But they give that all away with careless handling of their assets. It's a huge mistake.

Now, is it the worst thing in the world to return to a life where you need to get a job to support yourself? No, that's the life I'm living now, and I'm happy.

But think about where they could be. That's what's so dumb.
No you're wrong.If you invested $1000 and I play football and invest 1,000,000 in the same thing and it goes bad ...you think I'm dumber then you or did I just have more money to invest?
Point, if I had 5 million and I go to a finacial counselor and he hooks me up with Emron ,AIG and Benie Madoff.........5 years ago ....I'm smart ,but after last 2 years I'm dumb according to you.
