Living Rich on a Teacher's Budget
July 3, 2007
As a Tai Chi instructor, my friend JG makes a modest income. But by investing and spending wisely, he lives like a king. He has a beautiful house in a great neighborhood - one he bought very smartly and very much below market when the market was cheap. He drives a luxury car that he leases for practically nothing. He wears high-quality clothes that he buys for bargain-basement prices. He and his wife have some kind of summer membership at the Palm Beach Yacht Club. We enjoy dinner with them there several times a year, seated in an elegant overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. The way JG looks, the way he carries himself, the way he is treated by the staff - you would think he makes a hundred times more than he actually does.
