[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been reading The Millionaire Next Door. It's dated, but the principles and information still applies to modern times. You can Google the book if you want a synopsis of the main points.

This x1000. Go read the posts about people spending $20 or more a day on lunches and do the opposite[b]. I still shop at thrift stores, use online coupon codes, and go to lower prices grocery stores and eat out maybe 1 time a month. We are wealthy but you would never, ever guess it. [/quote][i][/i][/b]

Why on earth would you live this way of you are wealthy? Just to have more money in your bank account when you are alive and money to give your kids when you die? No thanks![/quote]
[b]This is the way many, if not most wealthy people live.[/b] That's partly how we get to be wealthy. The habits of a lifetime are hard to break regardless of your bank balance.[/quote]
It's fine that you live like this, but this is simply not true. I grew up pretty well off, and people were thoughtful about not wasting money but they still spent enough to enjoy their lives. If you enjoy your life, that's fine...but most people would prefer to eat out a few more times a month, to go to normal grocery stores, and to shop at department stores.

I don't think there's a reasonable definition by which I'm not wealthy, and I could not imagine only shopping thrift stores and shopping only at grocery outlet. I don't buy everything from Whole Foods either, though. And I definitely use online coupon codes.[/quote]
