How good are you with your money?

[bearishgurl]

. . . He drives a 1992 Town Car and brings lunch from home. The office carpet is patched with duct tape. One worker calls him ‘the cheapest man alive.’ . . .

Regarding Lincoln Towncars, ’92 was one of their best years, if not THE best year for these cars! The color-coordinated interiors were gorgeous, its all-LED dash `state-of-the-art’ as well as the interior burl throughout, including the numerous back seat accessories decorated in it as well!! And what a comfortable road car this is!!! What more could he ask for?? Mr. Wedbush might have a little trouble fitting it into a typical LA meter space but I’m sure all his buildings have an ample underground space (or two) with his name on it :=]

Yeah, Diego, I would definitely fix the office carpet. If an employee trips over it and injures themselves, they will have to file a worker’s comp claim. And Mr. Wedbush would NOT be pleased with his *new* rates after the processing of that claim! :=(

Ok, I’ll admit that I like some luxuries…. but I find that I’m not buying much of anything because there’s nothing that I want anymore. I pretty much have everything that I want or need (in comparaison to most Americans, my place is very spartan).

I admire people who are good with their money and manage it well.

But as TG said, there’s a difference between managing money well and being cheap.

Yes, TG said it well. Being prudent with your money in a balanced manner is admirable. This guy — spending his golden years breathing in mold and scrutinizing expense reports — has a compulsion.

Have to agree with the consensus that the situation referenced in this thread is extreme to the point of being sad.

Although we live in RSF, our family has always been very “practical,” and are big savers/investors.

My wife and I wanted to retire at 50–we achieved that goal at 51, and should be able to live the rest of our lives the way we want to, primarily because we had a very clear plan.

In my estimation, the best thing a younger person can do is save/invest more than you think you’ll ever need, and seriously evaluate every expenditure–even when you’re making the big bucks.

That’s what we did, because, honestly, no one knows how long their gravy train will last–so many things can happen in life!

Even those making huge amounts of money, as we did as a couple, could see that income disappear over a 20-30 year period–so keep it while you have it!
