I’m just bragging today.
Yesterday I got a nice home decorating magazine from my friend because she had two. She also gave me a small bag of Valentine’s Day M&M’s, which I stuck in my pocket for a chocolate treat today. She has too much chocolate in her house.
I had a business meeting at lunch. The check was paid by my client because he can write it off.
My boss loaned me two books. I gave him Moneyball in exchange.
Friday night at happy hour, someone bought me a beer!
Sometimes I feel like I’m a mooch. I have to wonder what the fine line is between getting something for free and being a mooch. I can’t be the only one who worries about this. When is it crossing the line?
I was thinking again recently about my willingness to save money at last year’s Cape Cod wedding by camping. When the tough get going, the tough get creative right? I wonder how cheap am I willing to get while I am cutting down on my spending. Hard to say.

The other morning someone gave me a chocolate coin and I put it in my pocket for later. That evening I found the forgotten treat melted into my jeans. You be careful out there.
M&M’s!!! Melt in your mouth! Not in your pants!
I think a mooch, expects and asks for. You are not a mooch from what I am reading.
My husband has such a fear of being a mooch, that he can’t even go to a friends for a couple beers without bringing his own. Even when told not too. Add that to the fact that he does not want ANYONE to bring their own to our home, he has to provide.
Oh well, I got luv him now – LOL.
D is right. A mooch expects and has no intention of doing anything for you. They also impose on you, rather than try to make things easier. A mooch would likely get offended if you asked a favor, or for a donation, even when they had the time and means to help you out.
What you were today was fortunate. Totally diff!
Yeah, I won’t say you are a mooch (unless you like the word)
Like Debt Hater says above, you were probably just lucky. Or perhaps you are too pretty too.
(Everyone doesn’t get free beers on Friday night)
I agreed with all the comments. You give them some, they give you some. That’s how the world purpose to work, right?
