That's not the right comparison. The reported spend level for that card is $250,000 a year. Spending 250K on a credit card annually is not living frugally.

"You get rich by saving what you have" is a nice feel-good story, but you get a lot richer by getting magnitudes more in income.

Thank you, this string was beginning to sound like r/personalfinance was leaking -- a place where people think they can save their way to ultra-wealth.

You can be frugal enough to live a comfortable middle class lifestyle -- but the people who are rich just make a ton more than you. That's it, that's the secret!

You do realize that AWS and GCP take credit cards? If it was just that you are already at sub $25k/mo.
