These guys are very confortable - ones a merchant banker and ones a head teacher at a school with 1000+ students - but they have always been MEGA tight.

Im getting a bit sick of it.... They are nice people otherwise, but I just cant get over this money thing - how do you deal with that?

Is it like BO, where the best thing a friend can do is tell the other person they stink?

Next time they come over, offer them up some Boone's Farm or some other fine vintage from a cardboard box. Best served in your finest paper cups or paper bag.

Hell I'm a cheap bastard, but when I go to a friend's, I wouldn't take some rotgut swill that's only good for stripping paint or washing automotive parts.
