Perhaps you think that the most richest people in the world enjoying luxurious life, wearing expensive clothes, driving luxurious cars, eating in high class restaurants, being lazy in a cruise ship as well as enjoying other luxurious things. Bill Gates, one of the most richest people in the world worth at $57 billion in 2008. Another man who is also considered as one of the most richest people in the world named Ingvar Kamprad worth at $31 billion in 2008.
How come Ingvar Kamprad has large sum of money where most people in the world don't? He could achieve that as he does thrifty life. Although has so much money he still taking economical class, driving an old Volvo car, even he doesn't mind to waiting for hours to buy fruits and vegetables before the price go down. Sam Walton of Wal Mart considered as one of the most richest people in the world worth about $21 billion in 2008. He is well known by other as a person who like to share his space with others when doing business trip to reduce the cost, flying with economical class, even wearing discount clothes that sold in his own discount stores.
Another great example is Warren Buffet. In march 2008, the Forbes magazine estimated his net worth at $62 billion, making him the richest person in the world. Despite has great sum of money, he has never bought a new car, driving his own car, have never abused his driver, even he has never taken his own private jet plane although he has the biggest jet plane in the world until now. He still living in his small home with 3 rooms that he bought 50 years ago. "I've everything in my home," he said. Regarding to Thomas Staley, he was surprised after interviewed 733 American multi billionaires as they do thrifty life and none of them spend for more than $399 for clothes, they don't drive the newest car, even most of them driving local made car which the age is more than 10 years. Lessons we can learn from them is they achieve wealthy because they do very thrifty life and do life under their standard. Thrifty and stingy are completely two different things.
P.S. I'm practicing English Writing intensively to take TOEFL test. Any correction is greatly appreciated /no1
