I agree. Obviously, we aren't seeing his balance sheet, but he is $600,000 behind on payments. How did a guy worth $200 million end up at risk of losing his home over well under $1 million? Surely he didn't spend $199 million on medical care.

I don't mean to kick a man when he's down. I always liked Ed McMahon. Used to watch the Tonight Show all the time. But I posted this to make a point to all the people who think, "If only I made more money, all my financial problems would disappear." As JimOhio always says, most people don't have an earning problem, they have a spending problem.
