What Do You Mean By Being "stingy"

The Story

At different times in my life, people have defined me as both a waster and a stingy one. I thought so, too. When I was a kid, I used to get mad at my grandmother for being squeamish, but when I think about it now, the woman with a teacher's pension, she can't survive otherwise. Bulgarian pensioners are a hero that they survive with these incomes and we have no right to reproach them. The student roommate told him he was stingy, but I don't really know what money his family had or how hard it was to support him. In reality, the concept is almost meaningless. A person has a certain amount of money. He can do certain things with her - put it in the bank, which gives him certainty, invest it for future profitability, go on holiday, which will bring him emotions, buy clothes to improve his vision. And which of these things is more valuable? Well... different for different people. And just because a man has chosen to set aside a euro instead of going to a disco doesn't make him any worse. Nor if he drinks everything, and then a week is on a bath - well, it was important for him to feel a bartender tonight. I make good money, for example. But I have judged that it is important for me to invest in a start-up business and live modestly - I do not go on holidays abroad, I buy clothes at normal prices, do not go to expensive restaurants, share rent with friends. Some people think I'm stingy, but while I'm uncomfortable, I've accepted it. It's just that for me this project is important, I believe in it, and I don't think anyone has the right to sue me. I'm also going to share what kind of sting, in what situation I would feel bad about. Like going to a bar with my girlfriend, having a beer all night for lack of funds, and I'm going to beat branded whiskey. This is ugly, and I'm going to feel bad. In a similar situation, if I decide that I can pay the bill for two, I will take her to a bar, if not - we will go for a walk or home. There's nothing wrong with that. Also to go on holiday without her - well, I'd rather skip and wait a year to pay for both of them (if she can't). Or we're not going. I wonder what examples you have seen, what kind of people you think are stingy, and have you felt so, have you been reproached?
