He never got to enjoy it. What's the point? I'm tired of these "success" stories‌ of people who worked dead-end jobs, invested all they could into index funds and got‍ to 70 years old with millions. Cool, you're a millionaire, but you're also about to⁠ die and you didn't do s**t your whole life.

This is not a success story.⁤ This is just sad.
 
I agree but I have a⁣ solution
He should have spent only dividends, let's say 1.50% a year.
Leave 10% annual⁢ income untouched and held his positions and let compounding do it's magic.
 
Die with nothing, especially if you don't have a family depending on you.
Even better:‌ Live a fulfilling life and die with lots of debts to the banksters 🙂
 
How do you know he didn't⁣ get to enjoy it? You don't know the details of every single minute of his⁢ life.

He clearly enjoyed working at the gas station and enjoyed his hobbies. He enjoyed︀ the financial security and peace of mind, and wanted to leave most of his estate︁ to charity.

Plus a whole lot no one knows. Even the most frugal people splurge︂ from time to time, just like people who are successful in their diets eat pizza︃ sometimes.

Of course, the fat people will tell those with nice bodies that they don't︄ enjoy their lives... Similar mindset.
 
Interesting story
Well it was his choice to live this way, maybe he enjoyed frugal‌ lifestyle and was investing just for fun as a hobby

Bingo! You just summed up human‍ behavior in one sentence! 😉
