There's a bit of an [ant and grasshopper](https://read.gov/aesop/052.html) vibe here. If someone is spending on a lavish lifestyle without saving for the future, they're really living beyond their means -- even if their bank balance isn't going negative.

To me, wealth is security of lifestyle. I don't buy lavish things, but I can buy everything I actually want right now, and continue to do so indefinitely. Thus, I consider myself wealthy though I don't even own a car, let alone a fancy one. Part of it is tempering what you want, of course. It's a bit of a Buddhist idea, that the root of unhappiness is not in missing out on things you want, but the wanting of those things in the first place.

When I was a teenager I met a couple who'd retired early (in their 50s) to live off their investments. I asked the secret and was told "we don't like *spending* money, we like *having* money". That little line has stuck with me my whole life.
