Frugality quiz

Here is a six-question quiz about how frugal you are from the blogger Blunt Money. I took it and am told I make frugality into an art form!

"You know where to get the best deals on absolutely everything -- and that means high-quality, long-lasting stuff. But you only bring home the things you really need or want, and are careful with the things you already have."

The only question I got wrong was how old you should start giving an allowance to your child. The options were 3, 8, or 16. I won't give away the correct answer, but it shocked me.

Overall the quiz was too short to accurately reflect my cheapness. Good intentions allowed me to create a more frugal picture of myself than history reveals.

A telling question would have been how many times have you reneged on a spending promise in the past month? I had lunch with colleagues today that was a $13 slip up. Oh vey!
