STINGINESS

“SPARSAM IST NICHT GEIZIG”, we say in Germany. But what does that mean in english, I hear you already asking.

It means simply that there is a difference between being thrifty and being stingy. But where do you draw the line?

I have learnt that Stinginess and Selfishness is the same and selfish people find it difficult to give things away. I have also learnt that stinginess can appear with  two symptoms that seem to be harmless.

The first symptom is “Thriftiness”.

The second symptom is “Smart planning”.

Is there someone who can shed more light on this subject?
