It’s a state of mind. The CEO of the fortune 100 company drove a 12 yr old

Car. I worked the guy in the late 1980s-mid 1990s when he had his ancient Accord as an executive vp until he was promoted to CEO and had full-time security and only limos. It’s not that he’s a skin flint. He’s donated more than $600,000,000 to his undergrad and grad schools. ** Edited by Va AandM at 6/14/2026, 6:03:15 PM

The millionaires I know buy a new car once every 5 or 6 years and pay cash.
