They should not call him names.
The dollar you did not save, you stole from your grandkids!

When you see a gaggle of them together, it is a safe bet that most of them cut their own hair. The wife trims the back.

A young engineer comes into work one morning and is spotted to have two different colored socks on!!!

Not way off, black and dark blue.
Thereafter he was forced into a sock check most mornings.

He was so proud of his solution, he claimed to have dumped ALL of his socks in the trash and purchased a couple of dozen identical black pairs!
No one believes he actually trashed them, just saves them for weekends.

Even in their early 20’s, they are frugal and know how to do simple things to fix or patch something.

Re the socks, I had a manager, who had all dark blue/semi black socks, the same ties to go with his same sport coats and slacks and shoes. Topped off with the same white oxford dress shirts.
