re: Who are the "Hidden Millionaires" in small towns

The millionaires are generally the people who live well within their means.

Debt is the biggest money sucker you can get into. My husband and I both hate debt and have none of it. We live in a nice but modest house that is paid for, drive two cars that are paid for. I cook almost every day at home, so no money is wasted eating out. We cut our own grass, clean our own house, do our own additions and repairs. We fish in kayaks. I am not a material girl and will NEVER be found at the mall. He was 47 years old before he bought his first brand new car. We walked into the Cadillac dealership in shorts, T-shirts and flip flops and wrote a check for a brand new Caddy. It feels fabulous to be able to do that.

frick the Joneses. Let them dig their way out of their mountain of debt while we sleep peacefully at night. Life is good, but it is because we were not self-indulgent all of our lives. A simple life is not necessarily a boring life.
