&lt;p&gt;1. The quiz is cheap.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. The quiz is frugal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. The computer programmer wasn&amp;#39;t paid enough.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. It doesn&amp;#39;t matter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I fudged a little by giving myself half-point scores where appropriate (e.g., 2.5 on question 3) and ended up with a 25 - not bad, and accurate if I&amp;#39;m honest with myself. &amp;nbsp;As with most things, it&amp;#39;s all about balance and priorities. &amp;nbsp;Splurge where it matters to you (within reason), and save where it doesn&amp;#39;t.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.moneycentral.msn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=82176" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Frugal or just downright cheap: Take the test</title><link>http://blogs.moneycentral.msn.com/smartspending/archive/2008/05/08/frugal-or-just-downright-cheap-take-the-test.aspx#81525</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 May 2008 20:34:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e8f7cd84-7062-45ca-8a00-3f24dfc10bb9:81525</guid><dc:creator>Theresa</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Linked worked.

Buy what you can afford. Keep your old stuff longer till you can save up for something new. Don&amp;#39;t go into debt to have the latest stuff, especially when you have bills to pay or a low income.
