Financial Planning: Doin’ it old school (Friday smile)

A lot of high tech tools out there to do your financial planning with, I have seen a lot of them, but for the high and mighty “rich folk” they do it “old school”. Have a look at how Larry Ellison does his budgeting! Now that is really “kickin’ it old school”! Scrawled on a single piece of paper, that shows real confidence in your abilities.

What does Larry’s budget look like, you may ask (in case you didn’t click that link?):

Expenditures

  1. Lifestyle - annual $20m
  2. Interest accrual - annual $75m
  3. Villa in Japan - $25m
  4. New yacht - $194m - over 3 yrs
  5. America’s Cup - $80m - over 3 yrs
  6. UAD - 12m over 3 yrs

I feel sorry for him, I really do. Makes my whining about my car payments on my 4 year old Montana Van seem insignificant, don’t it? UAD is another company, I believe. If Larry Ellison can spend the time to figure out a budget, so can you! –C8j
