RE: Random Spiel, The Cost of Growing Old Alone

It is possible to be stubborn and willful without being resentful, miserly without being avaricious. Not all curmudgeons are bad people, and I consider myself a curmudgeon in all the right ways.

Saying, “yes” or “no” accurately, takes practice.

Rather than stubborn I consider myself persistent. Rather than miserly I consider myself frugal. It is how we approach these traits that determines whether they are beneficial or detrimental. We all learn by doing, but the most wise among us can learn from what others have done.
