Divorces Cost Ex-Baseball Star Millions; "It Didn't Make Financial Sense For Me To Keep Paying A Mortgage"

I can''t believe he is explaining how instead of making $35M he only brought home $18M after taxes as if the average person should feel sympathy that he can''t afford his $2.5M house. I mean those income numbers are almost high enough for him to make a serious run for president... at last our "man of the people."

I wonder if those women who married him would have been so keen if he had been a beer vendor at the stadium instead of a pro baseball player.

What is apparent, is that many Americans who don''t have much are really, really jealous of those who have more. The more is always there for the getting.We just have to buck up, bite the bullet and make the opportunity--but even more important, a lot of us need an attitude adjustment. We need to not be negative just because someone has more or get angry about how they squander THEIR money, or THEIR life, or THEIR success. It''s theirs. They made it, they can destroy it.

If you have a negative attitude toward wealth (envy is a negative as is jealousy) then you repel wealth consciously and subconsciously with that attitude.

So the man is a flake. So he wasted his money and did not pay off his home--even those who can pay off their home are advised not to, as they can always use the mortgage as the largest tax deduction that they can have and so in a weird way, it is worth it, to not pay it off. Even so, if we are not made to bail out this man or his house--great. If we are, then I''m joining the screaming, angry condemnation crowd--not for what he is doing--but for what grief his actions are now causing the rest of us.

Well, with his salary he can still buy a normal size house in the middle of nowhere, with cash, and live free and clear.

He has a 10 figure salary, so 41% would still leave 9 figures in return.

Maybe he can stop divorcing?

Maybe he can get another job? I mean, hitting a ball and then running around in big circles surely can''t be worth millions each year to do?!

So many people, even those who''ve done everything right, are hurting, and he meanders about his situation. I cry "foul".

his eyes in this picture look like he had a big ole cheech & chong doobie beforehand.
