Am I the only one? Surely not! Who else out there is a tight wad. If you post in the Deal Threads, you are!!!
Here are a few examples of me being cheap.
I have wanted to get my son a power wheels for a while. A friend of ours had a son that had outgrown his probably a year ago. They had it in a garage sell and posted it on facebook but I think they wanted like $150 for it. I have asked a few times over the year if they had found a battery, charger, etc to try and bring it up. Finally the other day she just messaged me back, $60 and come get it. OK, be there in a few.
The 5 acres we just closed on had been for sale since before we listed our house. The land was listed between $67-69K. Can't really remember. Once the house sold we started looking again and noticed it had gone off the market. I did my research and tracked the owner down in Alabama. I ended up getting the property for the same price as land down here that has no access, no electric, no water, etc. Took us a year from the time we saw it, to the time we bought it, but paid 10K less than our neighbor who bought his 2 years ago and prices have skyrocketed around here.
I'm always looking for a deal, and learned from Dave Ramsey everything is negotiable. They guy with the 4 wheeler for sale probably hates reading this....
