It's also about reflecting your own values, such as remembering when you lived in less abundant times, not consuming more environmental or financial resources than you really need to, and demonstrating those values to other family members in the hope they are remembered.

Personally I stopped working 10 years ago and have plenty of financial resources, but I still take the train or bus as much as possible, or if I must drive, walk a block to avoid paying for parking. It has nothing to do with money and everything to do with living the values that I care about and trying to communicate those to our kids.
