Having said that, There are other ways for him to make some dough. Everyone deserves a living. Just do it with your boss, Le Nicks and call it something else.

I do see them calling it FMAC. I swear they will find a way to do it without the McVie's and Buck even if they needed to. But I promise, they will do it if they can. The environment is right for it.

It's called INVESTMENTS. They provide you with enough income for the rest of your life(no matter how long you live). Maybe not Stevie money, but enough to live on comfortably.

But yeah, Old Goatsy should just hire him as her drummer or percussionist. That's the easy answer. Fleetwood Mac is dead.

This. His CFP should have convinced him 20 years ago to move half of all the cash he had into a Roth IRA invested in an S&P 500 mutual index fund. (There’s an annual contribution cap for IRAs but no cap on total account value.) He’d have plenty without resorting to selling wine at Costco or silly electro-vests or all the crazy gadgets he’s been involved in.

Mick's never been smart enough to do these things. He always wanted to live like Stevie, on 1/10th of her money.
I've got an IRA, but also(right or wrong) invested a bunch of money into two different annuities, only because they're guaranteed for life. My biggest fear is living to be 95, but running out of money at 80.

People hate on annuities, but there's nothing wrong with buying a little peace of mind knowing you will have a guaranteed cash flow coming in despite whatever the market is doing.

That's IT. I've got no kids to worry about. I've got two financial planners, and we went through ALL the options, marking them off one by one, until we were left with annuities. It's about guaranteed cash flow for the rest of your life. Now, that said.......if I die before about 77, I lost, because it takes that long to be into "THEIR" money. But if I live to be 95, I was sucking off of their teat for the last 18 years. It's a gamble. But like I said, my greatest fear is outliving the money. I can't, this way. Hell, if I KNEW I was going to die at 65, I could be traveling the world constantly, NOW. With my luck, I'll probably die the day I enter into THEIR money territory.

EDIT - I'll add, that if you find out that you're terminally ill, you CAN cash it out, and spend your money on hookers and blow.

Oh, I totally assumed you would have that all buttoned up before you signed off on anything!

Never underestimate the value of those two things in life.

Especially the latter...

Personally, I don't really mind what they call themselves. It could be 'Buckingham, Nicks And Fleetwood', for example. "Just get some ribbons and some bows, and get back out on the road again!"

The clock is ticking and it won't ever stop, so please, for the love of their fans make amends and finish their careers as they started all those years ago.

None of us are getting any younger and other singers and members of other bands are passing away every day, as are members of this forum!

Nope. Stevie already ruined the ending of FM. Christine is dead. We had all five back together, and that old hag Stevie had to ruin it.
