In culling my home library, I came across several books about wretched excess.
I thought I'd share some of the words famous people have said about how they spend their money.
Prolific romance author Barbara Cartland said, "The post is hopeless, and I have given up sending things bypost. I now have things delivered in my Rolls."
"If women didn’t exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning." —Aristotle Onassis
"I tend to buy cars for the fun of it. I drive them around for three weeks and then I get bored, dump them in the garage and let the batteries go completely flat." —Eddie Murphy
Elizabeth Taylor once said, "I have a lust for diamonds, almost like a disease."
"My instincts stink...Hollydwood, the marriages, the divorces, a limo and a yacht. I actually had a yacht, and on the first trip we were 13 feet out and my father brother started vomiting." —Sylvester Stallone
Takeaway Truth
The wisest words I read were by motivational speaker Zig Ziglar" "Money isn’t the most important thing in life, but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the 'gotta have it' scale."
