There is great book from 1996, The Millionaire Next Door. It is about the different types of savers or non-savers and their characteristics. The authors feel most millionaires live in middle class or working class neighborhoods, and live modest lives with modest needs. The typical drives older cars, wears no jewelry, no fancy watches, etc, They are not in need of the fancy lifestyle that many of white collar professionals pursue, fancy house, fancy cars, etc., but have little actual accumulated wealth - they spend it as fast as they make it. I think from being on this board for a long time, there are many that live generally modest lives and have accumulated substantial assets.
