Picture this: Mr. Money sits down, ready to get a haircut from his talented frugal wife (me), and out comes the camera.

“…what are you doing with that?!” He asks.

“I want to take a picture of you, honey.” I reply.

“Why?! You aren’t going to bl… you’re going to blog about this, aren’t you?”

“Do you really think that I would- ok, yeah.  I am going to blog about it and I need a before and after picture.”

[blank stare from Mr. Money]

Without further ado, I present to you, my husband, victim recipient of a $0 haircut, done by me!

Here’s what he looked like before, rocking the skater/punk/too long hair:

And here’s what he looked like after:

I’ve been cutting his hair for a few years now, and I’m pretty proud at how good I’ve gotten.  I can only imagine how much money we’ve saved on haircuts over the years!

What’s your preferred method of haircut: at home or by a professional?

I was thinking the other day about the many different terms there are for being frugal. I was trying to distinguish between the nice ones and the not so nice ones. Here’s the list I came up with:

Nice

-Frugal
-Thrifty
-Conscientious
-Economical
-Preserving
-Prudent
-Bargain Shopper
-Frugalite

Not so nice

-Cheapskate
-Tightwad
-Stingy
-Tight
-Cheap
-Miser
-Money grubber
-Scrooge
-Penny-pincher

What are some frugal terms that I may have missed? Have you been called any of these?
