Spendthrift-Skinflint

Spendthrift...Skinflint

                              spendthrift
                       extravagant, wasteful
                  buying, shopping, squandering
               presents, parcels, deposits, interest, 
                    counting, banking, hoarding
                            tightfisted, miserly
                                    skinflint

Great one..Reads like a winner to me..Very excellent choice of words..That having to look up so many words and making sure that they are the part of speech needed is not an easy task..I am glad that I chose this one to read this afternoon..Sara
