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

cougarbart

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

Live off $100M/yr in interest?

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

I think we’ll be judged in the afterlife to a degree on how we spent our money.

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

Looks at the recent SEC case. 😬

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?

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
