Hey Bing, I’m sorry if you’re misunderstanding me.

You can spend $15,000 on your car and still be cheap. (I’m not saying that you’re cheap)

Bah. Next time I’ll put stuff into simpler terms due to all this misunderstanding.

I better put an example here right now:

Say you go to a bar with a few friends and they are all “rich” (they make good income with no bills to pay). And when the total bill comes… they are like “uh… here’s $5 to cover my bill… when they bought like a few beers.”

Just because you make $100,000 a year and spend a lot of money on stuff doesn’t mean that you aren’t cheap.  
You see what I’m trying to say?
