To your original question, is there really all that much difference?

And that's the truth. We were watching BBCA the other night when a piece on NYC Mayor Bloomberg came on. He's believed to have already spent $150 million of his own $60+ billion fortune on his campaign.

I could easily live on the interest generated from that $1.25 million @5% return. Then I'd have all day to putter like I want

I though I read that that was the highest ever paid pre publication.
