My brother had been a cheapskate from the time he found out how to spend cash.
He would buy candy plus hide it away so the rest of us could not find it.
If we purchased candy, we had to share with him or he would tell our mom, however he never willingly shared his stash. Twenty years later, he was still cheap, plus would use someone else’s stuff before using his. He had no one to use when he had to buy a new heating plus air conditioning system. He asked my hubby, who is an actual heating plus air conditioning specialist, what his opinion would be for a new heating plus air conditioning system. My hubby told him about more than 2 enjoyable heating plus air conditioning systems that were genuinely efficient. When John then started giving him quotes on the price, my brother asked if he could not reduce the price by 50%. He was sure my hubby could get it cheaper if he said the heating plus air conditioning system was for us, and John actually told him he would not do that. Two weeks later, my brother called plus asked my hubby if he would install his new heating plus air conditioning system for him. I tried to talk John into charging him to do the installation, however he said my brother was family plus refused to charge him. When John got to the house, he almost cried. My brother then purchased the cheapest heating plus air conditioning system available, plus it wasn’t even strong enough to keep his condo sizzling or cooled. John almost refused to install the heating plus air conditioning system, knowing my brother would blame him the first time something went wrong with the boiler or the air conditioner unit.
