You’re actually on point, I read a book called the millionaire next door at the request of my CFP a lot of years ago. They pulled together a huge group of millionaires they managed money for and asked a series of questions. Most popular watch, Timex. Age of your vehicle, 8-10 years. Favorite beer, cheap domestic.
Basically a lot of millionaires work hard and spend little and it adds up, but they never really “lived like a millionaire”

So why? Give the value to the next generation snot heads? Enjoy life! We bought a new pickup and trailer and camp, eat steak, gamble a bit and drink good booze. Life is too short! Do what you enjoy and help others.


I tell my dad to spend his money on him. Don't worry about us. I told him him to "rent" a couple 20 year Olds (female) and go to the Caribbean and have fun. He'd be broke afterwards but the 80yo would have a smile....lol
