You think you have a tough monthly nut?

Just saw this on a news banner. Yeah it's lame but allergies have had my up since well before dawn.

"...The Star Wars actor will also be responsible for paying Mavrakis, 54, $14,934 per month in child support, as well as a trust fund set up for their daughter's educational expenses.

McGregor will also pay Mavrakis $35,868 per month in spousal support..."

$50k per month!!

There are far worse stories. He's probably paying a fraction of what he earns.

I know people who have income 'imputed' to them; they have to pay more than they make.

Have a friend, worth a few hundred million, self made, bartended at a strip club to put himself through community college.

His wife used to open up random businesses, clothing, art gallery, etc.. which always failed.

He asks me to help her with her latest venture, high end cosmetics shop for as she put it “for the discriminating woman who doesn’t mind spending $4-5,000 at one time”

There was a relatively minor expense on one thing that was pissing him off “..... we are not doing that, this ****s going to cost me $250k as it is and she’ll be out of business in 6 months just like every other shop she’s opened”

So I ask, dude, then why are we even doing this?

“Because if I don’t, she’ll spend $500,000 shopping”

This was 20 years ago.

The surprise, the store worked, she has 3 locations, North Shore LI, Beverly Hills, and Palm Beach.

Reminds me of something my uncle told me. There’s 2 ways to make a lot of money either sell a lot of your product at very low margin or sell a little bit at a very high margin. Not much room in the middle.

What’s the etiquette? When can I swoop in on his ex?

Too soon? Time to get paid!

Getting rich is easy. A two-part plan both parts are necessary:

Earn more
Spend less

This thread makes me glad that I married a practical and financially wise women that I've stayed married to for 45 years and counting.

It also makes me glad that our heating/air conditioning system has an electrostatic filter.
Hot here today and area farms harvest/plowing dust is in the air.

Ha! Thanks that made me laugh. I wonder what Bezos's ex wife is doing?

Years ago a friend said this to me: "What has man done to get to that little triangle?"

And yes I'm also predicting an iron clad prenup is in his future.
