Live Like a Frugal Billionaire: 20 Tax Day Deals
If you want to live like a billionaire, live below your means. That’s the message in Forbes’ profile of frugal billionaires Warren Buffett, Carlos Slim, Ingvar Kamprad, Chuck Feeney and Frederik Meijer. All five of these money-making marvels are perhaps more aptly titled money-saving rockstars – whether it’s living in the same modest home for 50 years or driving the same old car for 15.
Though Buffet, Slim, Kamprad, Feeney and Meijer may not venture out to take advantage of April 15 tax day deals, it’s certainly in the same vein of making every effort to keep your spending to a minimum.
