Dave Ramsey talks about it in some of his books. Basically, if you live a few years like other people don't, you can hopefully save up enough money to put a large down payment on a house, and to live without a car payment (unlike most people!). This alone will save you tons of money and will put a person onto a good financial path. I don't even see it as deprivation. Even if I was a multimillionaire, I'd still prefer picnics with my wife over expensive restaurants. Sure, we'd go to some restaurants occasionally, but the primary reason I want riches is for security. I agree with this concept. Dave Ramsey talks about it in some of his books.

I feel it's all about the choices we make. Wealth and success are measured in so many ways. Great post. I see why there are successfull people in this world.
