Over the weekend the media reported that Mel Gibson spends 600,000 A MONTH on living expenses. A MONTH! Yeah, yeah, I know there are wealthier people who spend more. That's not what this is about. What I was wondering is, what do you spend 600k on every month? I want someone to do a TV show about that. I want to know what the rich and famous actually spend their money on. And what are their "living expenses"? To me, that means your mortgage, utilities, cars/insurance, food, and any credit card bills you might have. That doesn't include travel or entertainment or clothes (unless you have kids). Honestly, what does Bill Gates spend his money on every month? How about Donald Trump? Or Kobe Bryant? Do they give themselves an allowance to buy clothes and/or jewelry? Okay, so they probably don't have an actual grocery bill, but what do they spend eating out every month? See, I think I'm being terribly extravagant if I go to Costco and spend $200 every few months. Or if we go to Maggiano's and spend $60 bucks on dinner. And I ask myself occasionally, would I really spend $200/$300 on a purse? The answer...a resounding NO. I found one I fell in love with recently on sale for $150. Could I afford it? Yup. But try as I might, I just couldn't find a way to justify spending $150 on a purse! So I would like to know why it costs so much to be wealthy. Uh huh, we've all had those, "If I were rich" thoughts. But would you really? Does it just become 2nd nature to spend 2 grand on a purse or a 100k on a car? That so weird!
On a side note, Chuck's daughter brought me a big bag of candy pumpkins this morning! :-)
It's not even close to Halloween but it sure made me smile.
