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. 

YouTube - August 18, 2007 - Peter Schiff Versus Ben Stein ...

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.

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, I’ve 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 it’s 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.

Not to be cold but $20,000 per month alimony. Do you know what I could do with such an amount...The squirrel in me would be hiding it away for many rainy days. I feel for the lady because it sounds like it is all about ready to come crashing down around her and that is as scary as can be.

Instead of teaching sex education (if that’s what you want to call it) and fisting in schools, basic self responsibility and how to handle money courses would help.

Sweet woman? LOL!! She's a leach! About time for this lady to pay the piper.

Reminds me of my first wife. A southern Californian who was first married to a MD. She just loved that lifestyle and would do anything including cheat the IRS and run herself into bankruptcy to keep it. Similar situation, but my ex had gainful employment when I married her.

Long story short, when our divorce rolled around, I was lucky to get out of there with the shirt on my back.

As a woman who's worked to support myself since the age of 16, I have a hard time mustering up any sympathy at all for this ditzy broad.

I’m afraid I’ll insult the delicate sensibilities of our younger members if I suggest what this “lady” is qualified to do for a living now. Remember honey, always get the money first.
