I think this is true. I grew up poor and have accumulated about 2.5 million dollars worth of assets and am self employed. At 40 I was driving a Mazda pickup with 200,000 miles on it that I bought used. I’m now driving a SUV with 100,000 miles on it. I shop at the outlet stores for clothes twice a year and spend about $500.00/year on clothes. My house is probably worth about 300,000 and paid for. I eat out about twice a month at Applebees but prefer Healthy Choice frozen dinners. Most of my money is in Real Estate and recently I’ve been buying homes in Phoenix area for rentals. The recession hasn’t changed my lifestyle.

this is certainly correct… i know a few… but one that caught my attention the most is someone i know who’s family owns several car franchises and even has a food chain franchise of his own yet still works as an executive in the office and unbelievably drives his box car toyota… it is said, that those who cannot afford these things anytime apparently bothers themselves so much about status quo

My mistake. It seems I somehow missed the home value part. Still, $300,000 isn’t exactly cheap.
