So is it a Scrooge or a miser? A Scrooge is a grumpy person, always in a bad mood. A miser is a cheapskate, who doesn't like to spend money.

If scrooge is a niggard, a skinflint, both are correct

Elena, none of those words are in common use anymore. Niggard, for obvious reasons (it sounds like nigger). Skinflint is an old word, I think it means mean. If the person referred to in this post doesn't like to spend money, then he's a cheapskate or a miser.

Ok, Uly, thank you for the explanation!

Anytime, doll

Thank you, sir 🙋
