    Deal table in the middle, plain chairs all round the walls, on one end a large shining map, marked with all the colors of a rainbow. There was a vast amount of red–good to see at any time, because one knows that some real work is done in there, a deuce of a lot of blue, a little green, smears of orange, and, on the East Coast, a purple patch, to show where the jolly pioneers of progress drink the jolly lager-beer. How-ever, I wasn’t going into any of these. I was going into the yellow. Dead in the center.

    The NFL stars going bankrupt just goes to show you that more money just highlights your financial IQ. If it is high or low. Obviously these NFL players had a low financial IQ.

    No one is born with a financial IQ. You are either self-taught or actually instructed. A lot of those big dumbasses made a lot of money and wouldn’t or couldn’t be taught how to manage it.
