Blindness Quote

Quotes about restraint

Wealth is the nice cars not purchased. The diamonds not bought. The watches not worn. The clothes forgone and the first-class upgrade declined - Morgan Housel
The core message is brutally simple: Wealth is what you don't see. It's the unspent money, the deferred gratification, the financial potential you've chosen to preserve instead of convert into status symbols.
