Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?

Seems like it always comes down to money and the effort to save us from ourselves, silly really.

"Springsteen just sold out for 500 million.  If he sold for 1 million, he'd be a fool."

Well not really. Before the Sony buyout he was worth over 500 million, not fool's money. He is 72 years old and the buyout is a great way to prepare his estate for the inevitable. He certainly doesn't need the income and his tax exposure will be substantial. It is a good move for a person of his wealth to prevent the "Prince" syndrome, who didn't even have a will. That estate is just a mess.

But Ted, you must be a fan of people spending money for your benefit ....  😉

Hey, I have no problem at all with Ted and his business, in fact I have owned some of his products. Please notice the smiley face, wink emoji. Sorry if my humor is not appreciated by all, it is not a new experience for me.
