Today, two of them are at home raising families and spending the cash. The other married and got divorced.
So you have gold diggers in your family.

Incidentally, women don't consider men to be frugal, it's "cheap" and that is considered a major negative, certainly not a virtue.
Back then there were not 401K's either. They had pensions. How can you be rich without frugality?

The clever and women who are in the finance industry would go for frugal men. The dumb ones go for guys who they 'think' are rich just because they have a large house and a luxury car. Dumb and good looking girls do not know how money works and cannot differentiate between an asset and liability.

You can be rich without frugality if you annual income exceeds 5 million after taxes ect.

I agree. I rather earn my money then be given to me. You will value that money and save/invest wisely.

Even Obama comes from a Middle Class family.
No, they themselves weren't good at it. In both situations their parents were managing their assets. One of them told me once they didn't want to be bothered with the responsibility and dad was "better at it." He was 30 when he told me this.

Not if the taxpayer is spending $5 Million a year.

Or they can pay someone to manage it.

There isn't really a need to spend that much a year until you get into the higher brackets. When you are making 5M a year the idea is to save up that money and then live off the interest. After two years, assuming you don't spend a dime you would have 10M and then with the average return of say 12% annual return you would have 1M a year plus your annual income to live off of/invest for more interest.

It is exponential.

There is a reason why the rich get richer.
