His book was one of several that helped me along the road to financial independence. May he rest in peace.

So sad
Sounds like road rage. Mr Stanley was probably turning too slow for the jerk behind him. Hope the guy gets all the punishment he deserves


There is some sad irony here, too. The street where the accident occurred, Paper Mill Rd, is easily one of the toniest in metro Atlanta. Nothing frugal about it. And Atlanta Country Club is home to some of the area's gawdiest and tackiest houses. Doubt many of these folks read his book.

How come looking poor and being poor are usually strongly correlated?
