A common misconception about the super rich is that they are heavy spenders because they have the means. Surprisingly, a majority of affluent households are quite frugal. One of the characteristics of the wealthy is the tremendous amount of discipline they have with their money.
There are many ways to start eliminating wasteful spending today so you can have more money for tomorrow. [HERE‘s a look at 5 items to eliminate from your daily spending.]
Rather than getting a rush from spending on things you don’t really need, focus on the excitement of how much you can achieve by investing that money instead.
Consider how much money you could have in 10 to 40 years if you stopped wasteful spending now and invested that money instead. As can be seen in this example HERE doing so could save you in excess of $1,500,000 over a 40 year period (in excess of $150,000 over a 10 year period) assuming an annualized return of 6%.
