Many wealthy individuals maintain their wealth by adopting frugal spending habits similar to those of the less affluent. They also prioritize continuous investment, whereas some poorer individuals tend to spend extravagantly without focusing on long-term investments, often attempting to impress those who are already wealthy.

Exactly! My grandparents were so frugal but they had a TON of money on both sides. I remember my grandfather telling me "you want to make money while you sleep." And I guess that attitude passed down to my dad (RIP), because I remember going to his house one day and I had bought something I really liked, so I wanted to show it to him. So I said "Look at this! Isn't it cute? It was on sale...I saved 50%!" My dad replied "Well, if you're spending, you're not saving." Obviously I had no retort, and that has always stuck with me.

Saving and investing wisely while prioritizing necessities and a few small luxuries in relation to one's total assets is a great approach. It helps ensure financial stability and I my for the enjoyment of life's little pleasures without compromising long-term financial goals. It's all about finding a balance that works for you!

This is a by product of capitalism, it can be seen in every aspect of amarican business at this point. The idea that a company should be able to grow indefinitely is an unrealistic expectation that causes industry to cut quality in the pursuit of 5% more profit. And next year they will need to find a way to cut an extra 5% on top of that, and so on forever. Eventually you reach the max number of customers you can get. It's the only way to "grow" after that

If you like SPONGES On a Bun, it's a place for you. No Thank you. Let me Add that in 1967 when the Big Mac first came onto the menu. It was 45 cents Real meat, really good until about the 1980's. Then Not good since. And Now, REDICULIOUS PRICES. Such a shame. 😅
If you are looking to save money on fast food .you clearly don't know what you are doing.
GREEDY ! They could have all the time
Red Lobster was bought by a larger company so that they could offload their debt onto it. That's not Red Lobster's fault but the investors who bought it to hurt it.
stopped eating at those places years ago. I cook my own food !
We used to go to McDonald's a couple times a week but because of the prices, we broke from that habit and never looked back, better off for it.
Here’s an idea, buy groceries and cook them. I’m a broke PhD student with two part time jobs and a bearded dragon. If I can do it so can you.
Too little, too late! The extreme rise in prices isn't from inflation-it's price gouging, and I refuse to ever go back there because of it. Well, that and the food sucks, but that's a different matter altogether. lol

Naa I’m done with fast food it’s supposed to be cheap not like a restaurant I’m over you guys take the hint us Americans are done
Keep charging more and more and as far as I am concerned ALL these slow food places can close. They aren't fast food anymore judging by how long you wait for your expensive order. White Castle around my parts are THE slowest places when placing and getting an order. Not unusual to wait a minimum 10 - 15 minutes in line at the drive thru or even going in and ordering.
We need to cook at home it better anyway
Here's your $5 value meal. 1.5 oz slider, dixie cup of soda, and 6 french fries.
I've read the $5 meal might be something like a double cheeseburger, fries and a soft drink. How much difference is that from buying the items separately? In-N-Out in my part of the world (Calif.) has the meal menu (1, 2, or 3). They're the same price as if bought separately. The #2 (cheeseburger, fries and drink), is about $8.75 (plus tax) in L.A. It's their equivalent to a Big Mac Meal. It went up about 15 cents when the $20 minimum wage started. No biggie. It's not some big catastrophe that political commentators were barfing about.

I told myself in my younger days I won't become one of those old people who reminisce about the "Good Ole Days" :-))! But man! Back in '86 a regular size Big Mac meal was $2.99
I guarantee you in an effort to save money to make their meals a little bit more affordable. No one in McDonald’s or any of the fast food chains is considering the idea of no pay increases for management or executives
McDonald's is like eating crap now and has been for several years. Can't believe people are willing to spend as much as they do to eat at places like this. BTW - anybody find any meat on those Big Macs? All lettuce and thousand island dressing. More like a salad on a bun, lol

The meat is ground donkey dicks.
It’s not even worth 5 dollars! Notice when you have McDonald’s food in your car it has that weird smell.
Where I live there's a legit seafood restaurant that makes the best fish-n-chips you'll ever eat for $9.99 while there's a McDonalds right across the street selling their crap "Value Meals" for $15 and people actually go there??? .... smh...
“Amid with?” Do you have grade schoolers edit for you now, abc?
They could wrap their Big Macs in hundred dollar bills and I'd still never eat their crap.
Mc Donald's shoulda adapted to the high inflation situation long time ago, to secure consumer loyalty among its lowest income demographic. This would ensure higher traffic, stable income stream and a more sustainable future. Waiting to the point where you see a decline on your earnings, is a huge strategic error and created alot of missed opportunities. Mc Donalds should strive for services that satisfy a diverse audience, even if that means offering menus at a loss. Short term losses can drive longterm profits.

McDonald's is becoming expensive! Many of the customers are low-income, and McDonald's is a cheaper option for food vs. healthy food. It used to be that it was cheaper for a low-income families to buy McDonald's for every meal (hello, obesity) than buying groceries. With McDonald's becoming more expensive I wonder what low-income consumers are eating. Our world is so screwed up.

I can make 4 or 5 of my homemade Big Macs for the price of their $20 "value" meal. Fast food is a ripoff. And unhealthy as fk.
Too little, too late for me. I’m a middle income person, but I won’t spend that much on food that’s bad for me. I cook almost everything at home now, fresh and healthy.
After at least 20 years of eating mcdonalds I have stopped because they getting expensive. Value meal used to be like 5euro. Now almost 8 and they don't give coffee with it. And I used to go like 3 times a week. No more. Make better food at home now. Your loss guys.
Should read mcdonald's will be introducing SHRINKFLATION 5 dollar meals. Really, can you trust Mcdonald's anymore?
Big Mac meal, large, near me is $11.49 in California.
It will be shrinkflation for the $5 meal and that will quickly transition to the rest of the menu, everything will continue to shrink. One 1/4 ounce at a time a year, no one knows, easy profits derived for shareholders. The ponzi continues.
How can you get smaller then a child’s meal Not much in that And no more free refills if eat inside
From a company that made 19 billion last year I don't really feel bad for them actually I feel ashamed for them for their greed how do they sleep at night knowing people are starving and that's their only way that they would eat

If you don’t believe someone should make a living wage from a job, then don’t EVER ask them to provide you with the service you want, in the way or condition you want.
Sure, but they will use more fillers and crap ingredients in the discounted meals so they can maintain their profit margin. It's the way of their world. Boycott the whole nasty business.
Can i just buy 3 french fries? Its all i can afford. Nor the whole overpriced bag just three damn fries.
Sales should drop due to the poison that they serve!
When I saw staffs handling food with their bare hands in the open kitchen and I though it was just one location. But no they are now using bare hands to handle cooked food. Then it is no different than going to way cheaper street corner restaurants. Eventually they will flip their restaurants into A.I robot cooks with only 2 human employees to stay competitive.
Probably going to be bite size notice the wight size of the patty
It aint no big max quarter. Pounders, for lathere's Vallejo fishes, it's their dollar menu. The mcdoubles, which used to be a dollar their processed chicken Patty and 4 chicken nuggets, a coconut nasty French fries, which aint even made with beef tallow. No more, at least you can get wapper juniors. And real burgers at heart ease.And you can get a decent meal at Wendy's.5 for 54 for 5 you got 4 chicken nuggets.A hamburger fries in a coke at wendy's 45 bucks
A little too late. McDonald’s is on the right side of the curve and declining fast.
look at any pre-1980 photograph of a large crowd. count the number of overweight and obese people. lay off the processed slop aka fast food
This is what happens when you give a part time/first time job a living wage of $15 per hour. Fastg food and such was never meant to be a career goal but a first job for a kid before moving on to a real job.
