Greedy **** Turns Down $974M Divorce Settlement

I agree with you whole heartily on that matter Kara well said. Love means something different to everyone. I am going to take myself for example. I do not believe love should be about materialism. It should be honest from the start to the end. It is a two way street and not a one way. When I met my wife I was honest from the start and still am. I only love her for who she is and no one in my honest opinion turns me on like she does. I am not attracted to any other woman. That to me means I found the one who I want to grow old with. I believe there is someone out there for everyone. Have a open heart and mind be honest and most importantly communicate. Nothing is perfect that is a fact it is about team work.

I did not get her a ring either she loves cats. So I bought her a cat from Africa a savanna. It was the closest thing to a dog I would accept see that is a prime example of compromise.

Gold digger deserves to get nothing.

I support both but I think before a couple gets married they should have been together for years, 3+. You absolutely do not know a person until you've experienced a wide range of activites together: how they react under stress, how you both act together under stress, how well you travel together, arguments, jealousy, so many things.


I don't support a person getting into a long term relationship with another adult after divorce or being widowed until after their children reach their majority. I especially don't support a parent giving partial or full control of their child to another adult they are dating.

This is based on my experiences as a child whose mother has been married five times (three times while I was under the age of 18) and who has watched other parent/child relationships of family members and friends.

Not only will the new adult in the childs life have power that they have not earned, the new extended family (step-grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins) can truly add unpleasant issues.

You (generic) decide to have a child, that is a responsiblity and obligation that doesn't cease to exist after a divorce. If you want to go have sex or date, fine, but leave your children out of it. Get a babysitter and have an adult night. Then go back to raising your child, not engaging in your second high school dating life.

Most will probably find my comments controversial. They are opinions based on my life experience and observations. I don't advocate creating laws to enforce them or anything like that.

I would specifically underline the importance of living together before marriage. Being with someone, even for a long time but just dating is definetely different than sharing the same roof.

Glad I'll never have to deal with this ***lol

That's a short-term CD. Not a savings account.

I'd literally just move to another country before paying her a cent higher than that if she won in court.

The *** are you going to do with a billion?

If she never worked another day in her life and lived for another 50 years, she could spend 19mil/year and never go broke.

I don't care prenup or not. If you can't live on 19 mil/year, you're greedy, period.

You say that now my friend. There is going to be a woman you can not see your self without.

Shoo, go away.

Not everyone needs a mate in their lives.

For her, I would say that if she couldn't live on 700k per year, then she is greedy.

Been with my wife since we were 11 im saying I won't have to deal with that for a good reason

Agreed. Living with another person can be very stressful and it can show you a lot more of the personality of another person when they aren't at their best and in many cases, people realize after they got married and moved in that they are actually quite incompatible in one way or another.

Why take 1B when your entiled to 9B.

If 1,000,000,000 isn't enough to buy my own island and equip it with the best internet and technology possible and live like that until I die, then yeah, I'll go for 9.

Wow, a lot of greedy people here.

I don't demand a lot, I just want to be rich and with everything I want for the rest of my life.

How much is "rich" for you, and would it be a one-time payment or annual payment?

It means any amount of money spent is trivial.
One time or multiple is irrelevant since it's a constant state.

That's impossible to quantify.

Because you are basically giving yourself a free ticket to control all of the currency in the world. See, you can start out frugal, but eventually your greed will take over and your spending habits will expand until nothing can quench your thirst. Even though you would have control of all wealth, you still wouldn't be satisfied until the day you die.

So, my question is: How much do you consider to be enough to live comfortably within your own means?

What a pointless reply. You might want to do research about jokes.

Your jokes are bad, and you should feel bad.














































See, that's a joke

500€ per month is more than I can spend. Money just piles up, not gonna complain though, it allows you to not pay attention to the price when you actually buy something expensive.

I usually spend 300€ per month and I do spend money on stupid stuff (cash shops, drinks, restaurants, cinema etc).
If I had more money, I would just buy everything I see instead of debating whether it's worth it, or not. But even then, I rarely go in the 4 digits unless it's something that is really cost efficient (like a computer or an awesome trip), so I don't think I'd spend much money other than buying a house, obviously.

I would make a pretty bad greedy wife.

I really don't believe that.

A comparison of cost of living between Paris vs. San Antonio (Source) goes between 30-50% higher. I highly doubt a person can really survive in San Antonio for $592.74 per month (exchange rate EUR to USD is 1.18547 (Source) without assistance.

Minimum wage per month is $1,160 (before taxes), $1,071.26 after FICA is taken out, no withholdings. People would have a hard time to survive that in San Antonio, so I highly doubt that you could survive by yourself in France for any less than €2,000 per month.

So, either you live with your parents and allow them to support you for more than half of your total support, or you are pulling a small number out of your *** that has no basis to reality.

I meant available money. So, after you've paid your bills.

Money spent for food and other activities. I used to spend 200 to 300£ in London as it was expensive. Luckily, I was walking to work every day, if I had to use transports it would have been +120 to +200£.

You need to be more clear on that then. Saying that you have €500 per month generally means that your total income per month is €500...

What banks give those kind of interest rates? :O
I actually do have money in a savings account over here and I can tell you, its more like $300 a month for a million.

I'm being serious by the way, If you know of banks where you caan get 10k interest a month let me know, because we sure as hell don't get anything close to that over here.

EDIT: Just calculated it in USD, and we do get 10k off every 1,000,000... but that's 10k/year, not per month.. So $833/month but you can only take out cash once per year.

Ah the life of a single healthy man.
I used to be like that. spend about 1/20th of my earnings.
Then I got married.
I still spent 1/20th of my earnings on myself, and she spent the remaining 19/20.

By the time you have kids your employer has noticed you're working harder and get promoted a few times. you double your salary over the course of three years only to get shocked by the cost of nursery, school, memberships...parties, gifts, clothing, going out... and the best part is always the summer vacations... instead of getting a normal room you always have to get a suite.
Oh and traveling first or business class is now pretty much the same as buying a new BMW, because its 5x seats.

You kiss your pimp studio apartment goodbye and buy a house where you've spent a fortune populating it with furniture and ***you never knew existed and no one will ever use. We've got dishes that we're not allowed to eat off. Table cloths that go off the table only to be replaced with other ones when its dinner time. Plants that don't even look pretty and require a gardener. A pool that devours electricity and a guy just to service it once a friggin week who takes 500$ for his 30 minutes of pretending to know wtf he is doing. ><! SINGLE LIFE - WHY WOULD ANYONE SANE EVER GET MARRIED?


Truth be told I love providing for my family, but DAMN it is expensive. I could survive off 300 euros a month including gas. It wasn't that long ago that I ate toasted cheese sandwiches with salt and vinegar Lays crisps 4 times a day with 4 diet cokes, costing me a whopping 7 euro.

Women make everything expensive.

EDIT: never mind did the maths, I actually do only live off 300 Euros a month. No fuggin clue where the rest of it goes but at least I have my sanity.

In Canada, smaller savings accounts quote interest per month, not annual like the rest of the world does.
