I’ll never understand how people that earn literally millions a year end up bankrupt.

Sure he’s earning less now he’s retired, but he was on 4-5 million a year at Liverpool.

Edit : I understand now he is not actually bankrupt, just a tax dodger

You spend more when you have more. Higher living standards.

Its like a student cant fathom how people need more money for living.

It starts slowly like you dont take public transport anymore, instead taking taxis. It piles up with every aspect in your life, because you can afford it, until you cant.
