Look up how many pro athletes who clocked 7 and 8 figure annual incomes, went broke.

I go to investigate and there is a middle age lady with a nice wrangler (I suspect 35” tires, recovery points, not old (in good shape)).  

The firm tried to give investors hope they might recover something in restructuring an investment, but the timeframe was years out and it would be a tiny recovery.

If you are an elite actor or athlete or executive, NYC allows you the option to do nothing but excel at that.

The only group of people who come close in my experience are professional athletes.

In my research I've found that there are a handful of developers who are spending big money to renovate and rehab the downtown area and that the Scranton School Board is under new leadership, allowing the district to finally exit from its "financial recovery" phase.

For example, I am a little concerned about some aspects of the business cycle recovery and a potential for a double-dip so I lean toward the safest part of capital stack which is debt (or low-debt equity).

It could be a long road to recovery—meaning there is plenty of time and there will be plenty of opportunities.  

Apparently she’s made some recovery progress to the point that returning home would have been an option.

Was there any recovery?
