a part of why I'm fairly well-off is because I never stopped shopping at thrift stores...if I'm naughty, I might splurge and go to Marshall's or TJ Maxx. I also only use public transit...it's the best deal in America. I pay someone $1.25 (or $5 for a day pass), they pick me up on corner near my house and I can go anywhere I want within the greater Hartford area pretty much. You can't own a car, gas it up and insure it for $5 a day.
The rich got to be rich usually by being thrifty...who shops at Nordstrom? New money...people who have gotten rich suddenly without effort and have no idea how to spend money.
