*** Millionaire Next Door ***

An interesting millionaire we recently interviewed tries to avoid using subjective dimensions when making product purchases. He half jokingly suggests using weight as a dimension.

So let's see. a custom suit in wool weighs about 3 pounds or 48 ounces. So, for a $2,000 suit, the cost is $666.67 a pound or $41.67 per ounce.

This is more than the cost per pound of the top-of-the-line Ferrari ($175).
