You guys who need millions are crazy to me,
Different lifestyles. I'm frugal like you (I'm a rice and beans guy, and I prefer cheap vacations to lavish ones - the cheap ones are usually funner anyway), but I've seen the type of lifestyle changes that can lead to insanely different spending habits - big city dual-income couples with kids pretty much have no option but to earn like crazy because their expenses will be ridiculous.

My sister and brother-in-law aren't going out for weekly steak dinners, but they are spending like $1,000 a month on their dog. Thousands and thousands a month on their two kids. Their costs are beyond the pale to me, but their daily quality of life is hardly different than mine.
