[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This is the way many, if not most wealthy people live. That's partly how we get to be wealthy. The habits of a lifetime are hard to break regardless of your bank balance.[/quote]

Yes, but what’s the point of being wealthy if you live that a poor person? Is it enough for you just the psychological security of a big bank account and nothing else to show for it?[/quote]

NP. Because shit happens--even when you have good insurance--shit happens. I never want to be the person who lived it up in their 40s only to be in a hopeless position in their 60s because they didn't want to "live like a poor person." Live like a SMART person. Live like a prepared person.[/quote]

Have you ever known someone this has happened to?  You don’t have to live like a poor person to have money in your 60s.  [/quote]
