I am long time friends with several self made millionaires in the since that they have assets worth several million dollars...but some of them fall short of having an annual income of a million dollars or above. All of them have one thing in common...they do not flaunt their wealth...and would not appear to be millionaires to those that did not know otherwise.
All of them dress in very casual clothes...all of them have relatively modest homes (they could have live in much more expensive homes)...all of them have relatively inexpensive vehicles...and do not automatically buy a new vehicle every year. Most of them have relatively inexpensive boats...(they could have yachts)...most of them have somewhat expensive motor homes (as do I). A couple have small airplanes. They all are down to earth (family types...not play boys...don't have any serious vices) and all of them bargin shop...and are not loose with their money.
They all live as they choose to live and buy what they choose to buy but also are somewhat frugal...they will leave behind handsome inheritances for their families.

signs of a person who knows how to enjoy their life but not take for granted what took so long to make. is it safe to say that those people you know are giving (but not to an extreme) to others such as family members and the like?
