On a scale of 1 to 10, how thrifty are you with money (1 - I don't know the meaning of the word "savings", 10 - I make Scrooge look like a spendthrift)?

Scrooge had a tombstone. I'm donating my body to science so my family doesn't have to spend one red cent to bury me. I win! +5

It isn't my intelliengence level that is affected (which is why employers don't believe me when I've tried to tell them about it). It's my short-term memory loss that has gotten me fired since I was old enough to work. I can't remember simple instructions, or the correct time to do a particular part of the job. I can't tell you how many doctor's appointments I've had to pay for even though I forgot to go :(

There will be something that makes use of your intelligence,your understanding of people that is not tied to time or any schedule. Something that can be done at your own pace. You can communicate well so there will always be a place, you need to find it. It wont be conventional. Think outside the box and keep looking.

I am about a 5 I think because I do save but I believe savings are to be spent when something you want becomes available. I do make sure I have enough left for repairs to house, car etc though.
