We have gone deep into the oily rag psyche and discovered six thrifty personality types. Which one best describes your oily rag habits? You may display more than one personality type – that is not unusual and not a cause for alarm. Select the one that is most dominant deep within your oily rag psyche.
The traditional oily ragger
This oily ragger personality comes from a long-line of penny pinchers. They may well originate from England (Yorkshire in particular). They can been seen ferriting around the bargain bins, saying “eh, by, gum, lad, ain’t thart expensive”. These people have the most primal oily rag instincts.
The nouveau oily ragger
A new breed of oily ragger. This oily ragger is more likely to be receptive to new technology such as electric cake mixers and is more likely to have an electric blanket than a hot water bottle. Although they are prone to such excesses, they are kindly disposed to the oily rag lifestyle. This type of oily ragger typically inhabits city suburbs and grow lettuce in terracotta pots that sit on the patio.
The Scrooge McDuck oily ragger
This is the type of oily ragger you read about in the newspapers. They are thought to be quite miserly and miserable sorts, but such a harsh opinion is often given to them unfairly. Deep down (very deep down) the Scrouge McDuck oily ragger is a kindly person, perhaps a little insecure socially it might be said, but seriously concerned about financial security in their golden years.

The blokes keep washers and nuts, while those of the feminine gender keep buttons and bobs.
The making ends meet oily ragger
Typically those on a tight budget. “Ask not what you can do for your dollar, ask what a dollar can do for you”, they will be often heard to say. Often just starting out on lifes little journey, or restarting out on lifes little journey.
