One "not rich" uncle in particular has money for a golf club membership and a summer home, but insists on only buying day old bread and expired lunch meats because he can't afford unspoiled food for his family. He's the type that goes in for group dining, orders the most expensive items, racks up a tab twice as high as anyone else, but insists on splitting the bill equally and never pays the tip. Huge Bachmann fan.
