kinda like Money in Zimbabwe, where it has a printed expiration date on it.

No I'm not.
I'm closer than I ever expected, and should easily be in the 10 years
until I retire. If i hadnt spent almost 10 years since turning 21 struggling
with jobs, or out of jobs, or not made a really bad investment, we would
have passed it.
But...life...luckily Its not as simple as we want it to be.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Yes and hopefully each of my heirs. We live frugally, drive old cars, but do what we want.
-Dave Ramsey gives good advice.
-I gave my college aged son the book The Millionaire Next Door.and he is well on his way there at 37?
-A customer gave me good advice in my mid-20’s, “If you don’t owe anyone money, you can’t go broke”.

Being a miser when you are a millionaire is not something to be proud of.

I suppose I am but it sure don't feel like it. I still drive an 18 year old pickup. A financial key indicator! Why would you drive an old used truck if you are a millionaire? Because if he constantly bought new vehicles he probably wouldn't be a millionaire. My point was, as I said , why continue being a miser when you have made it? maybe you should brush up on reading comprehension? I can possibly answer this question. My wife is tighter than a 52 Lasalle's lugnuts. It's not something you can change. We are great financially. She can't let up. She worries about pennies. She will be agonizing over a tiny amount and I'm like, I spent more on worms this year, let it go. She just can't. It's a great habit to have in a wife. I’m married to her sister, apparently.

It’s good for the economy for those with means to spend it.
Once the boomers are dead their is going to be some crazy inheritance spending.

Retired the end of May, no bills, bought my retirement home on 10 acres and paid cash. Told the money man we wanted 96k a year to live on and 25 k for traveling, hunting and fun. We’re in the 96 % bracket for success till age 93.
I don’t mind driving old trucks that are paid for, let’s me buy new 70 hp Kubotas and such when I want to.

If you quit buying stuff when you are content, you're not a miser, you are wise. Then you can make yourself truly happy by helping others.

Because you don’t give a chit about trying to impress people you don’t like. Did you ever consider that not everyone is out to impress others? maybe simply having a comfortable reliable vehicle with a warranty is enough. Do you always resent people with more than you?

My Folks pay 15k on the their property taxes. Both are 86 and doing well !
They bought the waterfront lot( West Seattle) in 74' and built a custom house in 76 all for 59k dollars. It's probably worth around 3 million.
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...
