The richer you are, the more frugal you are!After reading this, you will understand

 If you come into contact with or observe the rich for a long time, you should find this phenomenon. The richer you are, the more frugal you are!This is the law of the rich.Counted as the richest people in the world, few people are not frugal, and some people are even frugal to the point of stinginess. Buffett, the “god of stocks”, is one of the representatives.In Buffett's view, frugality is the wealth of the poor and the wisdom of the rich. The poor must be frugal, and the rich must be frugal!

In 2008, when Buffett replaced his friend Bill Gates as the world's richest man, he was congratulated by a media friend.However, Buffett said humorously: “If you want to know why I can surpass Bill Gates, I can tell you that it's because I spend less, which is a reward for my frugality.”

Gates also humorously admitted Buffett's self-deprecation, saying: “I am very happy to give my first place to Warren.When we played golf last weekend, he used band-aids instead of golf gloves to save money.Although he is not good at chess, he has saved a few dollars.I think this is the main reason why he became the richest man.When we played golf together on weekends, I had to beat him without a band-aid.”

Of course, Buffett is unlikely to be frugal enough to surpass Bill Gates, who is also not a very wealthy person.Nevertheless, Buffett's frugality in his personal life is still impressive.

Buffett's life is unusually frugal.Catherine Graham of The Washington Post told a story in his autobiography. Once at the airport, she borrowed 10 cents from Buffett to make a pay phone call. Buffett put a 25-cent coin in his pocket, then turned around to get the money and called Buffett. Catherine said that she used a 25-cent coin to call, and Buffett was the coin that Catherine embarrassed.

Frugality is not a painful virtue.On the contrary, it can save people from contempt and insult, and get them through difficulties.It requires people to exercise restraint, but not to give up legal enjoyment.For the rich, frugality is a rare virtue; for the poor, frugality is not only a virtue, but also an essential responsibility.

After all, only a few people can get rich, but the vast majority of people have the ability to get rich, that is, hard work and frugality.For those who are poor, it is to be frugal every day, no matter how insignificant, the money he saves will be the source of his strength.It can provide him and his family with emergency means when they suffer from illness or despair in the future; it can provide solutions to the poverty they face in their later years.A person who knows how to be frugal is no longer the laughing stock of fate; he can face the world with his head held high.In a sense, he became his own master and was able to control his own destiny.

A person with a family must be ready to put family life in trouble in any case, as long as it is within his ability; his children and family should not become a burden on society, even after he has withdrawn from the stage of life or life labor.If a father spends a little extra money on alcoholism, and a mother spends a little extra money on extravagance and waste, and has no extra savings, when they die, they will be left to a poor family in society.If so, we can't help but think that this is the most selfish and irresponsible behavior in the world.

A smart and frugal person considers the future, and when he is lucky, he is ready to meet the disasters that may come to his family and himself; a mindless person, regardless of the future, regardless of tomorrow's difficulties, will spend all his income frantically.

People should accumulate wealth in their youth and middle age and live a comfortable and happy old age.There is nothing more sad and painful than seeing an old man who has spent most of his money-making years and is now reduced to begging from passers-by.Such a tragic episode will probably encourage people to decide early to work hard and save for the future, not only for themselves, but also for their families and future lives.

summary

Poverty is the enemy of happiness.It undoubtedly destroys people's free life, and it talks about human virtues and responsibilities.Determined to get rid of poverty.This should be the minimum goal for every poor person.

Frugality not only brings prosperity and peace, but also brings many benefits: it cultivates the habit of self-denial; it makes prudence a distinctive feature of man; it makes virtue the master of self-indulgence; it gives people a feeling of ease.
