Yep - the miserliness immediately made me think of two 7s I have known (and gotten out of my life fairly quickly) who did a great job of getting other people to provide for their every need. In one case, I would have to leave all debit and credit cards at home, taking only as much cash as I was prepared to spend as they would always turn on the puppy dog act about wanting to go out and drink more etc etc. This is apparently 7s going to 5, but I doubt very much that a 5 would wring money out of other people in such a deliberate manner - more likely they would choose not top go out in the first place, if they couldn't afford it.
