I think she's a fine looking woman who obviously takes care of herself. However, unless it's just the photos, she does look a bit older than her 47 years.

Quote from Thunderdog:
The woman is obviously in a tight spot, and is treading water. Unless she expects to get a substantial promotion and raise in due course, or meets a new Mr. Wonderful soon, then she will almost certainly have to make some lifestyle adjustments. Waiting until the last moment may make it somewhat less pleasant. I would have to guess that the ex makes more money than she does, given the large lifestyle to which her family has become accustomed. But her financial equation doesn't compute in the long run without that hefty second income. It's hard stepping down, even for intelligent folk. Perhaps if they were a tad more frugal to begin with...
I think the woman is a complete moron. No wonder she has a job at a bank. They seem to only employ idiots who can't control theirs or anyone else's money for that matter. Shes not in a tight spot, shes a spoiled c$#t who doesn't want to be resposible enough of a mother of 3 children to maybe cut back on things and live a different lifestlye.
I don't know if having a sizeable blind spot makes her a complete moron, but she is evidently living in denial or in anticipation of an improvement in her finances of some kind. However, that special something, whatever it may be, had better come soon otherwise she will slowly boil alive.Quote from SCI new york:

If you have ever overstayed a losing position to your considerable detriment then you can surely understand how difficult it must be to walk away from an entire lifestyle, however unsustainable it may be. I'm not defending her choices. I think they're wrong. Personally, I would not opt for the lifestyle she has chosen unless I was making a fair multiple of her income, which is why I'm guessing her ex must have been the larger earner of the two. I'm just trying to empathize with her unfortunate inability to let go.
Quote from Scataphagos:
That's right. Sounds like it should work... until you've tried it.
Years ago when I ran a financial planning practice for fee, I'd at first thought making $100K was nirvana. But I counseled with lots of people with such incomes who couldn't put $10K together if you put a gun to their head.
So, I thought, "the magic income number must be $250K".... wasn't that either. They weren't much better than the $100K'ers. I remember one wife saying, "Just because my husband's a doctor people think we have money"... (They were about $250K with 4 kids.)
The $250K'ers make more money, of course, but they also pay MUCH higher taxes. Then after "a little better house, a little better car, and a little better vacation", there isn't much left over.... not withstanding the fact they probably know very little about investing and are therefore not likely to be successful.
Sorry, Gnome. This is crap. I make that type of money in the corporate environment and it is much better than when I made $100k. The reason?? I don't go out and buy an Audi TT just because I make a much higher salary. I save the money. Re: Millionaire Next Door.
I downsized my house. I got rid of the fourth car., etc. I don't need a McMansion just because every other idiot is doing it.
I used to have a two acre 4000 sq foot new house in a nice NJ suburb paying 16k in taxes or so a year.
Now I drive my six year old Jeep Wrangler and live in a nice townhouse in Baltimore making the same money I made in Jersey and my taxes/mortgage, etc is less than half what I paid in Jersey.
It's about expenditures, NOT taxes. I'm not saying taxes aren't a problem, but you CAN have a better life at 250 than 100 - a much better one. Truth is that most at 100 can have a better life there too if they were smart enough to do something about it.

(Side note) I don't know if any of you ever seen the show on TV called the millionaire matchmaker, but this is a show where a few wealthy guys try and meet a woman. Like most shows there is an elimination process. One guy got eliminated because he only made a low 6 figures a year, and was seen as "too poor".
Welcome to america.

No ... the guy who she was married to was a contestant on (yet another) reality TV show called "Megan Wants a Millionaire". He supoposedly meet Jasmine after he was voted off of the show.

Yikes!
before I would have just taunted her mistakes,
but these days looking at her story, she is trying very hard to uphold the family in her own way , maybe its not the best way, holding onto a 2.5 million house instead of heading to woodside,NY and purchasing a 4bedroom coop for $350k lol.
but not everybody has all the answers or solutions in their head. Eventually everybody will see the results of their decision or way, if it worked out well or not.
life Results are just around the corner!

Eighteen years, eighteen years
She got one of your kids, got you for eighteen years
I know somebody payin' child support for one of his kids
His baby mama car and crib is bigger than his
You will see him on TV any given Sunday
Win the Super Bowl and drive off in a Hyundai
She was supposed to buy your shorty Tyco with your money
She went to the doctor, got lipo with your money
She walkin' around lookin' like Michael with your money
Should've got that insured, Geico for your money
If you ain't no punk
Holla, "We want prenup! We want prenup!" (Yeah!)
It's somethin' that you need to have
'Cause when she leave yo' ass, she gon' leave with half
Eighteen years, eighteen years
And on the 18th birthday, he found out it wasn't his?
Fair Warning
