March was Women’s History Month so I thought that it might be a good time to discuss the unique challenges that women face when it comes to money.
One of the biggest issues is that women tend to live longer than men. Some might say that’s because women worry men to death…but you didn’t hear that from me.
Former #1 overall draft pick says he owes creditors nearly $4.7 million.
According to the Wall Street Journal . . .The ex-Syracuse University standout and 1991 NBA Rookie of the Year earned tens of millions during a 15-year playing career but listed assets of just $1 million in papers filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Detroit, Coleman’s hometown.
Coleman’s desire to invest in the Detroit area after his playing career ended contributed to his financial problems, Coleman’s bankruptcy attorney Mark B. Berke said Friday.
Among Coleman’s ventures is a struggling Detroit development called Coleman’s Corner, an attempt to revive one of the city’s most downtrodden neighborhoods. Coleman defaulted on loans related to the mall last year.
Colemen’s other business interests include ownership stakes in the Hilton Garden Suites hotel in downtown Detroit, a Tim Hortons Inc. doughnut shop franchise and Hungry Howie’s Pizza store, according to court papers.
Among the assets that could be available for creditors is an eclectic mix of automobiles: a 1957 Buick convertible, worth $20,000; a 1970 Chevrolet Nova, worth $5,000; and a 1997 Bentley convertible, valued at $50,000.
Coleman also listed two Seadoo watercraft, his $90,000 NBA pension and two chinchilla fur coats.

ND Fires Weis, Owes Him $18 million
Notre Dame finally admitted that it made a mistake by giving an accomplished, but unproven in college, head coach a TEN YEAR EXTENSION just SEVEN GAMES INTO HIS TENURE at the school.
That mistake appears to be very costly. According to the Sporting News, Notre Dame owes Weis an $18 million buyout, plus $1 million for the guaranteed contracts of it’s coaches. Ouch!
By the way, the athetic director that hired Weis, after objecting to the Uinversity’s request to fire then coach Ty Willingham, left the school for Duke last year. Guess he saw this coming.
What’s the lesson here? Stop taking regular jobs and find a job where you can sign a CONTRACT. That way, even when they kick you to the curb, they will also have to throw out a big bag of money for you to land on.
