Was attending a Con and decided to save money by staying at a motel a mile away instead of at the hotel the was at. Turns out the motel was on the other side of a 6 lane highway that had no pedestrian crosswalks (I don’t drive) Ended up having to sprint across said highway like a lunatic in order to get there and back.

Elderly man in hospital bed, appearing thoughtful, wearing a blue gown, possibly reflecting on frugality decisions. >He continued to be frugal and work until he couldnt so that his wife and 2 kids would live good lives.

then

>I don’t know the details, but I heard that his wife ended up remarrying her personal trainer not long after. I’m sure they are enjoying his hard earned money, basically none of which he enjoyed.

And *I’m* pretty sure they are using his hard earned money to raise the children he left behind. Jesus, what would you have her do? Remain single and depressed forever? NOT spend the money he left her? Did you give a single thought to what it must be like for a wife to watch her husband, the father of her two children slowly die over 3 years?

I once moved out to Oregon to get away from Tennessee. I lived with my brother for a few months before I had realized I made a terrible mistake. So all the flights back were quite a bit more expensive than a bus ticket. So I get on a greyhound for four days. The difference I saved from riding the bus I ended up spending on food.

While the bus ride was hell, looking back I did enjoy it!
