[quote=Anonymous]I had a father with this mindset. Here are some of the things he did: Bought a cheap house in a bad school district, when he could have afforded to buy a slightly better house in a dramatically better school district 5 miles away. My brother and I were 99th percentile test takers who suffered from a bad education and never learned how to study and work hard. Fretted over paying for my very modest wedding and actually disinvited relatives I had invited because he didn't want to pay for them. Died with more than $1 million in the bank and a paid off house. We seriously suffered so much bc of his frugality, and we didn't have to. I also never learned how to invest in myself -- I'm in my 40s and am still learning now that sometimes you need to spend money in order to create something big. [/quote]
