		r0fl on Aug 11, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The death of the ‘Millionaire Next Door’ dream Being thrifty, not having the latest iPhone, not driving a Tesla and not having 3 meals delivered to your door is not fun.

The funny thing is that all of those things aren’t that gratifying either once the newness wears off.

Ok, maybe the Tesla is, but anyway.
