My husband was on the phone with a friend of his today. During the conversation they were speaking of another friend of both of
theirs. Apparently this friend, who plays the stock market and has a great deal of money socked away, refuses to spend even a penny of it on anything he considers nonessential. There is no spending just to do something for fun or to buy something just because he or his wife might want it. He has taken frugalness to the limit. My question is this? Have we gotten so money hungry in this country we have forgotten how to have fun and that we truly can't take it with us? Is it a he who dies with the most marbles wins mentality or are there more people like my husband and myself out there who believe we work hard for our money and yes, we should save in case of emergency, but also money should be used to enjoy life a little. All comments are welcome.
