Why is it scarier to spend money when you have it, then when you dont?

i personally knew a millionaire next door type--in fact a many times multi millionaire type-- guy had 20 big ones plus sacked away, lived like a pauper and died like one too.

truly sad. particullarly, since this style of life is pushed upon the wannabes as acceptable and normal. Dying with 20 million banked, but living a miser lifestyle is simply stupid-- anyway you cut it.

what's wrong with you guys? There is definitely a happy medium between stupidity and ghetto fabulous.

For a smart person there is far more money to be made in the bad times than there is in the booms. Survival of the fitest is the rule. Personaly I intend to remain one of the fitest, I owe it to my family, but good luck with your choice all the same!

agree.

however, it shouldn't be thought of as "normal" for the wealthy to live like the poor. per that assinine book.

I can survive anything...so bring it on. I ain't scared of death or being poor. The millionaire next door was then this is now. When a loaf of bread cost $20 bucks you better know/learn how to survive off the grid homey...peace

Therein lies the difference, I'm planning to florish and you're intending to simply survive. Judging by your ghetto speak we obviously inhabit very different spaces.

Having been a businessman/ speculator (with mixed success but currently riding the wave) for more than 20 years I am not your average frugal person, hence the difference in your and my attitudes to the future!

A hint for future reference, the more you crap on anonymously the less credabilitiy you impart, at this point you sound like a 16 year old boy trying to be a man.
