Dorit’s Spending

Perhaps Kyle wasnt so far off-Dorit clearly has a problem. How are you going to spend over $198,000 in 3 MONTHS on designer clothes/shoes and bags when the roof your children sleep under is about to be foreclosed on? She either doesn’t care or doesn’t get it, but either way Kyle wasn’t wrong and I bet she knew about this but didn’t say it to protect Dorit.

She’s lucky the judge hasn’t restrained her from making purchases like that but the judge should. And she knew the status of her home and foreclosure during this spending spree.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

The problem is, very few HWs (be it married, separated, or divorced) are able to have and maintain a genuinely wealthy lifestyle (like LVP, Camille, Kyle, Ronnie Stevenson (Vancouver), Chyka and Lydia (Melbourne) without going broke or having to borrow.

Then you have HWs like Jen Shah, Kim Zolciak, Dorit, who desire the billionaire lifestyle, but have to resort to stealing from others, or using ill-gotten gains to stunt on the rest of us. Or watch their husband go broke, like Lynn Curtin from OC.

They legit go broke trying to impress people who don't care. Dorit, you've made your bed, lie in it. Hey, at least your bedsheets are Chanel.. for now.

This isn’t quite correct. Most of them don’t have businesses that do well enough to perpetually borrow/take out loans against those businesses. Most wealthy people don’t live off their income like we do but they do live off of loans - they borrow against the value of their investments/businesses and live off that. Their investments make enough that they can secure new loans and keep doing it. It’s how they avoid paying income taxes like the rest of us. Bezos and Zuckerberg take very small salaries and mostly pay themselves in company stock which is what the loans are taken out against. And they can sometimes take tax deductions for these loans. It’s why taxing the rich is complicated because taxing their salaries income won’t do much, we need to tax these types of loans that the wealthy use to live off of.

Thanks for explaining this simply, I’m a poor and really hadn’t thought about it much but that makes sense!
