Money can't buy happiness and good health.

Hate to hear it but it hits the best of us.

First Jeff and MacKenzie, now Bill and Melinda. Apparently Washingtons power couples are finding it's better to play the single game. Take note lonely hearts of Seattle lol.

I wish them both the best. It can be hard feeling the pressure to put up with the blah just because of the convenience or outside perspective. In many ways money can become a trap in marriage. Its important to be fully happy versus only riding the waves.

Bill is spending too much time at his home in Japan. Next thing you know he'll be announcing his marriage to a Japanese woman, something he should have done in the first place.

It's kind of sad to split up after all those years but they both said they'd remain devoted to their charities. I think they've given a lot of money for education and health. Too bad we have to depend upon billionaires. If only our government would do the type of things they've been doing. They seem like good people.

First thing I thought of, and actually made a post of in the Comments section of the online story, was "What's her name, Bill"?
