    What I don't get is why these guys don't have financial planners, they are idiots if thats the case, and I don't think if they do, the financial planners put their foot down enough because they really need to tell these guys that they aren't making money forever, they need to invest(when the Economy is better), they need to be more conservative, I mean throwing away 30000 dollars at a club is just retarded.
    I'm actually from the UK. Our tax system is the same as yours but I manage to get by well enough spending 0.5% of what Floyd manages to spend in a year.

    Damnit, I should really look at the flags closer, my bad. These guys never had money though, they don't know how to manage it. They go from rags to riches and its a hard transition to make.
