[quote=davelj]Ah… and more interesting details emerge about the wife of this man and his Personal Credit Crisis. He managed to omit his wife’s TWO previous bankruptcies…
This doesnt suprise me at all. Read the two quotes below and they just dont jive. It bugged me the first time I read it. How does an editor, who hasnt worked in a decade or two, have such great knowledge about very expensive clothes she got a good entry level job when she doesnt buy any for herself?
[quote]”We had very different ideas about money. Patty spent little on herself, but she refused to scrimp on top-quality produce, Starbucks coffee, bottled juices, fresh cheeses and clothing for the children and for me.” [/quote]
[quote]”When Saks Fifth Avenue offered her a full-time job selling high-end clothing on commission — something she knew about and loved — she grabbed it.”[/quote]
Oh, I see. She was just shopping for everyone else in the house. (I highly doubt this)
“She regularly bought me new shirts and ties to replace the frayed and drab ones in my closet.”
Ill bet most of the people in his office didnt think his old clothes were drap and fraying. And I can only extrapolate what I know about similar people to guess that she was also often replacing her “drab and fraying clothes”.
“She thought it wasn’t worth agonizing over nickels and dimes.”
Nearly every person I know who says this type of thing is almost always in financial trouble. Unless they actually mean the actual nickels or dimes, it is amazing how much money can just be ‘nickels and dimes’. Especially when being purchased on a credit card.
