I’ve got billions,but don’t like to spend it

Today, Ashley Hawkins from Forbes.com, wrote an article on how even the richest/wealthiest people today still practice frugality,special to ABCNews.com. I love reading stories like this! One of my most motivational role models in this article was mentioned, he goes by the name of Warren Buffet. Dawn C. from Frugal for life, wrote a story on how a Cincinatti Bengals punter, Kyle Larson, saves 75% of his paycheck and drives a dirty old pickup truck.

Sure, billionaires fly private jets, live in massive mansions, dine at the world’s finest restaurants and shop at Gucci, Prada and Louis Vuitton. After all, they’re rich. But some of the world’s wealthiest people aren’t so flashy. They’re frugal–for billionaires, at least.

Now it might be true that are they are frugal at least for billionaires, I agree. Still I have a smile on my face knowing that these very well off people that are known for their money don’t buy in to the materialism most rich celebrities think they need to splurg on these days. Ingvar Kamprad, founder of Ikea and at 33 billion drives a 15 year old Volvo and avoids wearing suits. Jim C. Walton from Wal-Mart inherited billions and watches his spending. Last but certainly not the least, Warren Buffet, already known for his frugal behavior still lives in the same home he bought 51 years ago at $31K.

I couldn’t tell you what I would do if I was a wealthy person such as these great money spenders. I know at least I would do my very best to get on to the next list. First, get out of debt *sigh* Until then my fellow readers, real money grows.
