Ben Stein should feel more compassion toward those whom he screwed up with 'outrageously' misleading comments in his numerous appearances on business media.

It's amazing Ben Stein is still employable.
Peter Schiff tries to tell the world to stay away from financials because they are toxic. He gets beaten down like the red headed step child.

See how deluded financial elites are? They consider themselves people of privilege, modern day aristocrats. Their sense of entitlement and narcissism is truly astounding in its scope. This is a real surprise for me, even though I don't have much illusions about them.

Agree - stupidity posturing as satire!
That *sweet*, high-priced hooker should have thought before she bought the mansion.......whose money and which lending institution???
Raising her children.... and a new beau paying her bills? Loverly, just loverly.

This women must be terrorized out of her mind if she calls a fool like Ben Stein for financial advice. Ben Stein should be laughed off the air and be sued for every dime he has made by lying. This Financial Genius is a lying fool.

Lets see.
Lives in a home she can’t afford: Check
Gets a payout she doesn’t deserver(Ali-money):Check
Someone else pays her bills: Check
Has a losing Boutique: Check
Is currently living off someone but wants to punt him so she can get something better: Check
Refinanced her home every time she needed more walking around cash: Check
Whooo boy. What an entitled See you next Tuesday.
Here’s how this works in the rational world:
1. MOVE. Eat the loss or do a short sale.
2. Deal with the fact that husband #1s largesse doesn’t belong to you any longer
3. Dump your losing business
4. Stop spending money
5. WORK! Pump gas, run grocieries, WORK!!!. Your current and former job of leeching off a man is about lose significant value when the court allows prior husband to stop paying you.
6. Make current boyfriend’s toes curl as he’s your only income stream of significant value.

In stories like these, I think the unmarried boyfriends who foot the bill for such lifestyles are more foolish than the woman who is the subject of this story.

Ever since, Ive been thinking of the troubles of this sweet woman, consumed with worry about money.
That’s easy. marry her and assume the debt. She won’t have to worry any more.

Now she is up all night worrying about money. Terrified, as she put it. She wanted me to tell her what to do... Jesus, I went to see if this was Scrappleface, but it really is The Matrix that most people are enmeshed within.
He worries for this lady who has no real job, no real skills, no real education, no real productivity, and who lives off of other people's money in a house that I could only dream of living in?
I worry for the America that let our education sink this low.
choice is an illusion between those with power - and those without

Ben denied his own son the most valuable thing his father taught him - live within your means. At 20+ it may be too late.
And his “lady” “friend” was looking for a handout, as were the others in their Christmas newsletters. He was probably the only one to get that version of the story.

And all of this is compounded again because my handsome son, age 21, a student, has just married a lovely young woman, 20. You may have seen on television the pudgy, aging face of their sole means of support.Gee, Ben. Maybe you should have counseled your son instead of some "whore" who can't run her own life.

Maybe, upon second thought, I did not learn well about prudence. Then I think that maybe its too late for far too many of us. The age when money was a free good, available in unlimited quantities just for signing a note, may well be over. What the heck will we do when we have to start acting like mature adults? How will we cope with limits? With reality?I think Ben has lost it. I saw him on Glenn Beck and he said the Govt. could keep printing as much money as it needs as long as we are in a deflationary period.
Deflation my ass! The idea that the CPI for last year is only one percent is just a blatant lie.
