That amount would cover, among other expenses, $5,000 in alimony payments to his ex-wife Judith Giuliani, $1,050 for food and housekeeping supplies and $425 for “personal care products and services.” He was also obliged to cover $13,500 in monthly nursing-home expenses for his former mother-in-law; she died in March.

In another bankruptcy filing, he said he actually spent nearly $120,000 in January. The accounting of his spending that he provided to the court was spotty and incomplete. He later provided more information to the creditors’ lawyers, listing 60 transactions on Amazon, multiple entertainment subscriptions, various Apple services and products, Uber rides and payment of some of his business partner’s personal credit card bill.

    Giuliani was famous for going after homeless beggars when he was NYC mayor.

    He was a bully and a thug and no humiliation is enough for him.

            For a second I thought he was making fun of Trump. Like Giuliani “cleaned it up” and Trump said it was a “hellhole”. They can’t get their facts straight.

            Although I notice that it was a pretty good idea to buy property in that hellhole before it was “cleaned up”. Like it would have made you a ton of money.

    This is all the shit that conservatives give millennials grief for.

    Stop eating avocado toast and going to Starbucks, Rudy.

      If he could just stop eating approximately 17 avocado toasts an hour 24 hours a day this wouldn’t be a problem.

        I never had an avocado toast in my life, so I have no idea of the cost (or even if they’re any good), but I feel that 17 per hour is at least an order of magnitude short for that kind of budget.

          Its great and simple to make at home. Good bread, a clove of garlic, an avocado, salt and pepper. Make toast, rub garlic on toast then discard, evenly coat toast with avocado and finally salt and pepper to taste. Its creamy and filling, and you can easily modify it. Add chives or rocket, add hot pepper flakes or hot honey. Some bacon adds a lot, as usual.

          Depending on where you live, the cost for this at a cafe will be around $10. 17 avocado toasts an hour x $10 is $170/hr. With 720hrs in a month, that works out to 122k/month, or roughly his budget. The posters numbers were spot on.

      I’d really have to make an effort to spend $120k in a month (like, go out of my way to buy a car), not sure how he did that.

    Damn, I gotta declare me some fucking bankruptcy.

    I’m a “highly paid” (actually quite well compensated for the market) engineer and my monthly expenses are about 3k.

      I make 75k and live fairly comfortably, or I would if the corporations weren’t pinching us for every penny. Now I face a house that requires more repairs than I have money and time to rectify, and face a significant challenge for how to educate my young children in a way that will keep them interested and keep up with their aptitude. Can’t afford private schooling and public schools will be insufficient. I’m better off than most people I know.

    one of Mr. Giuliani’s lawyers, Gary C. Fischoff, said some filings have been delayed because “the accountant got upset at one point and wanted out.”

    That sounds like an interesting story …

    His proposed budget was $43K a month…

    So $1,387.10 a day, assuming a 31 day month.
    $57.80 an hour. Every hour.

    And he couldn’t hold to that? What a putz!

    That was a pretty long article to not mention once what the consequences are supposed to be. Why would he stick with the budget?

    In a month? Most people don’t make that much in a year. For reference, minimum wage in NYC is $15/hour, or $31,200/year working 40 hours a week. He spent almost four times that in a month.

    Ah right. No money. Living on a paltry 3x the national minimum wage salary for a year…. As the budget for every month. Which he still blew past 3x as much.
