I always thought being miserly was a sign of being mean.

I witnessed an elderly man demanding at a restaurant that he was shortchanged ten cents. The line behind him was getting log and long, so I gave him a dime and asked him to leave. He drove away in a brand new Cadillac. Ever since then I swore to myself that I would never be one of those miserly mean grouches.
I agree . Never let anyone deliberately take advantage but never be a miser. Most of us here can well afford to be generous but some just can’t seem to get into that “loving feeling”
