[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a wealthy person who lived frugally. I inherited 2M that grew to 4M because I do not touch it and live on my $200K earned income. I know I can’t re-earn what I inherited, so I don’t spend it. I just live within my means. My friends do not know how much money I have. OTOH they have done well Over time and some of them are probably now richer than I am. We never talk about it. We are all just friends.[/quote] It's hard to "not talk about it". We are quietly better off than most of our friends group and don't "talk about it", but when we take an expensive vacation or buy a new car there's no way they don't know. And yes, when you hear them talk about other people that "don't have to worry about money" and the likes, you do get to feel like you are justifying, especially when you didn't grow up with money. It gets complicated. [/quote] The house, cars and private schools are a dead giveaway. [/quote]
