In the HBO Becoming Warren Buffett documentary, Susie Buffett shared a story that gives a glimpse into her father's frugality. This wasn't the first time she had discussed it. Back in 2011, a Globe and Mail article mentioned that Susie once asked her father for a $41,000 loan to renovate her kitchen after she had a baby. She needed to make room for the high chair, but Warren's response was to tell her to "go to the bank like everyone else."
By 2017, Susie revisited the well-known kitchen story, explaining that she wasn't asking for a handout. "I thought I was asking for a loan. I was not asking him to give me the money," she said. His refusal still caught her by surprise. "I thought, oh come on, can’t you do this?" she shared
