The more you make, the more you spend

There are people that died and left millions of dollars BUT they had led a very meager life.
The reason why they had millions is because they did not spend it.

I knew two old spinsters that were sisters. They never married, never had children and did
not have any living relatives but each other. The oldest sister was a grade school teacher and
the other sister worked as a secretary at the same school. They lived a few blocks down the
street from the school. They lived in the same house they were born in. Their house was
small, comfortable, and always neat inside and out. The furniture they had, for the most part
was the same furniture they grew up with as children. As far as I know, they never had a
car, never went on vacations, and never made lavish purchases. The front room of their house
was kept very nice and rarely used. They used their dinning room as their den and that is
where they spent most of their waking hours when not working. It was almost shocking what
they left behind after they died. Millions of dollars. The majority of their money was left to
the school where they worked all their life and another even larger portion went to the
university in the same town where the oldest daughter had received her teaching degree.
Almost their entire contents of their house was antiques and some priceless, except for their
mattresses. In the small shed behind their house was lots of antiques, items that had belonged
to their father such as old tools. Even their clothes was old but well kept.

Today, many people spend constantly. We get tired of looking at the furniture we bought two
years ago, and buy new furniture even tho there is nothing wrong with the previous. People
spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars every year on mobile phones and mobile phone
usage AND when a new phone comes out, they buy the new one even tho the one they bought
last year is fine. People spend a lot of money on cars and there are people that don't even
need a car because everything is in walking distance for them. A car had a purpose to get
people from one point of distance to another but today, cars can be more expensive than a
house, people will spend thousands of dollars on new cars, not to mention the costs of gas
and maintenance. Many people spend money on all the latest items such as new kitchen
gadgets, new computers, etc. Often, many products that are purchased are rarely used or
used a few times and then put away or thrown away. Many people have become fat simply
because they eat too much food. Food that cost money that they don't even need. Food
from fast food joints that cost a lot of money. Food they would be better off not eating.

So the next time you say you would like to have a million dollars, just know that you very
likely could have a million dollars if you get a good education, you work, you save, and
you stop spending money on stuff you don't need anyway.

All societies are built up that we have to buy things.

But considering an environmental consideration ..... then you are right.

But so far we are allowed to do whatever we want with the money we earn.

Remember: There are no pockets in the last set of clothes you get on

Well that is not my point. For starters, the women I am referring to had to spend money.
They had to buy food. They had to pay for repairs on their house when needed. They
had insurance payments to make. I don't know about the youngest sister but the oldest
paid for her education to become a teacher. Of course they purchased items besides food.
They no doubt bought a new dress from time to time. Undergarments and sleepwear. Shoes
do wear down after awhile. I am not saying they never bought anything at all.

What I am saying is, they enjoyed the life they had and did not spend senselessly.

You want to enjoy your life. If enjoying your life means redecorating your house every two
.......................................

You have the big Donald Duck ( Trump ) to guide you
years, that is fine. In other words, what you do with your money is up to you. But this
topic is about being a millionaire and my point is, in todays world people waste a lot of
money on stuff they don't need and often stuff they don't even want.

Mary and Ruth had worked for the education system all their lives. That is what they
strongly believe in besides their faith. They lived a good life. They didn't want for
anything. They just simply did not waste money.

There was one thing that President Obama stated that stuck in my head. It was in
regards to healthcare. He said if people would stop spending money on the newest
latest cell phones and other needless items, they would have money for healthcare.
Well of course I don't agree with that in total. However, I do understand what he was
saying. Many people today do not have their priorities in the right place.

Children are not taught enough if at all, in school about money. They teach the
math but they don't teach the money. Then when you go to college they force you
take Economics. You have to listen to some old man drawing graphs on the black
board and you're fortunate if you pass the class. You have nightmares all semester
that if you flunk you'll have to listen to the boring old professor again next semester.

You die, leave all your money to someone you may not even know that well and you have experienced nothing - no vacations, no cruises, no road trips. Everyone should live a little. Build up some memories. Die content that you have totally experienced life.
