If it were anything but a homework assignment, I'd say stingy is the correct word.
Now if perhaps we were on a date and I said, "Crap, Audi, I'm sorry but it seems I forgot my wallet at home, can you pay the check and don't forget too leave a tip!" --------
You could call me cheap, asshole, cheesecake or
- do what my last girlfriend did, "She never called again!"
But truthfully, I'd pay for everything for real. But don't call me stingy, I'm still holding onto everything I make and you can call me---
comfortably rich middle class.
