Stinginess

Normally my posts have nothing to do with current trends, they only include what I have found. However, for once I have a word that could be used in this current climate of post recession life

Parsimony

This is, as the title may have suggested, extreme frugality. Thus, you could say that 'the recession has made parsimonious individuals of all of us'. Or, 'because Dave is short on cash he spends his money parsimoniously'.

Not much more need be said on this, so I shall be parsimonious with my words and sign off here.
