MSN recently listed 9 reasons why you don’t want to be rich. Sure, money can bring a lot of pleasure,
power and privilege. And also a lot of
headaches that come along with it. Listed
are the nine reasons why you really don't want to be part of the 1 percent. I made my own comments after each reason. For more in-depth detail to the story, check

- Secret accounts (which are no longer hidden) (It’s my damn money. What do I need to hide it for, lol?)
- Alimony, child support and property settlements (that’s what pre-nupes are for)
- Professional fees (make sure you’re not being cheated. And make sure they pay your taxes.)
- Estate taxes (I’m dead, what do I care. That’s up to the attorney and probate court)
- Trust-fund brats (put some aside to be used at 30 year)
- Lawsuits (be careful who you associate with)
- Security systems (don’t be all flash to begin with)
- Trouble with 'the help' (don’t hire some woman looking like a hooker)
- Big fat income tax bills (make sure your accountant is paying)
Even after I read the article, I have to conclude, I’d still
want to be a part of the 1%. Well at
least be able not to worry if there’s enough
in the checking to pay cable, lol.
And like always, “I’m
just saying…”
J, I have often thought about this very topic and sometimes find myself thanking God that I am not in that 1%. However, there are times when I wish I was so I would not have to worry about making sure I can take care of everything that needs to be taken care of. As for the reasons, I do not think any would apply to me because I am your big cousin's sister and your CLS. You know how we do. I guess that is why we are not in the 1% because we would not have those nine headaches.
