5.3 Billion how many of you are guilty

Jeez! You're as tight as me.

I used to regularly by tour t-shirts for concerts I went to along with regularly buying other new clothes. Then one day I realised that I had more clothes than I could use in 3 lifetimes. So now I don't buy any, I'm just working my way through the clothes I have - some never worn.

As for long lasting electrical goods, I still use the Sony Digicube clock radio my father bought me for Xmas 1981. It's been plugged in and in continuous use now for 43 years. Still keeps perfect time. Don't make them like they used to.

Us Fifer's are known for being tight but jokes aside, I don't really look on it that way. If something needs bought, I buy it. If it doesn't, I don't.

I'm careful with my money, not tight ... at least that's what I tell myself

I’m behind you on that but not by much!

Yes, different variation on the same theme. I think they still look quite modern. This one is the same as mine.

I had the Nokia 6310a for 21 years (3 new batteries in that time) before I replaced it last November - still not sure I've done the right thing. Bought an iPhone 14 to replace it, no replaceable battery, larger, difficult to know which pocket to put it in - on the whole I regret the change but then although the 6310 is 'Tri-Band' it's G2 only...
