Well we have a Mercedes.....and a Jaguar. But we didn’t go to the lot and pay an exhorbitant price for a new one. We found them about 1 yr old, low mileage, and almost half price of new. We paid less for both cars than my cousin did for their new Toyota.
I’ve always shopped that way so have super nice stuff at the same price everyone else pays for normal stuff. I do the same thing for clothing. I wear top of the line stuff I buy off the clearance racks at Nordstrms, Saks,etc. most of my tops were originally marked around $100 but I usually pay around $10 for them you don’t have to spend alot of money to live well.

I did read Rich Dad Poor Dad but I couldn’t figure out how to do those genius things he did. It’s harder when you’ve spent 20 years having kids and didn’t plan for rough times....

Count yourself lucky. My 401k's YTD returns are -2.01% and -4.30%.
I'd do better in a savings account at 0.6%.

Sneak across the border then come back as an illegal?

Ive always shopped that way so have super nice stuff at the same price everyone else pays for normal stuff. Congrats! You sound like my wife. She loves bargain shopping, and never buys full price. All our furnishings were bought on sale or deep discount. And not cheap stuff, but real nice stuff, all were bought on sale. I hate seeing my friends want something and not try to bargain but just hand their wallet over. Crazy! And they are the ones who retired poor.

"but I couldn’t figure out how to do those genius things he did." You can and you don't need to do genius things. You need to find one thing you understand that produces cash flow. Do that. "It’s harder when you’ve spent 20 years having kids and didn’t plan for rough times.... I understand. I could give you my own list. I'm doing it.

Find me anyone who has seen a return of 7% for the past 7 years, or who has any realistic expectation of seeing it over the next 7...
