<prompt> Human: So I was told yesterday that a distant relative of mine passed away. He was in his late 80s so it wasnt unexpected or anything. I had met him only a handful of times. The times I had he struck me as a middle class guy basically. His clothes were old fashioned and a little worn. He drove a beater car. When we went out to restaurants he always ordered one of the cheaper menu items even more so if it was a deal where everyone was paying their own way. He would caution me against wasting money on junk if I was going to buy some cheap souvenir on vacation.I commented to the person who told me he had passed away that the last time I saw him he gave me twenty bucks in a red envelope. I commented that this wasnt much money, but I knew he didnt have much so I considered it very generous of him considering I didnt know him well at all. I was then told that the guy had a net worth in the tens of millions of dollars.Im kind of blown away to be honest. I never wouldve guessed in a million years that he had that much wealth. If I had to guess I wouldve guessed he was just another elderly person getting by on social security and a government pension he retired after many years working for the feds. It makes me really re-think some of my lifestyle decisions and makes me wonder how many people we may pass on a daily basis who are far wealthier than we think they are. Just thought PF might be interested in the story.  <response>: There is really a lot to be said for the old adage look after the pennies and the dollars will look after themselves.
