Not the best chosen headline...

 

CNBC put up an interesting article (it's worth reading) about how, since men tend to die earlier than women, older women are likely to receive a lot of money and assets from their husbands who predecease them.

So far, so good.

Unfortunately, the headline CNBC's editor(s) chose was . . . not so good.



The giggling among financially inclined commenters has been epic.

    A woman I knew years ago told of her mother telling her at a young age;

    Girl, you're sitting on a gold mine.

  3. The same mechanism that gave us Kamala Harris as the US VP (and California Attorney General, and SF DA)?

  4. Dirty Dingus McGee,

    Yes, she might be sitting on a gold mine but does she want half the town digging in it? >};o)
