Ok let's try this again....

Yo that's weird as hell...I typed a little over a paragraph out and when I clicked to post it nothing showed up...I guess it showed blank for everyone else too because of the responses

...anyways what I originally posted is below.

My supervisor and I were talking at work the other night and we were talking about how we will never understand how celebrities, athletes, etc blow through millions and millions of dollars. Mike Tyson (earned 300-400 million)...Scottie Pippen (earned 120 million) Michael Jackson (was supposedly in 400 million dollars worth of debt when he died....and the list goes on and on with names of people. I don't know everyone of their stories but it still blows my mind how you blow through millions! I understand maybe having to help family members out and of course everyone wants to buy nice stuff for themselves.  Most of the time when I read about the stories I don't even feel bad because of the stuff they spent their money on....crazy to me.

Yeah I think it does have to do with moochers and having to take care of family. Also probably the more money you have, the more it doesn't mean much to you so they probably spend their money on worthless things just for the heck of it.

Yeah I had a couple of them nights....SMH

.....when you think of it on a scale like that it's crazy

...but it's crazy to think that most of these people don't think maybe I should put something to the  side or slow down spending until it's too late....some might not even think of that at all.

It's simple the more money you make the more you up your cost of living.

Become wealthy, keep your cost of living relatively low compared to what you are earning and you will be GOOD.

More money, more problems.

The bigger the money you have, the bigger your means of living becomes.

If your income changes the slightest bit while you're living "at means" in that state, you're losing a lot.

Poor money management... and once you start spending like crazy it takes alot of discipline to not buy everything you want.
