[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many rich people are surprisingly frugal.  They don't just waste money because they have it.  
They actively make decisions of what to spend their money on. [/quote]

This.  Borrow “The Millionaire Next Door” from your local library.   Most popular car for millionaires in the US is a Ford F-150, not Lexus, not Mercedes, not BMW, not Jaguar, not Land Rover, …. Admittedly, that F-150 probably is at one of the higher trim levels, but still this fact surprises many people.

One’s spend rate often is visible, but many people’s actual wealth/net worth often is not so visible.  Often, someone with a low/lower spend rate has more wealth than one might guess from looking at that spend rate.[/quote]

But also, any F-150 costs at least $50K, and most of them aren't being driven by ranchers or contractors.

People find ways to spend more money than is absolutely "necessary," which means everyone wastes money, assuming that by "waste money" you mean "buys something other than the least-expensive option for survival. [/quote]
