  1. I think she's a fine looking woman who obviously takes care of herself. However, unless it's just the photos, she does look a bit older than her 47 years.

  2. I think the woman is a complete moron. No wonder she has a job at a bank. They seem to only employ idiots who can't control theirs or anyone else's money for that matter. Shes not in a tight spot, shes a spoiled c$#t who doesn't want to be resposible enough of a mother of 3 children to maybe cut back on things and live a different lifestlye.

  3. I don't know if having a sizeable blind spot makes her a complete moron, but she is evidently living in denial or in anticipation of an improvement in her finances of some kind. However, that special something, whatever it may be, had better come soon otherwise she will slowly boil alive.

    If you have ever overstayed a losing position to your considerable detriment then you can surely understand how difficult it must be to walk away from an entire lifestyle, however unsustainable it may be. I'm not defending her choices. I think they're wrong. Personally, I would not opt for the lifestyle she has chosen unless I was making a fair multiple of her income, which is why I'm guessing her ex must have been the larger earner of the two. I'm just trying to empathize with her unfortunate inability to let go.

  4. Sorry, Gnome. This is crap. I make that type of money in the corporate environment and it is much better than when I made $100k. The reason?? I don't go out and buy an Audi TT just because I make a much higher salary. I save the money. Re: Millionaire Next Door.

    I downsized my house. I got rid of the fourth car., etc. I don't need a McMansion just because every other idiot is doing it.

    I used to have a two acre 4000 sq foot new house in a nice NJ suburb paying 16k in taxes or so a year.

    Now I drive my six year old Jeep Wrangler and live in a nice townhouse in Baltimore making the same money I made in Jersey and my taxes/mortgage, etc is less than half what I paid in Jersey.

    It's about expenditures, NOT taxes. I'm not saying taxes aren't a problem, but you CAN have a better life at 250 than 100 - a much better one. Truth is that most at 100 can have a better life there too if they were smart enough to do something about it.

  7. before I would have just taunted her mistakes,

    but these days looking at her story, she is trying very hard to uphold the family in her own way , maybe its not the best way, holding onto a 2.5 million house instead of heading to woodside,NY and purchasing a 4bedroom coop for $350k lol.


    but not everybody has all the answers or solutions in their head. Eventually everybody will see the results of their decision or way, if it worked out well or not.

    life Results are just around the corner!
