I was watching this special yesterday & they were talkin about these big time movie stars & singers that have huge houses, nice cars, jewelry, clothes. These entertainers be spending some serious money on this stuff. I see why some of them go broke cause they waste their money on stuff they don't need. Just cause you're making lots of money doesn't mean u gotta spend it all just to spend it. They said Arnold Schwarzenegger has 8 Hummers. 8 Hummers? How is he gonna drive them all? Seinfeld has about 20 cars & he has a special garage made for them. That's too many cars.

I guess they have all that stuff to make themselves happy. Jay Leno is also another star who has many cars. He does drive them though.

Maybe if they sell some of those cars they'll make some big money. :confused:

I wrote a check for 825.00 today to the dentist for a bridge that I had gotten. That's being a big spender to me!

But I am supposed to be reimbursed for half from my insurance company. I sure hope so! :eek: Could take up to 4 months.:(

I thought that was ridiculous. Lil Kim spending $30,000 a day in a store. Britney Spears...all of them named. I can't understand how they can throw out that type of money on "nothing" but there are people who don't even know where their next meal is coming from man.

I know they work for their earnings, but that's sad when you have so much money, you can't find anything else to do with it but pamper yourself. Anyway, those are my thoughts.

I saw that where they showed Lil Kim buying all those expensive clothes. Lil Kim is a typical example of a black person who ain't never had nothin & now that she does have a lot of money, she has to spend it on any & everything. I know she got breast surgery done cause her breasts are huge. They didn't use to be that big. I used to think she was attractive when her first cd Hardcore came out but now she's a joke. She looks like a babydoll. They also showed these 2 mansions that J-Lo & Ben Affleck bought in Georgia. They showed Bill Gates house. They say he has the biggest house out of all the celebrities. His house is humongous & he has so much space. If i was a celebrity, i would save so much money so i could retire early. It doesn't take a whole lot to make me happy. All i need is the necessities such as clothes, car, food, furniture, music, sneakers & i'm cool. Everytime i see a star's house & they show their clothes closets, their closets be having so many clothes & shoes in them like they're gonna wear all that stuff. Ben Affleck is a sucker. He bought J-Lo a million dollar engagement ring & now they aren't together LOL. I would never in my life buy a woman a ring that expensive. She better be giving me sex all the time for somethin that expensive hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

No seriously..... I think if you're a young child and never given too much..... you tend to buy more as you get older. Maybe that's why Lil Kim is a spendaholic...

As far as the other stars. I feel Ben Affleck spends too much money. He's gambling his life away and it's a shame.

For woman they need to look nice. This goes for all woman. But, the stars go overboard. They don't wear the same clothes twice. Sometimes they get criticize if they wear a red dress in 1999 and 2002. There are many people looking at them. It's a shame but, they get criticize. If a man wears the same clothes he doesn't get criticized.

Pitooey shut up LOL. I'm not alone & there are women out here that will wanna be with u even if u don't buy them expensive things. Plus look at Redd Foxx & Sammy Davis Jr. Both of them died broke cause they were probably spending lots of money but they were also in a lot of debt. MC Hammer, Toni Braxton, TLC have all filed for bankruptcy before cause i know they were probably spending a lot of money & they didn't realize they were overspending. You're not gonna be a entertainer forever so that's why u have to save your money when your career is done. There have been so many entertainers that have come & gone over the yrs & i wonder what they're doing now.
