Meet some more people. I've saved 20+% for about 5 years now, I have over a year of FU money, and probably closer to 3 or 4 if I actually payed closer attention to my spending and cut back. I'm not rich, I just save before I spend and prolong the time before I give any of my money away (purchases, bills etc - its my money!)
It hasn't affected me much, I still work, I'm still kind to strangers and waitresses. You're rule is good, but something tells me those people you know would be the same in any situation.
- jacquesm 16y ago> but something tells me those people you know would be the same in any situation. That's exactly why the rule is good, it allows you to pick out people like that. In other situations they will be the same (they can't help it) but it won't stand out so much. Some people try to impress others by bossing people around or showing they can afford to be rude, for me that's a total turn-off. The really interesting thing here is that the really wealthy are usually quite modest (at least, those that I've met, which is not a very large sample).
