[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clothes...I don't buy new clothes.  I have had most of mine for a decade.  I toss them when they break a zipper or get holes.  When I do buy clothes, I tend to shop Sam's.

Vehicles...I drive a 14 year old truck with plenty of rust and dings.  Not going to upgrade for a few more years/until it is unreliable.

I clean my own house and my 12 yo mows the lawn.

I'm an avid bargain shopper when I need something, and use FB Marketplace, etc. to save substantially on certain items.  I try not to buy things I don't need -- but if I know I am going to need something, I will purchase ahead if I find a deal.

I'll pay by check or cash rather than pay a 3% credit card fee.

I always fly coach and stay in cheap hotels.  Personal comfort just isn't a huge deal to me.[/quote]
Curious what “I have money” means in this thread. [/quote]

NW of a few million, HHI $400k in my case (PP you quoted).  I have some very expensive tastes as well (food, own five horses, travel a lot.)[/quote]

Not to threadjack but please let me know how you have five horses on that HHI!! Do you board? I’m struggling to pay for one at $350k.[/quote]

PP here: I do board (other people’s horses!). I own a boarding barn.  A couple are retirees that have earned a good retirement (one is over 30 yo but still in good shape), one is leased out and actually makes $$.  I only have one show horse.  The retirees are in some ways more expensive to care for though, like elderly people they have special needs.[/quote]
