<prompt> Human: Ive been reading large sections of The Millionaire Next Door along with commentary and Im left wondering what the author intends for people to do with their millions once obtained.In the book he strongly advises against wealthy parents providing lavishly for their children, calling it Economic Outpatient Care. Yet he strongly advises us against flashy and lavish consumerism as well. On what exactly does he intend for his readers to spend their cool millions?Something else the author seems to neglect is the worth of youth. Apparently were to be frugal and laborious in the years best equipped to enjoy an extravagant lifestyle if affordable.Am I reading this right? Does the author ever make suggestions of constructive uses of money besides to make more money?  <response>: He is trying to point out general lifestyle trends and differences between people who are good savers and those who are not. Nowhere does he advocate hording your money until you die. If you have reached a point in your life that you are comfortable with your finances for the future, go ahead and spend a bit. The idea is to avoid being a slave to debt, reaching retirement age, and then not have any options.
