花錢很豪邁的說法？
豪邁？衝動？還是精打細算？

你的花錢習慣是什麼呢？Let’s take a look.
A High Roller 豪邁不手軟者
A “High Roller” is someone who spends lots of money carelessly, blowing money fast and recklessly1. The term originated from high stakes2 players who place large bets at the casino. - by YungMon August 23, 2016 on Urban Dictionary （「豪賭客」是指不小心花很多、快速而魯莽地揮霍金錢的人。起源於在賭場下大注的高賭注玩家。）
🗣️ 看例句

He was a high roller until he gambled away his fortune. 在他錢被賭光之前，他是個花錢很豪邁的人。
A Scrooge 小氣自私者
Scrooge is a character who hates spending money but learns how to be generous, in the book "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. - from Cambridge Dictionary （在查爾斯狄更斯的《聖誕頌歌》一書中，Scrooge 是一個討厭花錢，但最終學會如何待人慷慨的角色。）
🗣️ 看例句
Don’t be a Scrooge! It’s the holidays so we should enjoy good food and drink! 別這麼省吧！過節時期我們應該吃好的、喝好的！
My boss is a Scrooge and never approves raises. 我老本是個小氣自私鬼，從來不給人加薪。
💡 補充：如果有看《聖誕頌歌》（A Christmas Carol）這個故事的人可能知道此角色不止小氣，更對聖誕節反感。所以延伸用法也可以形容一個人很掃興、沒有過節氣氛。
A Savvy buyer 精打細算者
A savvy buyer is someone who has a lot of practical4 knowledge about shopping, such as sale dates, coupons and good bargains5. （精明的買家是擁有大量購物實用知識的人，例如促銷日期、優惠券和便宜好貨。）

My uncle is a savvy car buyer. If you are in the market for6 a new car, he is your guy. 我叔叔對於買車相當精明，如果你想買車的話，問他準沒錯。
I am savvy about beauty products so in fact, the salespeople in department stores cannot fool me. 對於美妝產品我很精明，所以百貨公司的業務其實都騙不了我。（This is also a true story 😂）
💡補充：Savvy (adj) 是個值得學習的好字，指對某方面特別精明靈敏且有研究。常見用法例如 My sister is very tech savvy. She can figure out a new app or software by herself. 我姐對很懂科技，能夠自學新的app和軟體。
An Impulse Buyer 衝動腦弱者
