"I don't mind spending money, but I do mind wasting it."

That was the credo in my house as a kid. Still is. I remember thinking how foolish my parents were for buying me barrels of Disney goods, but now I see the method to their money madness. As cool as it would be to have my own Ms. Pacman set up in my new apartment, I should probably buy some basic silverware first.The line between being monetarily modest and miserably miserly can often be hard to draw.

Moolanomy has a short quiz to help you gauge where you are on the spendrum. I got a 30, putting me in the "You're frugal. Good job!" range. Phew.I can put those fears of growing up into a Scrooge McDuck at rest...for now.
