They occupy themselves worrying about money.
life a frugal life.
when you have a good year, stash some away. when you
have a bad year, rough it as much as you can so you
don't get into your stash. after a few years you have
enough to invest. keep doing this. within 20yrs you
can retire if you keep living a simple life.
children and wife, complicates things, but put 'em
to work if they get too complacent or spoiled.

Â* Reminds me of the story about the Iowa farmer who won a million
dollar lottery . When asked what he was planning on doing now that he
was a millionaire he replied "I reckon I'll just keep on farmin' until
it's all gone." .
