Eating from under your ass

A metaphore for saving money while physically suffering from cold, heat, hunger, pain, etc. while the end goal for saving money is not worth it.
This metaphore can also be used to describe the act of not wanting to buy a tool, gadget, etc. that would make the job significantly easier.
This metaphore cannot be applied to those that cannot afford to spend money. For example, a college student that eats a meal rejected by ethiopians just to save money for books, rent, etc.
"I don't use the AC (of the car) because it uses more gas. I could use that money to buy a coffee."
Here the person suffers from heat, just to have that small pleasure to drink a coffee.
So next time a person says anything of this sort, just say "Stop eating from under your ass".
Other examples of people that eat from under their ass:
- A person that has the possibility to go to the dentist in their own country, but chooses to suffer for months until he/she has time to go to another country for a more affordable dental care, even though this person can totally afford the dental care in his/her country.
- A person that does not want to use a heater to heat their bathroom, thus choosing to suffer from cold to save a bit on electricity, an electricity bill that they could afford to pay anyway.
- A truck driver that does not use any kind of GPS, because GPS is for pussies, thus choosing more hard ways to get to his destination. Finding his destination will require to look at physical maps, to ask people at gas stations and/or calling other people to ask for directions. All these actions may give the driver some level of stress.
- A guy that eats milk and cereal so he has money for gas to drive his 5th hand 2003 BMW M5 on the weekends, at the end week he doesn't even have money to buy a deodorant.
