I just wonder though, for those of us who aren't millionaires, do we use the excuse of "true wealth" as a reason why we aren't? Do we tend our souls saying it's ok, so we don't rage against the rich? I have to imagine millionaires have fun too right? :) Nice post Dave. I just wonder though, for those of us who aren’t millionaires, do we use the excuse of “true wealth” as a reason why we aren’t?

I have to imagine millionaires have fun too right? :)

It's a shame that so many people out there are looking for ways to get rich quick when the truth of the matter is that the path to financial success is a simple one. What isn't simple is being able to actually travel down that path - to build the patience to stick with something simple that is going to be good for you in the long run. Great post - keep 'em coming! I agree 100% with the get rich slowly principles of living within your means, avoiding debt, and investing early and often that you mention in the post.

I always find it silly when I read stories about the old retiree that was always so worried about saving money that when she finally passed away with over a million dollars to her name but no one to pass it on to. The same applies when I read stories (or more often, hear about it from people I know) about someone or a couple who lived far above their means and ended up poor and miserable. As you said, there are a lot of people out there giving advice that follows a very strict guideline of how personal finances should be done, and it bothers me. People need to realize it is never so simple and shouldn't get caught up in a certain way they are told they should live their lives.
