    Maybe the average person. I am extremely good at saving money and have several programmed spreadsheets dedicated to my family’s budget, even after my salary jumped significantly.

    I practically doubled my life savings this week after inheriting some of my grandmother’s money. Straight to savings! ☝️🏦

    But yeah, I can see it happening to the average person.

      Good for you. Just don’t forget that money saved when you die was wasted time at work when you could have retired early. Of course you don’t know how long you will live so some leftover is guarenteed - but don’t overdo it (unless work is you life I guess)

        Sure. But I also have kids, so any money I save also goes to them upon my death, and/or my grandkids if I will have any. But thanks for the tip.
