Why are some well off people so frugal?

[Platinum State]

A few people I've known for over 10 years and know how much money they make/their parents made (when they didnt work), know what investments, properties they own act so frugal most of the time that its annoying.
Driving a 15 year old car, buying crappy shoes/clothes, buying the cheapest possible electronics, not splurging anywhere. Theyre constantly looking for ways to multiply their money but never treat themselves.
I know the saying " they wouldnt be rich if they spent money on stupid crap" but damn gotta treat yourself and live within your means, not wayyy below. Whats the point in having money if you choose the lifestyle of a bum and constantly have to worry about money?

Their self-worth is held in the fact that they tell themselves they've "earned it".

Does it bother you that much to see ppl with money dress poor?

 

[miketysonthekiller]

Because you short sighted fool. Some people are les of a victims of the American religion which is consumerism. Some people actually see long term gains rather than instant gratification. Instead of being so mad they aren't like you spending their money on plastic that doesn't hold any monetary value, you should perhaps learn from frugal folk and start seeing that the future is uncertain and perhaps having some money, preferably gold, would come in handy when bums are out in the streets robbing people cus they couldn't keep money in their savings account.

Bruh you need to get like them.

I'd rather be rich and bummy than fly and poor.

 

[denni5themenace]

why do you let other people's life choices bother you?

 

[brinknows]

[niquefreak94]

sounds like you just wish you had the money so you can splurge

 

[yotk13]

People who got money dress like theyre broke and people that are broke dress like they got money

And that is ______ ?



Aint but one damn person answer the OP question.

IMO they don't spend or treat themselves because they're busy looking for the next opportunity.

 

[illphillip]

Look at all the dumb ************* that got rich and went broke (rappers, ball players etc.).

Because if you have money you can wear whatever you want.
