This mortgage crisis is very serious for everyone. I'm having great difficulty selling one of my homes that renters did $70,000 in damages to including throwing garbage in the furnace fuel tank, breaking the fireplace, breaking many windows, breaking and stealing parts off the furnace, stealing glass doorknobs, ruining the hardwood floors with a massive number of pets in violation of the lease terms. Having this problem property to deal with a real headache. Even buyers with A-1 credit can't seem to get a loan.

I don't feel the slightest bit sorry for Holyfield or, similarly, Ed McMahon. Both realized enormous financial windfalls in their lives and chose -- they were not forced -- to live beyond their means.
Holyfield earned something in the neighborhood of $250M in his career. With even simple investments he should have plenty of live from. A 104-room house doesn't seem like the mark of a prudent man, however.
As for McMahon ... the lament is he can't work because health issues. He's 85 years old and he's made millions in his lifetime ... where, exactly, are the savings and investments? And, more importantly, why is he taking out $4M+ loans at this stage in his life?

You know, there is something to be said of "living BELOW one's means."
