It's the other way round with me. I'm playing catch up and paying for a lot of our holidays and trips away.Funnily enough, I have always been the main wage earner, through circumstances and necessity. My wife is 60 this month so her occupational pensions kick in and associated lump sums pay out.
We're getting our roof replaced next month, and she pipes up, "I'm paying for the roof, you've been paying for everything." Crikey, it's like getting a pay rise!

Spending your day off wandering aimlessly around town with the other half trying to find a 40th birthday present for her friend. She doesn’t know what she wants until she sees it. Yay.

My own fault really
Fitted the new power supply to my desktop PC yesterday.
Turned it on this morning and it would not boot.
New PSU only had one HD power cable so had to use adapters and I cocked up the HD order.

Inexplicably tight people.
Last Sunday we went to the driving range with two friends (another couple). They paid (the female specifically), and on the way out I asked her how much it was so I could send half and she said "don't worry about it". Fair play, we'll get it next time I guess, all is fine.
But the male messaged us the next day 'reminding' us to pay it. I told him she had said not worry and he said "oh she said you forgot".
Hmm, ok then.
Today, five days later, he messaged my wife asking for it again. I mean it's 8 bloody quid? I don't even know if his partner knows he is asking for it. Like he can't accept his partner didn't ask for £8? Do me a favour. He's not short of money either, he has a very well paid job. Tightest man alive I swear.

You haven’t met my regular playing partner!
Retired Chief Inspector, had more money in the bank than he needed BEFORE he drew his pension. At a conservative estimate he’s now sitting on the best part of £400k in the bank.
Whenever we went on long trips I used to drive. He never offered to contribute to the cost, and is noted by everyone for never going to the bar. In short, he never spends a penny. In the police his nickname was Crime - as in crime doesn’t pay. He never twigged.
I stopped sharing lifts and rooming with him some time ago because of how unbelievably tight he is.

If you don't know anything about your luggage other than a vague recollection of the colour, you have no business standing at the luggage carousel randomly picking up bags that aren't yours

We have a guy like that in our winter group - every pound is a prisoner with him. To make it worse, he like to tell us how much money he has got in property and investments.Inexplicably tight people.

One of our mates is seriously tight. He often dodges his round, doesn’t contribute to taxis etc. If we go out for food where you pay for your own he orders the cheapest thing. If we’re splitting the bill, he orders the most expensive thing. If he drives somewhere he is itching to tell you how much fuel you owe - before you have time to offer. Not a peep out of him if someone else drives. That type of thing. It used to annoy me.
However, as we’re out pretty regularly for the football, we’ve turned it into a game. It’s pretty easy to engineer a situation where he has to buy a drink at the stadium where it’s fairly expensive.
First few times he spent an amazingly long time in the loo expecting someone else to have gone to the bar. No one had. Next game it was he had an appointment the next day so didn’t fancy a pint at half time. Didn’t wash. After that, it sunk in. His attempts to break his neck to get one of the first pints in where it’s marginally cheaper is a joy to behold.

If it is him asking for the money, I would send it but then let her know you have sent it. Is it just him moaning about the money behind her back or not. Either way am sure I wouldn’t go to the range with them again.Inexplicably tight people.
