Not As Cheap As Other People
But you might have guessed that already as a regular reader.
Via Escape Brooklyn, it’s official. I scored a 17 on the Time Out New York quiz.
I took this quiz about being cheap at timeoutnewyork.com/livecheap, and my cheapness quotient rated as 17.
Here’s what they said:
Finally! A sane person. You’re careful with your money, but never cheap. You know that what goes around comes around and that a thank-you goes a long way.
Try the quiz and let me know how you score:

16 for me. I need a good mattress. Those IKEA mattresses suck.

I scored 20 - careful but not cheap. I gave my friend $20 after she lost her purse, wallet, camera and ipod dancing at a tourist bar in NOLA. And I tossed in a few extra dollars for my friends parking ticket in NOLA and for a friend’s bday dessert.

I scored a 13. I needed to live up to my name somewhat. The blurb is mostly on target.
You steal cable from your neighbor and buy day-old bagels, but you’re not as bad as you look. Like Luther from Coach, you’ll spring if you really have to. You just hope that never happens
