Least frugal to Most Frugal 

So I had a thought while I'm writing this fic about the party going to an amusement park and my friend and I were chatting about who we thought would be the most frugal of the party. I don't think any of them would particularly bad with money but I think there are some who would spend and some who are a bit more modest.

Least Frugal

Lucas: I think he definitely is the big spender lol. I feel like as they get older, Lucas wants to always be looking fresh and if he doesn't join the Air Force but pursues something in sports for a while, for sure lol. Since I think he would major in History at an HBCU, with maybe a business something minor, he definitely would like to have money and spend money. I don't think he's bad with money, quite the opposite but he likes to spend lol

Dustin: I feel like Dustin would be a little bad with money, I think (since I'd assume they're all good in math), that he would have a budget but doesn't always stick to it. I can see him going into some store and seeing something and being like "omg.. I have to have this" and the others would be like "but you already have 5 of those..." "I don't have 6 though...". Plus, scientists usually are a little bad with money but he's a good talker, so he'll always have grants and stuff to fund whatever he's doing.

El: I feel like El wouldn't be great with money, like a little inconsistent. Once she has it, I feel like she would buy clothes a lot. I think El likes nice/pretty things and buys things that either remind her of moments or people or things that make her feel good in the moment.

Max: I think Max is good with money but will have major impulse buys. When she and El go shopping, she finds a couple of things she likes but be shocked when El comes out with bags. She just a "I don't really need this" kind of person but she will have a good time though. If they're going somewhere to have fun, she could rack up the biggest bill.

Mike: I think Mike is good with money and whenever he's out with El, he'll talk her out of something lavish... unless she breaks him and he agrees that she should get it... or he would get it for her lol. But otherwise, he's the type to be like "my clothes fit... why do I need new ones? My shoes are functional, I don't need new ones". He would be interested in getting the newest technology but since Dustin and/or Lucas would definitely get it, he would wait to see theirs and mess with it before getting it himself. He likes good food though so I think he would spend money for some good food. He also might buy something nerdy but he has to really want it. I think being a kid and having so many toys (for what seemed like years), he doesn't see the need in buying the newest thing right away... unless he really wants it.

Will: I think Will is the most frugal and the best with money because of how he grew up, I think that kind of stuff never leaves you and it can go either way. Being an artist, Will knows he may not make a ton of money so he's smart with his money. He saves religiously and has a budget and if he goes out with his friends, he gets the same things off the menus, because he knows the price AND he's a creature of habit, which he's fine with. He definitely always gets gifts for his friends and family, but he may even more inclined to make something than to buy it. He will spend on art supplies though.

Most Frugal

So anyway lol just something I was thinking about and wanted to share! lol
