I've been reading Boswell's diaries. He's an arrogant git with a lot to be arrogant about - in his twenties, mixing with the highest of Georgian society and getting published all over the shop.
He's also a Scot, and while I wouldn't want to cast him to stereotype, he's VERY careful with the pennies. To the extent that when he pursues and seduces an actress, he brags to his diary about having achieved it for just a Guinea (or thereabouts).
When he subsequently discovers that he's caught Gonorrhea, his sanctimonious outrage had me laughing like a drain.
"We all have flaws, and mine is being wicked."
James Thurber, The Thirteen Clocks 1951
The ridiculous thing is I'm playing Red Dead 2, waiting with barely contained excitement for Cyberpunk, and I bought Dragon Age Inquisition (among others). How I ever fooled myself into thinking I would have time to play that, even in the even distant future, is concerning.
