Moderation in all things. Especially charitable giving.

Of course. Big purchases (or tons of small purchases) could wipe that out in not

Even if you’re buying private jets and yachts you’re not killing nearly a $B

Agreed but those are the only items that could make a serious dent

If you aren't, then you're practicing some level of frugality

Lots of huge purchases and investments a person could make. Do some

Live off $100M/yr in interest?

3/19/23 10:32am

Yes. Have an awesome life. Give a bunch of it away to people who need it more

it would be pretty hard to even spend the interest on a billion - that's millions of dollars a week.

Difference between helping someone out of your heart vs being forced to help

It depends on what you mean by frugality

Yeah, on a scale of 100 I’d probably be a 2 or 3

Dude a half of one percent is 5 million a year to live off of. Investing the principal at that level you're

DJROSS

The sum result of frugality would change. For example a new Cadillac does not

Frugality by current standards or by billionaire standards?

vagabonder

Happy now or happy if I had a billion dollars?

vagabonder

3/19/23 11:24am

I’d be “frugal” enough to hopefully not encourage my kids to grow up to be

It would be impossible to spend that kind of money without giving it away
