    I don't feel sorry for multimillionaires that can't buy a private jet like a billionaire. And I don't feel sorry for billionaires that can't buy Twitter or space ships like a trillionaire.

    I don't feel sorry for stupidity either. You have to live responsibly within your means.

    If they save a couple of million dollars and own a home, they will be set for life. You have to live within your means but if you keep a million dollars in a meager money market account, you can make around 40k-50k a year. If you invest it wisely, you can easily double that. If you don't have a mortgage, 80-100K is pretty easy to live on. Heck, even Knecht has a 4-year, $18.48 million rookie contract. Even if he only keeps 5 million of that, he can easily live off of that for the rest of his life. Nope, don't feel sorry for anyone. They have all made their money. The problem is, many of them are financially as dumb as rocks and just blow through all their cash in the short term, living high on the hog. That is just stupid.
