Am I a cheapskate for only buying and shopping when things are on sale?

I don't buy just because they are on sale. I wait until what I want is on sale. I just think some things are ridiculously priced, am I a cheapskate for being the way I am?

Nope, I don't. But also build wealth for the long run. Saving is just a means. If you save 10% per annum in a good equity fund, you will be able to retire in 20 to 22 years with an inflation adjusted income equal to your current salary. So save!

Well I guess I am a cheapskate too. Because wait till what I want to go on sale before I buy it.I hate paying full price for things. I feel that they are over priced to begin with.
