Man, that’s tragic. I was poor most of my early life, and when I finally started to make enough money to be comfortable, I knew that the thing I couldn’t do was fall into the lifestyle trap. Living well below my means saved me so much hardship when things weren’t going well. I know that many don’t ever get to the point of comfortable, though, and there’s a bit of luck and effort, to that.

I wish we could do that. Renting and buying houses today makes it incredibly difficult to live very far below your means.
