My husband and I have lived below our means for most of our marriage. Because of that, we are now in our mid-50s and don't work at all. Other than taking a decent vacation every year, we still don't do anything extravagant.
Because he was smart.
If you want to stay out of debt, you "live below your means" ... You save money from your income ... You don't spend more money than you make.
