I remember a story about a secretary in New York. She had the same job all her life, never lived extravagantly, saved and invested, and left behind several million dollars when she died.

I do think that the moral of this story is the “saved compulsively” part.

Many people could have a lot more in the bank if they saved with even a little more enthusiasm and creativity.
