Really, like I Give a CRAP about "REFORMED" Rich People

I just read a story on CNN.com about "some old rich dude" who got fired from his ridiculously overpaid job, and now works at Starbucks for, get this, $10.00 an hour.  (I am a Premium Auditor at a Surplus Insurance Company, and I only make $10.50 an hour.)  

It goes on to talk about how much better his life is now, and how he goes on "speaking" tours about it.  (Do you really think that he doesn't make a SHI*LOAD of money for those "speaking" engagements?)

ANYONE who used to make an obsecene amount of money, and now doesn't can't possibly be happy.  There is NO way that I know of that they could possibly reconcile their current station in life with their former extravagance.  

It might just be me, but really, if you took an ENORMOUS pay cut, could you be happy going from a 3 or 4 bedroom house (Read 25 bedroom MANSION to 5 ROOM apartment) to a studio apartment?  

I lived in a studio apartment right after I got married.  I brought Audrey home to that RAT HOLE apartment where gunshots were heard CONSTANTLY.  

I don't think I would be happy there again, do you?
