Are you a tightwad or a apendthrift?

It depends on the items. I'm not that interested in electronic equipments and clothes. I don't mostly spend a money to them. However, I've really invested to things related with espresso like coffee beans at SCAJ. I have to refrain from overspending for the time being.

Are you a tightwad or a aspendthrift?

These terms will be understood, but they are both a little old fashioned.

I'm not that interested in electronic equipments and clothes.

"equipment" is its own plural form

I don't mostly don't spend any money ton them.

"money" is uncountable, so doesn't take a "a"

(specific currencies like "dollars" or "yen" on the other hand are countable)

However, I've really invested toin things related withto espresso like coffee beans atfrom SCAJ.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
I still sometimes get confused about which "in" or "to" should be written after the verb.
I guess I'll have to study one thing at a time.

I think sometimes it's best to treat phrases like "invested in" or "related to" as patterns of their own.

Are you a tightwad or a aspendthrift?

It depends on the items.

I'm not that interested in electronic equipments and clothes.

Generally, "equipment" is an uncountable noun.

I don't mostusually spend a money ton them.

(1) "Money" is an uncountable noun, so we do not place "a" in front of it.
(2) The phrase is "spend money on (something)".

However, I've really invested toin things related withto espresso like coffee beans at SCAJ.

(1) The phrase is "invest in".
(2) Alternatively, instead of "I've really invested in...", you can also say "I've invested heavily in...".
(3) The phrase is "related to".

I have to refrain from overspending for the time being.
