Gord has stated before (in interviews and
in song) that he pays a considerable sum in alimony and "palimony". I'm sure that has put a dent in his life savings over the years. However, having been a major star in his home country for many, many years, no doubt he has someone who watches his money and makes investment decisions for him. I have a feeling that, except for a few splurges, big house, probably a nice car or cars, he does not spend a lot of money on "toys". I doubt he owns a plasma tv. If he has a DVD player, it's probably a recent addition. From a reporter's observations when he was putting together "Harmony", he has few furnishings in his house. Of course, he lives pretty much alone these days. So I guess he saves a lot of his money and getting back on the road would be good for him not only professionally but financially too. This is the first album release where he hasn't had the opportunity to do concerts to support it, so he's probably not happy about that.
