(And, yes, they excel at living beneath their means. I know a retired architect who lives in a modest neighborhood and rents out his spare bedrooms - and the car he drives is right out of the book!) Frugality and discipline won't get a minimum-wage earner anywhere close to the top 1%, and I didn't see any low earners in the book.
