Rich people tend to know how to save, but more importantly I think they know how to invest. They make their money work for them even when they are not working. Rich people make money while they sleep. Other than that, I'm not sure I can say much else about them. I don't know too many rich people.

Kind of a "frugaler than thou" thing. I think also there comes a point where the non-spending becomes just as ostentatious as the big-spending. Kind of a “frugaler than thou” thing.

They are big savers. It’s funny that the general mythology around the rich is that they are big spenders, but the reality is that many are not. They are big savers.

The most popular vehicle among the millionaires surveyed for the book: Ford F150 truck and the six dollars for taking the survey was the incentive for these people to take the survey. Interesting stuff. Among my reading rotation is The Millionare Next Door - which confirms pretty much what the ABC article says.
