Pamela Anderson needs a budget: napkin on the fridge!

Pamela Anderson, the iconic sex symbol who etched herself into the American psyche by donning the famous red "Baywatch" swimsuit, is slightly underwater when it comes to her finances.

The former Baywatch actress  owes $259,395.75 for unpaid taxes to the IRS in 2011 as well as $112,118.90 for California state taxes, according to TMZ.

She said she has money troubles and is revealing she is paying off her massive tax bill in monthly installments.

Also she is selling her mansion in Malibu. She said part of her financial problems is due to the massive renovation she did in her house in Malibu she is selling now.

And despite being a household name, Anderson is now doing what any other American in her situation must do: downsize!

Besides that, its time for her to figure out her budget and live according to it. It is time to wake up and see she still can live a good life without going overboard. 

And last...Seriously, when you're famous, isn't there this little light bulb that goes off in your head when the cash starts rolling in that makes you say, "Gee, I should probably hire an accountant to keep tabs on my spending  and a financial advisor to teach me how to plan for my future before I wake up one day and realize every last dime is gone and I am dead broke."

The Backstory on the Story: I-Plan by Michael Minter

The rule of thumb when writing a book is to focus on reaching the masses. However, when I decided to write the I-Plan, my intention was not only to reach millions of people, but to impact them in a way that would make a collective difference in America.

I played tennis at a very high level, and was fortunate to grow up having a father-figure that coached and played competitively as well. While a Dr. at Galluadet University— the only hearing impaired university in the United States at the time— he wrote books on Physical Education and Recreation. He was like the Vince Lombardi of the hearing impaired community and those who were able to play on his youth soccer teams!
 
Although my dad passed suddenly, his financial planning left my mom financially stable and prepared my family for the challenges ahead. It was not an easy time for us in life; not for me, not for my mom or my brother. Never the less, we may have lost dad, but what we didn’t lose was his signature winning attitude.

Outside of sports, my calling at a young age was my fascination for how money worked. Over the last sixteen years, I have been fortunate enough to apply my passion and educate others about it. After deciding to forgo my senior year of college tennis, I jumped headfirst into the financial industry and began building my practice from scratch. I knew this was one business sector that my life experiences could help others understand the importance of planning and the reality of the unexpected. The idea of helping just one family with my financial guidance would mean my father’s legacy was still inspiring others to take action.

I wrote the I-Plan with each and every American family in mind. I believe everyone is able to identify with one of the characters—and relate the rest of the Frumpy Family to their own family members and friends! —and discover a change they could make to improve their life or a loved one’s. From a typical household budget and asset protections, to college and retirement planning, there’s something in the I-Plan for everyone.

The book is an easy read for all ages with a standard, straightforward takeaway, “Yes I-Plan. I can. Do you?”
 
With our “Napkin on the Fridge” as our guide and financial education as our top priority, we can build a strong foundation of financial education and a better future for us all.


I-Plan is available for purchase online at Amazon and Barnes and Noble or via Kindle or Nook.

Mike Tyson, Michael Vick and Maradona: What do they have in common?

The salaries paid to professional athletes are sometimes impossible for the average fan to comprehend. A $100 million here, a $100 million there and pretty soon it adds up to real money, to borrow loosely from an esteemed politician of the past.

Despite the crazy salaries, the sad (or satisfying, depending on your viewpoint) fact is that many professional athletes burn through their hordes of cash, often before hitting retirement.

What Maradona, Michael Vick and Mike Tyson have in common?

MARADONA, soccer: $26 million Lost

 

Diego Maradona is arguably the greatest soccer player who ever lived. His feats on the pitch for Argentina in the World Cup, Barcelona, Sevilla and Napoli among others made him a one-name legend. But the legend had a darker side, too. 

The Italian stop may  have been his Waterloo. There was the 1991 suspension for failing a cocaine test. That lasted 15 months.

Maradona’s troubles didn’t end with retirement. The Italian years caught up with him in 2009 when Italian tax authorities ruled he owed 37 million euros ($26 million at the time) in back taxes, penalties and interests. Having only paid a fraction of the bill (reportedly 42,000 euros, two wristwatches and some earrings), Maradona’s salary as head coach of Argentina’s national team was being garnished before he was dismissed from that post following a lackluster performance by Argentina in the 2010 World Cup. 

Now, however, he has scored a lucrative coaching gig with Al Wasl FC in the United Arab Emirates league. Hopefully, someone helps him start practice on time. 

MICHAEL VICK, football: At Least $50 Million Lost

 

The story of Michael Vick’s spectacular fall from grace has been well documented. The dynamic quarterback who led a woeful franchise, the Atlanta Falcons, to Super Bowl contention tossed it all away by investing in dog fighting. Then came prison and bankruptcy. Back in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, Vick last month signed his second $100 million contract ($40 million guaranteed). 

The happiest people might be his creditors, who stand to see much more of the $20 million they were owed than they might have expected. 

MIKE TYSON, boxing: $400 Million Lost

 

Mike Tyson was on top of the world: Heavyweight champ, career earnings of about $400 million and all the adult toys anyone could want. But outrageous spending ($173,000 for a gold and diamond necklace, a pricey divorce, fancy cars and two Las Vegas mansions) and big tax bills (nearly $14 million owed in the U.S. and Britain) helped lead Tyson to bankruptcy court. There he declared debts of more than $27 million, to a former trainer, a former financial manager and even a music producer, among others. By that time Tyson’s $30 million paydays were a distant memory.

But he has gotten a measure of redemption, appearing in parts 1 and 2 of the hit comedy film, "The Hangover," and being inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame this year.

These superstars blew through their hoards of cash long before retirement, which means they could've used some good financial advice.
