[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who become rich people pack their lunches, do their own yard work, and drive cars until they fall apart. People who were born rich eat out, hire everything done, and drive expensive depreciating assets.[/quote]

Keep telling yourself that.

My husband and I became rich after growing up without money through our own work (started and owned business).   We don't always pack our lunch, we definitely do not do our own yard work, and we drive nice enough cars.  We certainly don't sit around not spending the money we worked hard to earn.   Our time is valuable.  Most valuable thing we have.  We'd be dumb if we acted like you think "rich" people acted.

Why do people need this narrative to be true?[/quote]

Why do people think you need to live below your means to be “rich”? How about get a high paying job?[/quote]

Because if you make a million a year but spend a million a year, you'll never ever be rich? You need to live below your means to grow your net worth. Rich is net worth, not income.[/quote]

If you make a million a year, you are already rich. If you spend that million, you live the “rich lifestyle”. As long as you continue to make that million, you are rich. It’s when you spend more than what you make that you are in trouble.
Rich has nothing to do with net worth. Rich is more about producing income.
