I think they are grouping people with a host of different issues under the same umbrella. For example, the scientist seems to just oppose urban living. The mole-stroker was just creepy, and many of the others were pathological in one sense or another. This show could have been much better researched.
This lady in the beginning of this part reminds me of my friend, who has taught me some tightwad ways. the best part of all, I married a tightwad and we watch our pennies together. we even share tips so we all learn from each other.
First of all, while I am quite conservative with my money, I have no time to sit and unroll wet toilet paper. Also, if I was 105 years old I doubt I'd save my bathwater to take a piss, but that's only my opinion.
The more I watch these extreme tightwads the more I realize that they have a form of mental illness called OCD. Obsessive and compulsive. Without a doubt. And I wonder who put braces on that dude's teeth? I'm quite certain he's not the one footing the bill.
I forgot where I heard this, but isn't taking joy in killing small animals the first sign of a serial killer... that boy sure did look happy with his dead "soft" moles..
@arsdag81: No, it is not the first sign of a serial killer. There are many children who kill rodents, but never grow up to be a serial killer. Moles are pests. He traps them and gets rid of the pest. So what if he keeps them in the freezer.
I hope to god my husband never sees this program. LOL~He's not that bad but we have saved alot of money during his deployment while our friends have little to nothing saved. We bought a house-they have debt.
Reminds me a little of Creature Comforts, with the dual shots and the voices. If you close your eyes you can picture clay animated animals doing the lines.
Oh my GOD there's no way I could live with a man so controlling as that one dude... She's never made a decision in 25 years? That makes me ill just thinking about it...
Sorry to be cynical, but maybe she only stays with him now because of his cash, and his will. Btw he the worst tightwad in the show, the others are a likable lot.
Being Frugal is alright as LONG as it DOES NOT go wayyyyyyyyyyy over board... Because just like anything it can easily become detrimental to the individual.. For the longest time, Ive been trying to save as much money as I can to maybe in the future take a trip to EASTERN EUROPE..
Love the documentary! I've known a few wonders in my life, including a friend who spent five years in India and learned to do without toilet paper entirely. When she returned to North America, she was too tight to go back to buying any and learned to live without.... Crissy'd be impressed.

I note that there is no real mention that some of these people actually have money. But all of them have a mental disorder.

These people are awesome. I'm fairy frugal myself. But I want to a FRUGAL TIGHTWAD.

@XChildGoddessX Have you noticed none of them have friends? Do you really want that?
Frugal is smart living, cheapness is a sickness. Being cheap is loving, worshipping money.

That older lady isn't necessarily a tightwad. It seems to me she is a hoarder, which is quite different from a miser.

Good for you. You just hit the nail on the head.
I don't know what to think of someone whowouldn't get married or have kids because they cost money. That really takes it too far.
