Anyone read the book "The Millionaire Next Door" ?

It is nice to be frugal, so you have money for a rainy day and such....

But here is a little peice of advice, you cannot take your money with you. So if it you can use money to enjoy life a little more right now, as long as you can afford it, I think its a good idea.

I read the book, and while I learned a lot, it also depressed me reading about old people who never went out to dinner, cut coupons, only flushed toilets once a day, lived in a old house, never went on vacations - but now have a net worth of over 1 million dollars at age 68 or something!!

I think this is a little extreme....

Of course I still live on my moms porch, so what do I know?
