There is one guy who brands himself as an ultimate cheapskate. I think that is very cool. If he has the courage to go on TV to tell the world that he is an ultimate cheapskate, that means he has many ways to live happily without spending much money. I think nationally there should be a competition to find out the ultimate cheapskate. It will teach all of us the way to live a happy life without spending much.
