What's Your Definition Of The Word "Stingy"? by TheUpsetGirl1(m): 8:07pm On Apr 09, 2018
what's your definition of stingy??

to me a stingy person is the one who you spend on, help in time of his/her needs, but doesn't spend on you and doesn't help in your time of needs.

like;
I spend on a guy, help him when he needs help but he doesn't spend on me, give excuses and refuse to help me in times when I'm in need of help.

what's your own definition of stingy? because I've noticed that the word have different meanings to many people.

a stingy person is someone who is careful with money, who knows the value of money, and most importantly, how hard it is to make money (thus they dont squander it on BS).

sadly, the majority of people in Nigeria who call others stingy have absolutely no money to call their own, and are usually the one begging that same "stingy" person for handouts etc (or expect him to spend frivolously on them).

First of all. The comment above by Shugarlord is all kinds of dumb.

Have you met all the girls of Nairaland? (Saying they are all hoes and jobless).

Secondly people can have their opinion on what the definition of stingy is. What I find in my experience is that those who use the word most often are those who don't know the value of money of the struggle of an honest days work.

Though I don't like the Op, I will try to answer this as detailed as possible.


Let's take this in reverse order:

The "stingy" are those who could spend, but choose not to. They value money more than comfort or approval from others. This could be rooted in a fear of poverty, a lack of self esteem, selfishness or resentment.

The "cheap" are those who do not assess the value of what is spent vs. the benefit derived. They sometimes spend on items that are low in cost, but have no intrinsic value, simply because the item is cheap. They take pleasure from the immediate gratification of owning the item, without considering whether it has quality or enduring utility, or whether the amount spent could yield more if allocated differently.

The "economical" are those who assess the benefit of spending vs the cost. They seek to obtain the best value for, or highest benefit of, their spending. They seek enduring utility or intrinsic value in exchange for their spending.

The "generous" will spend a portion of assets not needed to sustain their needs. They may even sacrifice a measure of their own comfort to relieve a perceived need in others. Sometimes this is an act seeking approval. Sometimes this is a demonstration of power. Sometimes this is performed out of a sense of obligation. Sometimes this is an act of true philanthropy, performed simply because it is possible.

A stingy beech will not allow you to reap the fruits of your labor. She is open to your magnanimity but to reciprocate in cash or kind becomes an issue. Long throat is another name for stingy sad angry

For you to have no regards for women and mothers, you definitely grew up on the streets, probably slept under the bridge... that's the reason you had no proper upbringing, no character, zero class!
I blame the woman who gave birth to you!

Frugal spending or spending wisely should not be misconstrued for being stingy. For me, a stingy fella is one that do not spend on others at all at all and hardly spends for himself. There are a lotta people like that.

Part of the reason why real feminists are having to fight so hard for equality is because of certain individuals.

You think you are helping the cause. You are not.

Find one piece of evidence that I've called any woman on Nairaland a gold digger.

Don't worry Ill wait..

Even earlier in this thread i am actually defending women... so your comment is irrelevant.
