way to save buddy

wow...750K wasn't good enough? A fool and his money.


At least he didn't go Madoff.

 

[Mike man]

750k per year is generational wealth income...

 

[doh]

I find my self completely dry eyed. Go figure.

 

[Max Powers]

Yep dry eyed here in fact I have a smile on my face imagine that.........This country has great karma. The real producers and creators will get back in the driver's seat as we pull ourselves out of mistakes made from 8 years previous.

Whoever would of thought a one time CEO and Hedge fund wanna be is worth 8 bucks and hour plus tip? It isn't a shock to me.

 

[JoeMerchant]

I'm sure we will bail him out too.....He made 750K and now we are paying for his food stamps....He made financial decisions....He could sell his home.....

 

[N2264J]

He could sell his home.....

Yeah, at a loss. Obviously, this guy is way upside down.

Actually, every dollar spent in food stamps creates $1.80 in economic activity so more people benefit from food stamps than his family.

Just because the hole is on his side of the boat doesn't mean you're not going to get wet.

First priority: fix the integrity of the boat. And before you respond
with - "WWII is what got us out of the Great Depression," be prepared to explain to me why a world war is not a huge government spending program.

I guess it doesn't matter how much you earn if you spend more than you make. There's a lot to be said for living well within your means, staying away from debt and saving something for a rainy day. That guy made enough money that he and his family could have been set for life no matter what happened if they had been willing to live a normal, middle-class lifestyle without the castle, country club memberships and expensive vacations. I don't think he's going to get much sympathy in this economy. Americans of all income levels are going to learn some tough lessons about what they can actually afford from this downturn. All the consumer debt was bound to catch up with us sooner or later.

He made 750K a year....He should have saved more and spent less...Too bad...so sad....

His inability to prepare for a downturn on 750K a year, does not constitute an emergency on my part...

 

[Mike man]

I could pay all my bills, mortgage, car payments, save some money and still have extra money for more than 10 years if we had 750,000 in the bank (not taking into account taxes). What a (rhymes with) lick.

 

[DOVPILOT]

you reap what you sow...so he ain't got SH!T. I feel sorry for his kids

If govt. spending is so great, how come only 32 cents of each Social Security dollar actually finds its way to a recipient?

To be sure, this guy has problems.

But over 60% of the troubled mortgages in this mess qualified for a standard 30 year fixed loan. There's a lot of good reasons for keeping those people in their homes.

And throw a bunch of food stamps at whoever qualifies, ferchristsake. They probably have kids and it creates a lot of economic activity.

This isn't going to be like a normal recession. If the government is not allowed to stimulate the economy, people who should know are saying the metaphor of "the great depression" will be inadequate to describe the breath and depth of the carnage.

Me? I'm looking to woo an Amish woman in the hopes that her family will take me in.

In WWII people actually went and worked to earn their money. These days people just want the handout from the gub'ment for doing nothing. The can-do attitude in WWII is what got our country moving, and is what many are sorely lacking today.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

Is this some kind of sick joke? How dare they accept food stamps while ensconced with such material wealth. AND 100K in CC debt? - Haven't paid their mortgage in 2 yrs? This sure doesn't mimic the average Americans financial tribulations.

While Dad delivers the pizzas, maybe Mom could sell her (his really) silicone on eBay.
