I also grew up in a very frugal family. I wouldn't say that we were poor, but I've always had to account down to each dollar if I wanted something.
While trying to make millions of dollars sounds like constant hardship and labor, it's actually the fight that we have to win if we want true freedom. For a few decades, at least. They say $5mm is the new $1mm.
I think true, hardcore entrepreneurship is just the process of getting ALL of the work of a lifetime finished upfront - rather than spreading it out throughout a lifetime. This will obviously still take anywhere from 5-15 years.
Lifestyle design/the 4-hour-workweek thing is still an awesome way to live in my opinion...but you run into the "coconut cash" conundrum. I.E. you get lazy.
