On this same note, many people who have built tremendous wealth have done so by living frugally. This is best evidenced in Thomas Stanley's The Millionaire Next Door, which is a book I'd encourage anyone interested in the topic of this post to read.

I saw something online recently that said, "Rich people stay rich by living like they're broke, and broke people stay broke by living like they're rich." There's a lot of truth to that, and once you can figure out that money can't solve all of your problems, it can make your life less stressful.
