It feels good to be generous when you’re able, but it’s also completely normal to be reserved about giving away some of your precious resources and keeping some of them for yourself. Still, some people are especially particular about the things they’re willing to spend or give away—patience, time, energy, money, or even their food. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it can go a little too far at times. They may like to describe themselves as frugal, but sometimes they cross the line into being tight-fisted with money!

These zodiac signs are the stingiest:
Virgo
Ultra-analytical Virgo knows the most efficient way to spend money, so if there are any excess expenses they can cut, it’ll go to the chopping board. You’ll never want to suggest splitting the bill evenly with them, as they hate the idea of spending more than what they’ve received. They’re interested in only paying their share and nothing more. Though this can make them seem a little petty, they are certainly generous with their time if it’s dedicated to helping their loved ones out with practical matters!
Capricorn
Practical, hardworking Capricorns are careful of where they spend their money, so they often come off as stingy. Resources are vital to them, and they’re not about to freely lend their money. If you’re asking them to chip in for a gift, they’ll gun for the lowest amount possible or skip it altogether, says Bustle. They’re always on top of debts they owe (though they rarely have them) and are owed. Still, that doesn’t mean they’re never in a giving spirit; they can be very charitable, but only when they can verify that the receiver will be practical with the hard-earned money they’ll be donating.
Taurus
With Venus as its planetary ruler, Tauruses can be incredibly charming, attractive, and magnetic. They tend to be pretty well-liked and often use that to their advantage, such as when people offer to buy them drinks or treat them to delicious meals. This isn’t just because of the attention they’re getting; it’s also because they get to save money while going out and having fun. You’ll soon find out that Tauruses are fairly stingy with their belongings, notes Bustle, given their materialism.
