I like these people.

Super rich, yet don’t feel the need to be an attention whore and flaunt their wealth.

Most rich people keep a low profile and work alot, or so I’ve been told.

If you want to hold on to wealth, you need to live like a pauper.

New cars are the worst investments and driving lots of miles eats up cars. I live 1.4 miles from work and ride a bike most days. 1992 Jeep Cherokee, 191K miles, driven about once a month. Should last a while yet…;-)

Buy a mazda they pretty much have the highest economy all around.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

Old money buys once, modestly, at economy, and for longevity.

New money is flashy and wasteful. It treats money like sex lube to burn through.

Ps. $40k is still a s~~~ load of money for an automobile. I prefer a $2k used Honda.

This article is written by a man; however, it reads like it was written by a woman who validates her existence by over-spending.

Interesting article. I lean quite far to the frugal side myself, but the way I look at it is you only need so much money. My grandfather for example bitched for years about his clunker car. He finally broke down and bought himself a new Cadillac and spent the next 6 months talking about how much he loved his car and he wish he upgraded sooner, then a couple years later he ends up falling and hitting his head, losing his license, and having to move into an assisted living facility with millions of dollars in assets and close to a 100k a year pension. Now he gets to spend it on BINGO night. He should have just bought that car sooner, it wasn’t like he was in danger of running out of money.

I get it that not everyone wants a big house or a fancy car…but if you have millions/billions in the bank and your annual passive income from investments is by far exceeding your annual spending, why not enjoy it a bit more, you can’t take it with you, and living comfortably off passive income and enjoying your money is far different than someone who’s definition of enjoying their money is how much stuff can they finance.

True.

It’s all about balance.

You don’t want to end up the richest person in the grave yard.
