Yesterday, Matt touched on some of the more infuriating details from a recent interview Snooki did with GQ. The whole thing made him blind with rage, justifiably, so he may have missed one interesting little tidbit: Snooki says Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is broke:
GQ: So what do you spend your money on?
Snooki: I save it. Jersey Shore is going to end soon. I’m not going to spend money like Mike [The Situation]. He’s already broke!
Now, look, this could certainly be true. We’ve seen people go broke on far more money than The Situation has raked in (*coughHammercough*). And The Situation has never struck me as guy who has a rock solid investment scheme and long-term view on his finances. But, as always, it’s a good idea to take a step back and look at your source when you see a quote like this. I mean, I’m not saying you should question the accuracy of financial statements made by a woman whose biggest claim to fame is getting dumptrucked on umbrella drinks at trashy boardwalk clubs and accidentally displaying her vagina to strangers, but… …
No, that is what I’m saying. You should definitely do that. As an ironclad personal policy, preferably.

I’ll give him a dollar if he tries out my set of concrete shoes in the Atlantic Ocean!
Who needs money when you’ve got… you’ve got… such a fine sense of style?
/points at Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and does best Nelson Munz “ha ha” impression.
How big of a fuck up do you have to be to have worse financial judgement than Snooki?
And here I had him pegged as a savings and investment wizard.
Well I’ll be damned.
Wow, I think Snooks is the first reality star to acknowledge that her fame won’t last forever. I am impressed.
“And The Situation has never struck me as guy who has a rock solid investment scheme and long-term view on his finances.”
Wait, buying futures in Steroi… er, Supplements, Bronzer and Laundry Detergent isn’t a high ROI plan?

Nice job God *tips cap at sky*
Good thing he has that bright career of making appearances at Gold’s Gym to fall back on.
Step aside folks, I’m a CPA:

Rumored 2010 earnings: $5,000,000, estimated Income Tax: ($2,500,000), Rumored 3 high end sports cars he bought plus tax, title, license, insurance, ($1,000,000) Steroid and Valtrex prescriptions ($1,500,000)
Yep, sounds about right.
So does this mean that in general people with roughly 72 IQ may not be good with money?
The Situation = Jean-Ralphio
