Wow... Some of these cats got swindled out of their money... Dudes on here talkin' about what they would do with millions... Yet don't know any trust worthy accountants, let alone where to find one... It's not easy managin' that kind of money... So some KID from the South Side of Chicago who grew up on food stamps is supposed to know how to navigate the world of hedge funds & Bull markets because he signs an NBA contract for $50 Million...????? That logic is off... Bernie Madoff stole millions of dollars from average everyday folks... And they, like these former athletes, are now broke... It's easy to write these former stars off as idiots or losers... But there's more to it than that... Fa'real...
Yeah it is fucking stupid easy to manage that kind of money.
Put it in the God Damn bank and live comfortably off the interest for the rest of your life.
Not only is this entirely their fault, they had more than enough opportunities to take
the very same classes that you are all advocating be mandatory. Or did they not know college existed.
Our world could use a lot more accountability.
"it's not my fault I am fat, no one told me if I eat 5 Big Macs every day I will be fat"
"it's not my fault I am poor, no one told me if I spend all my money I won't have it any more"
"it's not my fault my dog attacked your kid, no one told me if I left it chained up 12 hours a day that it would become hostile and aggressive"
blah.
