davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023

[davidd]

But I suppose one way you get to be a millionaire is saving money by shopping at thrift stores and Walmart??

I think the way you get to be a millionaire is to start out with a lot of money which seems to almost magically generate more money.

Until you get "a lot of money" the day-to-day ex'penses... like a little bag of birdseed... will eventually erode your capital.

I'm not sure anymore how much "a lot of money" is; that is, how much is enough that you don't end up spending it all just to get by.

As for the thrift stores: they have begun separating out "the good stuff" and retailing it at higher prices on eBay or other online outlets.

I believe it used to be possible to "get ahead" by saving a dollar her and a dollar there over time, but these days, inflation alone negates any savings unless the savings are being squirreled away at a prodigious rate and invested in a high-yield account of some kind.

Are you gonna put your house on the market? You'll have a lot more options when it comes to finding a new one if you have cash in your pocket.
