Wiki:

A miser, cheapskate, curmudgeon, niggard, penny pincher, piker, scrooge, skinflint or tightwad is a person who is reluctant to spend money, sometimes to the point of forgoing even basic comforts and some necessities. Old people were commonly thought to be miserly but this stereotype is less common since support programs such as Social Security have resulted in less poverty in old age. Freud attributed the development of miserly behaviour to toilet training in childhood.

Example:

A miser hoards money not because he is prudent but because he is greedy. What a miser you are! It is true he is rich, but he is a miser. The miser opened the box to find his money stolen. Late in life the miser learned to be generous with money. My neighbor is a penny-pinching old miser who wont even give you the time of day.
