You’d think a Buffett would live in a mansion. Nope. Howard and Devon live in a modest farmhouse in Illinois. Seriously—it’s not a palace. It’s a real home with creaky floors and probably a muddy porch for boots.
This echoes Warren Buffett’s famous advice: “Don’t spend what you have, save what you earn.” But applied to a marriage, it’s even sweeter. They’ve chosen a life that’s comfortable, not extravagant. They buy used cars. They fix things instead of replacing them.
Last year, Howard bought a vintage John Deere tractor and restored it himself. Devon probably just shook her head and smiled. That’s the energy. It’s like when your partner brings home a janky piece of furniture from a flea market—and you both love it because it has character.

You won’t find Howard and Devon on red carpets. They don’t do reality TV. Their Instagram? Probably just photos of sunsets over cornfields. They guard their privacy fiercely, not because they’re snobby, but because they genuinely prefer a quiet life.
This is rare in our 24/7 news cycle. In a world where everyone wants to “go viral,” they chose to go unnoticed. It’s actually refreshing, like finding a coffee shop with no Wi-Fi. You think, “Wow, people still do this?”
For everyday readers, this is a gentle reminder: a happy marriage isn’t about being seen. It’s about being together. Howard and Devon show us that the best love stories are the ones you don’t see on the news.
