[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read a Millionaire Next Door while in college, and in a way, it totally changed my future life because it changed the way I thought about money. Like you, we lived pretty well growing up, and I figured that you were supposed to spend what you can to reach a certain level in order to, I don't know what, signal your success? Realize your own success? I'm a totally different person in that regard to what people in college remember me as. And because I was lucky enough to discover this early on, we could easily retire by 40, if we so desired. We won't, but we might by 50.[/quote] Agree with the Millionaire Next Door book. I had frugal, thoughtful parents so I learned financial discipline from them but this way of thinking reinforced my upbringing. I could retire tomorrow, at age 51, if I wanted. Modest house and old cars and lots of money in the bank.[/quote]
