I just read this week that Warren Buffett never spends more than $3.17 on breakfast, drives a 20+ year old K-car, and still lives in his modest brick home he and his wife bought in the mid 1950s. Talk about spending below your means, Mr Buffett exemplifies that in spades. Well done for one of the top three wealthiest men in the world.
Often times, the richest people are also the ones you would least expect. I have a friend who is a multi-millionaire. He wears jeans and t-shirts everyday, drives a Ford F-150 and every time he goes out-to-eat, he claims its' his birthday so he can get a free dessert. Kinda embarrassing I know, but it's hard to argue with the results.
