I went backpacking in Asia with a girl who drove me mad with how tight she was. She'd rather sleep in a complete hovel than shell out an extra $5 for a decent room.

This can get verrrrry emotional for some people. Also, I've traveled with people who had waaaay less money or waaaaay more money to spend than I did - and it was horrible! You have to talk very, very frankly about the money thing before you go... and even do it more than once!
