RANT-my boss complains about being broke all the time (he makes over $1m a year)

[Anonymous]

It drives me CRAZY. He expenses absolutely everything he can. If he buys a $1 candy bar, he will have me expense it. His wife calls all the time to ask me how much expense money he is waiting on to be deposited in their account, and when it will be deposited. REALLY? How can you be broke when you make over $1m a year?? Does it even occur to him that he is complaining about being broke to someone who only makes $55,000/year, and knows he makes over $1m/year?

Thank you for listening.

This is why I don't envy everyone that makes a lot of money.

I don't think it is fair to pick on people just becase they have a lot of money. This guy sounds like a real go-getting wealth-creator, and we are lucky to have him.
Now maybe if you can make some progress on expenses you can take a load off him.

Are you lazy about turn in his reimbursement forms? News flash, that's your job.

At first I thought this was the old post. Get over it OP and don't post this again.

Does he personally make over $1m or does his business gross $1m?

I had a boss like this once. She complained frequently about her ex who didn't seem to understand that she was on a "budget." Nice budget. She lived very, very well off a trust fund. She didn't have a job that brought in an income. Instead she "worked" on her very expensive hobby. Once she had me go through her bank statements and she started freaking out b/c her checking account was "so low!" She had over $90,000 in it. The most I've ever had in mine was maybe $5,000 and that was gone within days to pay for my tuition (it was a loan).

Some people are frugal and will have savings even making $40K. Others will adjust their spending habits to sail through millions. $1M a year is really not so much that it's hard to spend in DC. Just get a $7M house, join a country club, enroll your kids in private school, maybe attend a couple fundraisers and you're done.

You have got to be kidding me.
