[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. 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]

Buying a $20 lunch EVERY work day, assuming you never take vacation, would be $5000/year.

First off, most people are paying half that.  Second, $5000/year is not going to make or break you rich.  It's the big expenses that effect that, like housing, childcare.  Third, its hardly like the lunch you take from home is free, and it takes time -- you might be better off working a few hours longer or picking up more hours at work rather than packing and washing a lunch, as well as the networking opportunities that come from eating lunch with colleagues.

The lunch or coffee is not the line between rich and not rich.[/quote]
