We would not either, though after taxes a lot would be gone. In its pure form with no deductions you would pay a ton. Businesses are structured where they would not. |

People love stories about miserable millionaires, lol. when I made my million at the company I worked for. they gave me a bonus! but it turned out once I took the money. I was the fall guy. that's when the FBI agents came in. turns out their was an active investigation, they froze my accounts, put me in jail for a few months until they figured out shit. I was so miserable!

How about crab legs & Coach purses? |

I not exactly made my first million. but I won the lottery for $3.5 million take home after taxes. I was single and had lots of business ideas. then I found the love of my life and got married, after meeting her and knowing her for 8 beautiful, glorious, and sexual months. I opened up a business with my closest family and some relatives. some family I had not seen not seen in decades. but somehow the money was being spent faster than the hair salon chains, the Laundromat chains, and the car dealership chains could bring in? then my family started to turn their back towards me when I could not give them more money. and all the businesses are in my name. and my wife was cheating on me with a Latin lover, who we hired or rather, she hired for her 'body guard'. then finally the police got involved to let me know the little 'accidents' I keep having is from someone is trying to kill me. how was I suppose to know breaks in the exotic cars don't go bad? IN EVERY EXOTIC car I have? I couldn't be more miserable. |

If you ever read The Buy Side, there is a picture of his $2 million bonus check. He had a ridiculously bad addiction to cocaine, he and some other brokers rented a house where they would come over after work, do blow, bang some prostitutes, and then head home to their families. |

With all due respect I don't think the $2 Mill was the issue. But please send me $2 Mill so I can be sure and report my findings here. TYIA.

I did not read the book but I did read the article and to me it was more a (very delayed) coming of age story than a story about money. I also noted that while he said he didn't make/have anywhere near the amount of money he had at his top earnings time, nowhere does it say that he is barely making ends meet right now. There is a lot of ground between a $2M bonus level income and poverty... |
