Money magazine is a mix of aspirational and educational for those who are not yet rich but willing to either follow the basic advice to get there or take a more risky path to get there. For most Money magazine readers a million dollars is an end goal instead of a starting point, but they have articles for people on each step of the wealth building journey.
I am also in love with the idea of being rich. Frugality is like waiting in line for a roller coaster. Not too enjoyable but the thrill at the end is worth it.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but with this outlook you will likely not be truly rich, at least not for long.
No matter how much money you make your appetite for consumption will grow to overwhelm it. I caught myself in this trap about 5 years ago. I was making *high* six figures most years, and over 7 figures in some years. This was more then I ever imagined in my wildest dreams. We saved reasonably well, but a funny thing happened - I started desiring ever more expensive things. Fancy bikes at first, then jewelry, expensive vacations, fancier and sportier cars, then bigger more expensive houses. Fortunately I caught myself at the car stage (before getting too crazy) and started reducing consumption while still making the big bucks, which enabled me to hit FIRE last year. I was able to make a change because I realized that at my previous consumption levels, I would never be able to hit financial independence - I would always be working for the man to buy more shit. You simply have to save too much in order to sustain a high consumption lifestyle on passive income. Frugality is what allows you to build your wealth, and it is also what allows you to keep it.
I highly recommend reading "Your Money or Your Life" and "The Millionaire Next Door" and to think differently about frugality and wealth.
