A Fool & His Money Will Soon Part

As we speak, I have a dish of baked ziti cooking. Like every rare occasion that I make a meal, some sort of huge debacle has occurred that required major clean-up.

mo money_Instant EK6_croppedThey say that your words have power, so let me be clear with this next message that I put in the universe. I need to make it financially BIG, because I loathe all domestic duty.

And I’m okay being a woman with a disdain for things like cooking and cleaning. Luckily I do have better qualities and skill sets. When I reach my financial goals or win the lottery – which ever comes first – there will be a steady home assistant. (Is that the PC way to say maid?)

In the meantime, I watch how others spend their millions. Oh what a life to be super young and super rich!

Rich at any age is great, but young …perfection. However…. Do we have to be sooo frivolous with our money?

This weekend was like a red carpet of reality and music stars in Charlotte, NC for the CIAA (Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association), a basketball NCAA Division II conference.

It seems rapper Drake made headlines while he was at Cameo Nightclub….but it wasn’t his performance that caught everyone’s eye. It was the $50,000 he pulled out of a cardboard box and preceded to make it rain on the house dancers aka strippers.

Listen, I’m no prude. Without getting in the morality of stripping, I can “comprehend” that making it rain is a small fascination of young men. However…to the tune of $50K? Are you serious?

You have to wonder what you’re trying to prove by throwing this much money at naked women sliding on a pole. If it’s street cred, that was lost at least $49K ago.

More importantly, if you have that much money to spare why not start a foundation, charity, scholarship program. Not a philanthropist, you could do something grand for your mother, your family, friends even. How about putting that money aside for a later age? Given the fickle nature of the music biz, it can’t hurt.

Anything has to be better than throwing it on the floor.
