Quick vent

I cannot stand hearing stories from people making almost a half million dollars a year not having money. If you are making that much annually and you don't have money in savings, frankly, I think you are an idiot.

Sending out emails asking for help to your children making a fraction of your salary after being unemployed for three months does not make sense to me. Stop buying crap. Sell your ridiculous two seater BMW convertible that you just had to buy even though your own family can never ride with you. Most people are smart enough to figure out that if more than two people live with you a two seater is a dumb choice for a vehicle. I do not know why you would expect sympathy when you are wasteful and have the means to get yourself out of your own problems.

In a house that has 8 bedrooms (and thus 8 closets) shared by four people your clothes alone should not be FILLING 6 closets. You could make a small fortune in a consignment shop.

Or better yet, sell the 8 bedroom house in the well to do neighborhood and downsize so that you can afford your lifestyle.

Basically do anything except ask your kids for a hand out when you seriously don't need one.
