I am a very economical person that some would usually take as stingy.  I think twice (sometimes even more!) before spending on something, especially expensive ones.  My definition of expensive is when I believe the amount that I am paying for is not worth of what I am buying.  If I can have the same quality for a cheaper price, the better!  That's why I never bought impulsively, something that may be a bit unbelievable for a woman.

I booked my sister a one way flight from here to home.  Fare rules come after the confirmation page of your booking, that is, after your payment.  I was disappointed when I read from the fare rule page that YES, limited changes can be made to your booking, such as passenger name change!  Ok, that should be good news, right?  Then why am I disappointed?

Because, few days ago, the supposed temporary caregiver of my daughter was denied exit by an immigration officer back home.  She missed her flight, and her ticket is non-refundable.  Hubby said he called the customer service from her supposed to be carrier but was told that passenger name change is not allowed.  On top of that, after knowing too late that we could have just changed the passenger name instead of booking a new one for my sister, hubby just shrug his shoulders and told me, "it's just money, we will earn it in the future".  I took it not as a consolation but as an insult added to the injury.

Obviously, hubby and I have very different values when it comes to money; his is to spend it while mine is to save it.
