Are You a Frugal Mooch?: Mooching Off Friends Is Not a Valid Savings Strategy

Sometimes, the quest for frugality can drive us to do ugly things. One of those things is mooching.

You probably know some mooches in your life. I know I do! In every social group, there’s That One Guy who comes to every party, eats and drinks as though he’s storing up for a long winter’s hibernation, and never offers to bring anything or chip in. He begs rides and never offers gas money. If you do him a favor, you’re extremely unlikely to be thanked with a kind word, a gift, or a return favor in the future.

On the other hand, in the rare instances where That One Guy actually orders a pizza for the group, out comes the calculator. He’ll send you a dead-serious Venmo request for $2.40 for your 1/8 of the pie. And no, he did NOT forget to factor in the tip, sales tax, or delivery fee.

the thing abt being parentified is that you have been being an adult for so long that by the time you're an actual adult you're just so fucking tired of it but you can't stop

Ask the Bitches: How Do I Say “No” When a Loved One Asks for Money… Again?

In an ideal world, we’d have proper social safety nets preventing children from living in poverty and responsible environmental policies stemming the tide of climate change people would give “no” the respect it deserves. They wouldn’t press for further explanation. Yet we don’t live in an ideal world.

Instead, we live in a world where far too many assholes view “no” as an invitation to debate. Wheedling, cajoling, wearing down, convincing, negotiating, guilting, manipulating, or intimidating someone out of their perfectly valid “no” is a dick move. In some cases, it can even be abusive, violent, or illegal. At the very least, it causes unnecessary heartache and mental anguish.

Me bidding farewell to my long-distance best friend/OTL once the cheap American remake of The Troubles starts (I didn't make it out of the country in time because I'm a financially illiterate bum)

I think part of why I love Chilchuk is because he is just so solidly a blue collar dude.

He got screwed over once and decided to form an entire ass labor union about it

Puts a firm value on his labor

Instinctually accepts that someone else leaving the party to take care of their finances isn’t a betrayal because the job isn’t your friendship

He is incredibly particular about his craftsmanship

And also his tools

Doesn’t like to mix work and his personal life

Cagey about how old he is because he’s in an industry we’re aging can be a liability

Warms up to Senshi once he starts seeing him as a fellow skilled tradesman

His dad drank himself to death and he still drinks heavily himself

“What? You can’t get drunk on this, it’s not strong enough.”

Fucked up his marriage because he spent too much time at work and was bad at emotional availability

Knows how to braid hair because he did it for his daughters

Has a daughter who is just mini him (and she’s the one who wears her hair in braids, my heart 🥺)

He’d fit right in with my father and my uncles and my coworkers, and I love that so much. Just a working class guy who’s in it because it’s his job and he took the money, so he’s gonna follow through.
