to be tight with money
- Contexto
- That is how I learned to be a good money manager. Big Mama talked incessantly about saving, spending wisely and staying out of debt.
I watched her manage on so little and still pay all her bills on time. Big Mama was so tight with her money that if she held a penny, Lincoln would scream.
Hands down, this woman taught me more about money management than any financial expert I have ever met or interviewed.
