8 Signs You're a Little Too Frugal

Jun 19 2016 - 3:00pm

We are all about leading a frugal life [1], but when it gets in the way of daily activities and your relationships, it's gone a little too far. A line has to be drawn on your love of saving money [2]. Find out if you have taken frugality to the next level — it might be time to reign it in!

When you go out, you always want to split the bill exactly, no matter what.

If everyone's meal is close in price, splitting it equally makes it easier on everyone.

You take items like ketchup and sugar packets from restaurants.

Don't constantly worry about hoarding every free thing that's available to you!

When you go to a party or wedding, you always ask if you can take the leftover decorations.

Not only is it not necessary, but it's rude to the wedding party that paid for the items.

When you give someone a gift, you try to get the bag or box that you gave it in back.

The wrapping is a part of the gift too!

You won't go out because you hate spending your money on food and drinks.

It's OK to occasionally go out and treat yourself — it doesn't even have to be a splurge!

You have taken toilet paper from a public restroom.

Not cool.

You won't let your roommates turn on the heater or air conditioning.

Don't cause your housemates discomfort!

You are a bad tipper.

Tipping [3] less than 15 percent is considered rude.
