Quote from ElCubano:
one of my neighbors is an old cuban dude which looks like a peasant, drives an old beat up model t ford and an old t bird I think . they are not in good condition but are classics. He wears beat up clothing, works like a dog in his asphalt company and is always working around the house at all hours of the day and night. I have been his neighbor for 10 years and would have never known he is a multi millionaire with properties all over south florida in excess of 10 million dollars ( just in properties ). He doesn't even speak freaken english.... what a surprise when I found out from my other neighbor how much he was worth... This guy is beyond frugal...this is taking it to the other extreme....He has one property worth 5 million a couple of acres of vacant lot . owns a building with 18 or 20 units in downtown area...I mean wtf...I am goign to snap a picture of the guy and post it one day...you'd think he was a bumm..
Your neighbor is a perfect example of why I chuckle when I read the articles on how to beat inflation. Just don't buy anything.
"Yup, that's old Joe, never worried about losing buying power because of inflation over the years."
