune with her living habits.

It turns out that there is a rule in the company that the company canteen should be closed on rest days and holidays and no catering service should be provided for employees. Then the problem of eating will be solved by itself. In order to cope with this problem, she had to go out and buy some snacks to satisfy her hunger.

Her favorite snacks are actually not special, they are very simple. It is the fried sunflower seeds that everyone usually sees. She bought all the cheapest sunflower seeds in bulk, and the weight of each purchase did not exceed 342. Whenever she can't eat in the canteen on rest days and holidays, she will peel some sunflower seeds to satisfy her hunger. Eat only a handful at a time, and never exceed the standard. Have another one. This is her fixed consumption for one month.

None of the hundreds of employees in the whole company works harder and thrifty.

Now, I have left that company and returned to my hometown for several years. I never saw her again. I wonder if her wish has finally come true? Did their family get together as they wished? Later, I learned that her father had cancer.

Where there is a will, there is a way. Hard-working people are rewarded by heaven! She is a filial daughter. As a former colleague, in addition to admiration, I can only sincerely wish her and her family far away!

A: There is a woman in my village who is 60 years old and has some money in her hand. She speaks methodically and feels very reasonable. Her husband is taciturn, honest and obedient to her. People say that being stingy means being stingy, but her being stingy is unreasonable.

First, break up with your own sister! Her own sister is also her matchmaker. She married in our village. Her only son is also her nephew who has leukemia. High cost. My brother-in-law borrowed money from her several times, but she never borrowed it. My sister is very angry with her. Suddenly, one year, my nephew died, and she didn't send gifts or visit my sister's house, so she cut off contacts from now on.

Second, cut off contacts with relatives! Her husband has two sisters. According to the custom, she calls her sister-in-law. The youngest sister-in-law got married and didn't pay back a penny of the gift money, so the road was broken that year. My sister-in-law's husband died of illness, and she didn't send a gift or go to see it, so she cut off contact from now on.

Third, she offended the whole village. There is a custom in our village that no matter who celebrates his 60th birthday, he should send birthday noodles to the whole village. Originally, each person had a big bowl of shredded pork noodles, but later, it changed customs and customs, and each person had half a catty of good noodles. It's simple. This custom continues to this day. Her husband is older. At the age of sixty, he set off fireworks, but didn't send birthday noodles. The whole village has an opinion. This year is when she is sixty years old, so is it! The problem is that someone is 60 years old, and she never refuses birthday noodles sent by others, which makes the whole village point fingers and gossip.

Surprisingly stingy, so there is no contact between relatives and friends every year. Husband and wife often sit at home and rarely go out to see. People say blood is thicker than water! There are three daughters also because of the gift money, and the family relationship is cold.

Facts are stranger than novels.

A friend is really powerless to spit. Let's just call him Brother Kou for the time being.

The first thing was that during the summer vacation of college, Brother Kou was very nice and invited us to eat crayfish. A group of four people * * * ordered 3 Jin of crayfish and drank a case of beer. I couldn't remember what beer to drink at that time. Anyway, a case of more than 90 was settled, and since then, Brother Kou has had a hard time with this case of beer. Every time we get together, we always say that he spent 90 yuan on a case of beer.

The second thing, during the Chinese New Year, I opened a room in a hotel and three buddies wanted to sleep. As a result, Brother Kou found out and insisted on coming to play, bringing his girlfriend, brother, girlfriend's sister and girlfriend's best friend. Well, there is no place to sleep. Some men play cards and some women sleep. In the middle of the night, several women said they wanted to eat supper. We had dinner, so we didn't go down. Brother Kou made a phone call and asked if we would eat beef skewers. I said yes, and he brought it to us. Nima, a * * * brought three strings! One person and one string! ! ! Forget it. After playing cards all night, everyone smoked. My two packs of cigarettes are gone, and so are my brother's two packs of cigarettes. Everyone thought that Brother Kou and his brother didn't bring cigarettes, so they didn't say they would smoke us. In the morning, everyone ran out of cigarettes. Brother Kou took out a pack of unopened cigarettes from his pocket. After unpacking, there was not one left! ! !

The third thing, when I was in college, I, a brother and Brother Kou stayed up all night in the Internet cafe. It's 1 1. I'm hungry, because everyone knows that Brother Kou is more expensive, so I'm going to Doby and ask him to treat me to instant noodles. Surprisingly, Brother Kou agreed and bought drinks. I was really surprised at that time. Coming out of the Internet cafe the next day, I asked Brother Kou why he was so angry last night. Brother Kou said yesterday was his birthday, so it's a treat! ! !

There are too many things about Brother Kou. Sometimes it's really speechless. I have no contact with him since I graduated from college. I really don't think I know. How stingy!

There are many stingy people in my life, but my neighbor Lao Huang is the least stingy.

Lao Huang is 5 1 year old this year. Both husband and wife are civil servants, and only one son is a graduate student in other places. Supposedly, Mr. and Mrs. Huang should be rich people who don't worry about food and clothing, but what he did doesn't match his status.

I went to the supermarket with him to buy eggs. The price of eggs has risen sharply recently. 5.8 yuan weighs a kilo, but he thinks it's too expensive. Look at the treatment next to him There is a plastic basin filled with shelled egg yolk and egg white at 30 cents each. There are only ten yolks in it. He dragged a plastic bag and poured all the scattered eggs in. I told him it was cheap, but it didn't feel very hygienic. He cocked his head and said it was all the same, and he didn't delay making scrambled eggs with tomatoes. When we walked to the door, her daughter-in-law was a little worried when she saw her face and was scolded by Lao Huang.

I also found him stealing pure water from the company. Not far from his unit, Lao Huang goes out on his beloved "28-pole" bicycle at 6 o'clock every morning, with a pure bucket behind him, and will come back soon. He lifted the bucket and carried it upstairs. When he met me, he even smiled shyly and said that he was exercising.

Going to the vegetable market to buy food, it is kannika nimtragol and the old lady who bargain with the vegetable vendor. Lao Huang, a big man, stood in front of the booth and had a red face with the stall owner because of the dispute of fifty cents. The stall owner's words were bad and he was beaten. I really want to pay for his food when I'm standing by. The stall owner finally gave in, and Lao Huang showed a smug smile and turned his face and said that we won.

Lao Huang piled cartons in the hallway of the basement, went out to pick them up when he was free, and once fought with a scavenger for a small carton. The property has been to his house several times, saying that it is easy to catch fire, and then it is not worth the loss, so let him clean it up quickly. He tilted his head again, and it didn't affect anyone. I have to save enough cartons to sell. Property depends on his age, regardless of him. It just posts a notice at the door of our unit every month to clean it up within a time limit. Everyone shook their heads.

He went to see the children in other places and was reluctant to take the high-speed train. He always squeezes a green leather car, and sometimes he can sit in a hard seat for more than 30 hours. The children were very angry with him because of this, and even said that he would not be allowed to see them again. He always smiles with his hands.

Lao Huang is a good man. When chatting, he showed from time to time that he had saved a lot of money, but he just couldn't change this thread-tying problem. He said it was probably a fetal belt. His hobby is watching the money in the passbook go up. Before I said, I guess you put all your money on the bed and counted it one by one. He burst out laughing. His daughter-in-law also defended him. My old Huang didn't lock the door, but he was still alive, which made everyone burst into laughter.

The most stingy regardless of age and sex is related to personality and living habits. Share a few practical examples.

1? Plastic bag daren

Since plastic bags were charged, many people began to pull up the bags of bulk food, so that they could take things in their hands and go home as garbage bags.

2? Baked vegetables daren

Whether it is winter bamboo shoots, vegetables or corn, it is most cost-effective to peel off the old leaves as much as possible.

3? Discounted talents

There will be a discount when the supermarket is limited, such as a 20% discount after eight o'clock. Weigh all the dishes in advance and wait for the bill as soon as you get to the cashier.

I have also seen an old man carefully tear off the self-adhesive price tag weighed separately and replace it with a similar cheap price tag, which felt too much.

1? People with low travel expenses

It is always said on the internet that the low tour fee is a lie to everyone. I know an elder sister who always chooses to go to the shopping shop with low tour fee, but she refuses to buy it. No matter what the tour guide said, she was unmoved and shared with me that "some people in the group will buy it, but swearing at home will not lose meat."

2? Self help talent

Try to eat as much as possible in the buffet. For example, don't eat Portunus when there are Alaska snow crabs, don't eat prawns when there are new prawns with knives, and eat a lot of meatballs when there are Haagen-Dazs. One result is that the whole plate of prawns can't be eaten, so it is secretly wrapped in paper towels and taken away in bags for supper. The other is cold and hot overeating and gastrointestinal discomfort.

3? Instant noodles daren

Because I want to save money, I always bring many kinds of instant noodles to eat in my room. For better nutrition, I usually bring pickled mustard tuber and braised eggs.

Once I went to new york, I saw a police dog smell all the instant noodles, braised eggs and beef jerky of a China tourist and had to throw them away.

1? Local talents

Some people put coke bottles in the toilet tank at home, some people put small faucets, some people put buckets on the sink to catch dirty water to flush the toilet, and some people ask that rice washing water should not be used to wash vegetables.

Frankly speaking, apart from the national water fee, I think it is quite environmentally friendly, but I am too lazy to do so many things.

2? Great promotion of talents

Holidays such as Singles' Day include all household items at one time.

This is not a simple choice of things to put in the shopping cart, including choosing brands with the right size, accurately calculating the unit price, and making the best choice according to the ever-changing and challenging IQ improvement plan.

I can't do this carelessly, but according to the accurate analysis made by my best friend as soon as he mastered it, I spend at least 30% more money every year.

3? Second hand talents

Very good at finding second-hand resources in friends circle and finding treasures on second-hand websites.

After a friend gave birth to a child, all the clothes, toys, teaching AIDS, cribs and strollers cost nothing. Actually, it's quite environmentally friendly. Just pay attention to hygiene.

There is also a talent who is good at finding second-hand cameras. He found many good things with very little money and admired him very much.

Being stingy is actually quite good, as long as it doesn't affect others.

Like to pay attention.

I remember when I was doing business in Xinyu City, I met a person who was a small supervisor of the Health Department and had a little business relationship with our catering staff. He is the most critical person I have ever met in my life. People say that small pickpockets are for themselves and big pickpockets are for others. I have played with him for half a year, and I have never seen him spend money abroad.

Let me give you a few small examples: once, when we went to play, everyone was thirsty and happened to see a bean jelly stall. Everyone sat down and drank iced bean jelly. After drinking, a friend of mine was going to pay the bill and took out a 50 yuan bill. He grabbed it and said he would help buy it. The boss said that if he received 30 yuan, he would refund 20 yuan. He stuffed it into his pocket and said to his friend who paid for it, consider it as if you invited me to breakfast tomorrow.

It's nothing. Another time, we played together. I finished smoking and went to buy cigarettes. He also went with me. I bought a pack of cigarettes and he hitchhiked to buy a big pack of snacks, saying it was for his daughter, which was several times more than my cigarettes. Then I went for a drink and everyone agreed. He insisted that everyone didn't drink enough, so he opened another bottle and added a little to everyone. The rest of the 782 was naturally brought back by him on the grounds of not wasting. Everyone said behind his back that when a rooster walked past him, he could pull out an egg (testicles). Later I heard that he had two suites and a facade.

The most stingy person I have ever met is Mr. Shen, who is worth10 billion in Shanghai-he owns the largest school in Shanghai and has been running it for 15 years, with only 40 students.

How far did he dig? After listening to me, you will know how great he is.

Boss Shen's villa covers an area of 4000 square meters in Shanghai. Can you imagine? How luxurious is it?

He owns a school with a land value of 3.6 billion yuan.

Let's talk about his meanness!

This is the real Grandet!

This is the meanest thing I have ever seen. Our little guy's choice can't be compared with his rich and heartless.

This is the reason for being rich!

My husband, I went shopping for the first time after falling in love with him. I bought Shiseido eye cream for more than 200 yuan. He said you can't spend so much money. My mother and my sister will never buy these in their lives. After marriage, sure enough, he is definitely a bowl of water. I only spend more on my mother-in-law than mine. But my mother-in-law and two daughters buy things for her. I ... I have my own money. After getting married, I asked him for money, but I couldn't get it. If you want more, he says you can't afford beans. Are you still qualified to use them? He said, penny. Don't you get paid for this few hundred dollars?

His standard of spending money is fucking spending money. His mother loves traveling, which costs tens of thousands of dollars every year, and he doesn't feel extravagant. My mother-in-law needs thousands of supplements every month. My husband said that I would eat whatever my mother-in-law ate, and he allowed it, which is correct. But the old people don't spend much money on makeup clothes. As long as I spend it, he thinks I'm wasting it.

There is such a person, say it to see if he is picking. Four people working in a group play poker at noon, order 20 yuan in 2.4.6.8 to buy food, and make lunch with steamed bread at work. The person with 6 yuan said that the average person has 5 yuan, and I won't eat lunch if I give you 1 yuan. How can this man do this?

The meanest person I have ever met is myself. I am 43 years old. 15 years old came out to work. There have been several times before when there was no money to starve. May have cast a shadow over this. Until now, I have been living a frugal life. To what extent? Even my mother can't watch it anymore. More than half of my clothes are over 10 years old. Only one or two are relatively new, and I will wear them when I go out with my wife.

I just took this photo. This thermal underwear has been worn for more than ten years, and the cuffs are all ground like this. It's not that the poor can't afford it, but they never spend what they can now.

But I will never save my wife and children. Children's toys can fill a room, and I never care about my wife buying clothes, but my wife is also influenced by me all the year round, and now she is quite economical. We seldom go to restaurants. We learn to cook all our favorite dishes, such as sweet and sour pork tenderloin, kung pao chicken and boiled fish. We cook a lot. Last month, we ordered 1 takeout in life outside.

I steam my own steamed bread at home. I won't list the savings in other details of life. Anyway, my sister often scolds me, which is why you leave so much money. I have always had a very strong sense of crisis. Prepare at least two servings of grain, oil and rice noodles at home. Until now, I often dream that I am hungry. So there is no spoiled food in my house, and I never throw it away. When we first got married, we rented the cheapest house in a village without windows. Live a few years. Save money, pay in one lump sum, buy a house.

We live frugally, but never take advantage of others. I have never hacked anyone's goods for a penny, and I have never paid anyone a penny less. No matter how much we earn, our family's living expenses in Shijiazhuang basically don't exceed three or four thousand a month.

Later, I bought a second-hand car and drove my family out to travel. Even if you travel for a month, it will cost three or four thousand yuan, which is similar to that at home. After years of thrift, I have some savings, so I retire early now, and there is no pressure to travel all over the country. In our own words, it is to accumulate the previous 20 years' holidays to the present and give ourselves a common holiday. We live frugally, but we live a full and happy life.

Personal lifestyles are different. For many years, our way of life was not understood by people around us, thinking that we lived too hard. We just want to struggle while we are young and enjoy life as we do now.
