My mum's what I'd call middle class and as tight as a gnats arse. She'll happily walk half a mile in the pouring rain to save 4p on a tin of baked beans...haggles whenever she gets the chance...in her house lights are off in every room except the one she is in...when I visit it's bloody freezing in the house because she refuses to put on the heating until it's around minus 2 degrees C. And then only to bring the temperature up to +4 degrees :
..and then it's off again!
Trust me she's not poor...just really careful with her money.
Thank God she is!....this is my inheritance we're talking about
She used to have a window cleaner until muggins here took it up...bi-monthly I do them...paid?..yeah right!
Yep the middle class are easily the worst imo.
