"To live an extremely frugal life to build wealth."
What Actually Happened
A severance payout from a job I was let go from hit my account today and it has officially made me a frugal millionaire!
In 2017 I was completely broke and on food stamps. I landed my first job out of school at $35/hour and saved every penny I owned, I brought food to work, made meals from dollar tree ingredients, etc. I always raided work parties and took leftovers home, thrifted my clothes or wore hand me downs from friends.
By 2019 I had 40k saved and I bought a house with 2% down at 2.75%
