🚀 Oh look, rich folks in Europe could solve all our budget woes! Because clearly, the best strategy is to assume the ultra-rich will happily part with their cash to fund bureaucrats' fantasies. 🙄 Can't wait for the next proposal: taxing unicorn tears. 🦄💰

“…And we decided to do things on our own instead of having people do stuff for us. We were so f—ing lost. We didn’t know how to do anything.” #RichPeopleProblems 🙄#JohnCougarMellencamp #MegRyan #Quote

I wrote a check to the IRS this morning for my taxes. The form for doing this has a note on it that checks for over $100,000,000 will not be accepted. #richpeopleproblems

I stayed up late last night until 4 AM... finishing #RichPeopleProblems. It's been a long time since I've stayed up reading a book like that.

I love this trilogy so much. I guess if I really liked rich people loving, marrying, backstabbing, and badmouthing each other, I probably should consider some Jane Austen or Murasaki Shikubu, eh? Never really read either of them.

For Christmas I got #ChinaRichGirlfriend and #RichPeopleProblems (the sequels to #CrazyRichAsians) and I'm just DEVOURING them (on CRG right now, probably will start RPP tomorrow). I don't know what it's about these books that makes me read them so. I've been hungering for them. Parts of it remind me of my high school years, and I'm equally intrigued and disgusted by both the book and my memory of my younger years.

I hope to some day write something that someone else will be unable to put down.
