According to dictionary.com the word tightwad loosely defined is stingy.  The definition of cheapskate is actually, again, stingy.  The word stingy defined is Tamara Parry.  As a 23 year old college graduate and young married person I understand what it means to be stingy.  For example, being given the opportunity to receive any pizza, any size for the same price does nothing but complicate things in my world.  Here's why; I love thin crust pizza.  However, hand tossed or pan crust fills my belly up faster.  Therefore, being the definition of stingy, it is my duty to buy the hand tossed or pan crust pizza for the sake of filling up on the pizza faster and saving some for later, thus saving money!  You see it is all about how many meals you can get out of the deal.  I would love to be given the opportunity to team up with Vantage Credit Union and help the St. Louis 25 and under crowd learn how to get more meals.  I believe with the right tools and guidance I could provide a great voice for making smart financial decisions. 

In today's economy everything is tough.  Finding a job is tough therefore making the ability to pay for school tough.  Then once school is out and you have this beautiful degree, landing a job within your field is tough because once again it is tough to find any job at all.  I have experienced every single one of these situations and I am here to tell you that you simply have to press on.  Land yourself a job, save some money and begin finding a path to your career.  In the meantime, count on me to help you get as many meals out of the deal as you can.  Tip number one: you must always choose hand tossed!
