Interesting.

Maybe the amount of people here that said SAVE is an indication of the type of people we are as business men (and women)? Maybe it is a common trait of business people?

(although I'm partial to cars, most of the rest gets saved).
Who knows CC - I've known people with more money than 99.99% here and they are just reckless and.. really bad business people. Basically they ended up with money thru being in a certain place at the right time - then proceed to lose the lot and file for bankruptcy.

The traditional "plodder" biz person who works hard to does all the right things, is at least usual stable - tho many never earn massive amounts.

Then there's the "career moneymaker" - work long hours - ignore, or get someone else to sort the detail - very sharp and usually trained at some point. They can earn "extreme millions" - in excess of a $1 bill. Know two of them and neither actually "likes" the work/stress they are under - but it's almost like drugs to them. Typically they will tell how they are going to "retire" - but rarely do

Suppose generally they all have a tendency to "save" on whatever scale matches their comfort level.
