This is an old stereotype which people are finally beginning to realise just isn't true. Did you know, for example, that all Jews are required to perform acts of charity, known as tzedekah? Or that the Torah commands farmers to leave a certain portion of their crops for poor people to gather completely free of charge and demands that every Jew gives money when passing a beggar? Jews are also required by their faith to donate at least 10% of their annual income to charitable causes (and should do so anonymously) - do you do that?

This is an anti-Semitic myth. Like everyone, Jews do spend money. Perhaps you should think about this question. If Jewish people did not spend money, they could not survive or do anything.

Are Jewish peole stingy or frugal why?

This is, unfortunately, a common stereotype about Jews. Historically, Jews were more involved in banking in Europe and the Arab World than their non-Jewish counterparts. In Europe it was because it was illegal for Christians to perform banking. In the Arab World, Jews just happened to have better education in banking procedures and could charge interest (which is forbidden in Islam). As a result, since the Jews were engaged in banking, the accusation that they were stingy formed. This is regardless of whether Jews are actually stingy or not.Answer:1) As a persecuted minority, Jews in medieval times had to eke out a living with difficulty, under onerous taxation; and very rarely was there cash to spare.2) Jews have a reputation for intelligence and using their wits. There's nothing wrong with that, but onlookers often complain.3) In the Middle Ages, there were restrictions on Jewish occupations which sometimes forced the Jews to be moneylenders (similar to the above answer).
