“He is very money conscious on SOME things, but also spends extravagantly on other things. He has a home mortgage, a mortgage on a Lamborghini, and student loans. He pays his ex 40% of his salary in alimony, but that will end in a few months. He’s got teenagers too, so several more years of paying child support. He basically lives paycheck to paycheck, just with bigger paychecks.”
