Those poor millionaires who destroyed our economy and why we should feel sorry for them
Megan Woolhouse interviews therapists "wealth councilors" and "life coaches" treating those poor formerly filthy rich, now moderately rich, slime who caused worldwide financial collapse. Share in their pain as they must cope with the burden of no longer being able to decide whether they vacation in the Caribbean or Switzerland, suffer identity crisis as they realize they're not John "I drive a 760iL" Smith, the guilt of screwing over millions if not billions of people, and the nervousness of suddenly being among the least popular people on the planet. What terrible, terrible woes compared to people worrying about paying for their kid's education, their retirement, health care, heating bills, rent, or even just being able to put food on the table. Compare and contrast.

indeed
Sounds like "Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon" versus "Brother Can You Spare a Dime" or "Poverty Blues".
Perhaps these guys should go have a chat with famous wealth manager Shirl Penney if they need some basic perspective? I somehow bet that he ain't crying too loudly about the recent downsizing and offshoring of some of his income.
Agreed....I don't think
Agreed....I don't think people like Shirl Penney worry too much about material things or how to find purpose in his life. In fact I have met him and he's one of the most balanced people I have met who the entire time we spoke told me about his family and his co-workers rather than himself. Something tells me that what he learned growing up has allowed him to weather this storm quite well.
We need more leaders like him in this country where people can't seem to exercise fiscal constraint in their personal, corporate, or public lives. Greed is NOT good Mr. Geiko.
Hahaha, Brilliant.
