[quote=Anonymous]Second another poster’s suggestion to read and digest info in the book “The Millionare Next Door”. One point he makes is that those who appear to be the most weathy may not actually have a great net worth/bottom line, because they’ve spent too much money on consumable/non-durable goods. People who lived modestly did not look wealthy, but had a great financial net worth because they hadn’t blown their money on a flashy life style - they still had that money in their pocket, so to speak. He used the Texas reference “Big hat, no cattle”. Most of his millionares owned non-flashy small companies and lived in middle class neighborhoods, bought used cars and lived modestly. I lived in the south in college years, and quickly learned it was considered in bad taste to dress or act wealthy; the richest guy in town might be wearing ratty clothes and driving an ancient car. I learned to like that behavior and those manners. [/quote]
