I can't post the link but he listed 1.4 million in assets and over 800K in debt.

I guess the old tv format doesn't work so well in the era of YouTube and streaming.

Sounds like he made some poor choices the last several years. I hope to be retired when I am 70 and not trying to figure out how to pay off debt. It says he owns two houses and some hunting land. My thought is, if things are not good financially, it is time to sell a house or something.

Spent a lot of time watching him in the 1980s. Hope things work out.

1.4 mil in assets and 800K in debt means he is 600K to the good. That's not a very good retirement nest egg but it sure isn't bankrupt.

I've known Babe for years this has been a long time coming. He's made a lot of money but he's also made a lot of poor choices. Too bad.

Most of those assets are his home and office. He has a farm also but he may have sold it by now.

Yes I agree things have gotten dire. Any smart guy would put on some camo and go to the turkey woods.

I wish you luck, and hope you have to walk at least a hundred yards.
