What does the expression "fisted man" mean? The first thing that comes to mind is the word "miser", that is, one who is greedy or stingy. However, the meaning of this phrase is not limited to the characteristic of the attitude to material wealth and financial means.
As for the characterization of a person as greedy for money, the word “fisted” has a slightly different semantic connotation.

The character of this character fully reveals the meaning of the phrase "fisted man."
What is the tightness?
Stinginess is a character trait of a person, a property of his personality. It can be acquired, formed under the influence of any circumstances, or, as they say, congenital.
As for congenitality, this is certainly an extremely controversial term. Most psychologists are inclined to believe that there are no innate properties of personality in the literal sense of this expression. That is, by this definition it is necessary to understand those character traits that a person acquired in early childhood, observing adults.
The main thing that expresses this quality is frugality, the ability to prioritize, respect for one's own work and profitability, bordering on stinginess.
How does this character trait manifest itself in ordinary life?
A fisted person is one who is extremely scrupulous and legible in spending. Along with this, people with a similar property in character are usually extremely categorical in all matters relating to the conduct of business or the payment for their work. A clear understanding of the value of one's own work is what sets them apart from many others.
A fistful person will never linger in an office overtime or perform any additional duties without first discussing how this will be paid. Of course, the sizes and terms of payment will also be discussed.
In addition to extreme practicality and intransigence in everything related to doing business, people with such a trait in their character are scrupulous and even stingy in expenses. They meticulously check all bills, including those brought by waiters in restaurants. A fistful person is a regular in sales; he has a lot of coupons and cards in various purses in various purses that give him the right to additional discounts. These people never leave the store without checking each item on the check with the contents of their basket. They always pay attention to the mismatch of the price tag in the room and the numbers on the cash register, even if it is insignificant.
However, greed is not a synonym for pinched. People with this quality are able to clearly prioritize spending. They are thrifty and economical. Such a person does not look like literary characters - Plyushkina or Box. As a rule, he is well-dressed, uses perfumes and has a great sense of style. But at the same time it is not a spender, spends as necessary and always finds the option of how you can earn more and spend less.
Fingeriness only relates to money?
Having figured out what “fistful person” means from the philistine point of view, one cannot help but wonder whether there are other options for understanding this phrase.
Stinginess is a personality trait that manifests itself in everything, not only in matters related to finances. Such people are stingy with emotions, extremely restrained in communication. They speak little and use words in speech that express their thoughts as accurately as possible. They do not accept public demonstrations of feelings, do not hug, confine themselves to a restrained handshake.
