1162643 2010-12-16 19:58:00 I'd love to have a $1000 a week.

Perhaps he can try living on the dole instead.

1162646 2010-12-16 21:06:00 I can sympathise, even though I don't like the guy .

Haven't you experienced that inevitable shortness of cash despite your last pay rise (OK, it might not be a recent experience:) )?

Personally, I find that it doesn't matter how much (or little) I earn, the expenses seem to expand to suck up all the free cash . . .

Hotchin has been living high on the hog for so long now, he probably can't see where he could cut back . . . Maybe he should be offered budgeting advice - WINZ do that don't they? :devil

Oh how the mighty have fallen!

1162647 2010-12-17 01:57:00 He's probably having them on.
They say he is living in Australia
So is he doing nothing there ?

I hope he gets all he is due, the arrogant p... taking in millions from Peter to Pay Pal.
Madoff got 170 years in the States.

They should also have got Mark Bryes and Rod Petroavic.

I am all for people doing well, but you have to be honest in business.

Kinda half agree, as peoples disposable income increased often so does there life style . Eating out every night becomes normal, blowing hundreds on the weekend socialising etc . Also there is a ton of other expenses he prob cant cut back on immediately or at least in his mind, car servicing, pool cleaning etc .

$1000 a week is not huge . I no longer pay a mortgage but our house costs about $500 a week to feed, cloth, power etc a family with no real extras . I can imagine if you chuck in a $300+ rent or Mortgage $1000 is not luxurious .

Still he needs to suck it up a bit, others are a ton worse off than him and him company has done a lot of damage intentional or not .

1162649 2010-12-17 02:59:00 Just shoot him. Jesus, what arrogance saying he can't live on a grand a week. My father used to feed our family of five and a dog on just $600 a week, and that's before the monthly mortgage payment. qazwsxokmijn (102)
