We don't know the guy. Maybe he would have enjoyed spending his money on cars, jewelry, and mansions. But not everyone likes those things. Maybe saving away for his children and preferred charities gave him more joy. Speaking for myself, if I had lots of money, I'd probably give most of it away. I'm already doing what makes me happy, and I'm poor as shit.
- mullen 12y agoThe article makes it clear the guy lived below his means and drove an old car. It's safe to assume he did not have cars, jewelry and mansions. He was also 91, I don't know what he was waiting for, maybe 95 before he cut loose? But you are right, people have their money and do with it to enjoy their lives as they see fit. I would be happy to have $5 million and just live off the $20,000 (Assuming 5% return) a month that would give me.
