My grandparents are about the cheapest people you've ever met. My grandma wouldn't pay for ANYTHING, and used to just sit around all day day dreaming when she doesn't have chores around the house to do. She wouldn't even pay for a radio since she didn't want to waste too much electricity, let alone having a TV.
Now that she's old and senile, most of the money she's saved over the years have been siphoned out by my two uncles, and she's left with pretty much nothing. Pretty sad IMO, to have gone through life being so frugal only to have your sons blow it away. But hey, I guess that's what gave her joy, so who am I do judge I guess.
