Understanding Tightwads and Spendthrifts
Tightwads find spending to be distressing, often experiencing anxiety about purchases, especially optional ones, leading them to forego buying things they need. In contrast, spendthrifts are more present-oriented, prioritizing immediate gratification over long-term consequences. Despite the belief that tightwads may exhibit better self-control in other areas, research shows no strong relationship indicating better self-control, suggesting tightwadism as a challenge in self-regulation.
