It’s inevitable. The higher it goes, the bigger the fall.
I like being poor. My basic needs are met, since we have always been frugal, have not a penny of debt, and don’t want luxuries or many things people consider necessities. We did scrimp and due to good fortune were able to buy s small acreage (of course I’d like something bigger, preferably adjoining national forest but if wishes were horses beggars would ride) and built as we lived on it. Of course if I somehow came into money I’d find uses for it, as well as the opportunity to donate to worthy causes. I”m not penniless, we had some $ for dental work earlier, but heck - there are always vet pliars!

Yeah, you sound really poor with that acreage, vanity dental work, tax-deductible donations, and retirement accounts. I bet you are really a poor guy taking personal offense to my original post.
