One problem, he was so damn cheap. I mean really cheap. Like split the cabfare back to the hotel cheap. Its just in some people's nature. More likely than not, he grew up very poor and squeezes ever penny until "abe" screams.

I don't consider that a flaw, just a reflex. I was dirt poor in college. I'm talking eating Ramen noodles and generic Spaghettios every day. Now that I have money, I find myself still picking up the generic stuff at grocery stores and looking for deals.
It's weird though. I'm as loose with my money as anyone when it comes to electronics and so forth. But I'll go out of my way to save $0.30 at a grocery store on a box of cereal.
