Then, as they get older, they have more and more health problems-often ignored in youth-and they become broken down millionaires. I’ve known 4 different couples in this situation. It’s sad and pathetic-and totally preventable if you HAVE PERSPECTIVE in your life. Life life, people. You’ll be dead a long time…

Thank you for taking the time to share your observations. What health problems, ignored in youth?

If you don’t spend some of it you can’t live life.

You wouldn't know as you aren't even a millionaire. As a MULTImillionaire I still have a strict budget. Stop trying to give advice to anyone, especially wealthier people.

@@tigerak02 There is a difference between having tight budget and being a tightwad. I have seen a millionaire friend trying to negotiate a price of a pound mango at a Vietnamese market back home. Nothing is wrong with trying to save money but that is just ridiculous.

Everyone's definition of "some" is different. Plenty of fun & enjoyable things to do w/o being extravagant.

They need couples therapy n things will fall into place.
