[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Came from less than nothing.  Quit working at 52 and haven't lifted a finger since.  Spouse never worked and was SAHM.  Raised four kids through college, all tuition paid, plus all weddings paid for.
 
Traveled all over the world with the kids, including a month-long African safari (also took their spouses), a month long trip to Australia, and several trips to Latin America.  After retiring (pre-covid), the two of us went on several month long trips ourselves to Europe, Asia, and Latin America.  Our first post-Covid international trip is next month.

We have a $1.8 million home in DC, a $900k second home in the country where we spend a lot of time, plus an $800k investment property in a DC suburb.

Net worth:  8 million.

We've never paid to fly business or first class with our own money, ever.  Had we done a silly thing like that, we'd never be able to do what we have done or be where we are financially today.   [/quote]

Agreed, but it is all relative.  If your net worth was $25M+, you might decide it is worth it[/quote]

We have a high net worth. I just bought business class to Europe for the family. Here’s how I considered it:

- I am frugal in a lot of other ways

- I have enough money that if I don’t spend it on things like this, I’ll sue and my kids will spend it on things like this.
