You Cannot Handle The Stress
Sweet baby Jeebus with a trust fund, the rich have it tough:
“People who don’t have money don’t understand the stress,” said Alan Dlugash, a partner at accounting firm Marks Paneth & Shron LLP in New York who specializes in financial planning for the wealthy
Here’s an example:
Scheiner said he spends about $500 a month to park one of his two Audis in a garage and at least $7,500 a year each for memberships at the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester and a gun club in upstate New York. A labradoodle named Zelda and a rescued bichon frise, Duke, cost $17,000 a year, including food, health care, boarding and a daily dog-walker who charges $17 each per outing, he said.
I mean, how do you prioritize on such limited means?
“I can’t imagine what I’m going to do,” Schiff said. “I’m crammed into 1,200 square feet. I don’t have a dishwasher. We do all our dishes by hand.” … The family rents a three-bedroom summer house in Connecticut and will go there again this year for one month instead of four.
Anyway, if you feel like shedding a few tears over how bad the 1% has it, Bloomberg has more of their belt-tightening tales of woe.
Well, I guess they will just have to tighten that Peasant hide belt and buck it up.
That’s exactly why I’d like to win the lottery. To prove all that money won’t spoil me.
Well, if life is so tough for these poor privileged dears, I ‘ll be happy to trade them my one mortgaged house in the ‘burbs and my old Subaru for all that stressful stuff….
Dishes by hand? It’s 1847 Alabama all over again.
If you think you’ve got it bad, imagine the life of your dog walker who only gets $17.00 for walking you overfed, obviously phycotic dogs.
Go to their website and you’ll learn this is the 30th largest accounting firm in the country. This guy’s a partner? And he has all this pressure? If he’s this bad with his own money imagine the shitty job he does for the clients.
This is why Mittens wakes up every morning, sits up on the edge of his bed, looks down at his feet and says,”Hi Guys – which one of you wants to get put into my mouth today!?!?” He lives in a world so far removed from the reality of most Americans that he (and his 1% brethren) have absolutely no clue as to what WE worry about and struggle with.
Pile that onto his constant assertions that Obama is “disconnected from the lives of the middle class,” and try not to punch out your computer monitor…
man – you mean i cant wipe my ass with the $100 bills anymore!

I recommend what US rep Judy Biggert of Illinois’s 13th congressional district said several months ago in a public forum held to discuss the ‘house crisis’ in her home town Hinsdale IL (one of the wealthiest communities in the state).
* Buy these empty properties and resell them at a profit.
* Although it’s easy to get, don’t borrow from your trust funds, there may be penalties.
* Never invest your own money in real estate deals, banks are now able to
help us again and they’re very willing to keep money in the community.
* Where’s that little colored girl with my half-caf mocha with skim – she did not add.
And I agree.
Where is MY half-cal mocha America, where indead
Mr. Burns -
When I was working in L.A., one of the axioms of producing movies was to “never gamble with your own money,” or so I was told by my friends in the industry (I was in advertising, what did I know?), and that’s what this sounds like to me.

Bruce388: And he probably charges $400/hour for his advice and supervision of the worker bee young accountants who probably work twice as hard for 1/5th of the salary.
