That’s what happens when you create an entitlement culture in this country. It’s pathetic that people will leech off the government (productive taxpayers), but it’s even worse when you outright steal from your own family members.


No this is what happened when people don’t have to be financially literate to make money.

When being good at basketball for a 3 year stretch leads to generational wealth over night for people that would normally flip burgers, no one respects it or knows enough to protect it

One of probably 1000's of life skills my Dad (and Mom) taught me. Without knowing I would assume Beasley had no Father growing up. These types of stories infuriate me more than anything. I'm thinking at the very least, put your money in a couple of Vanguard Index funds that's not to be touched, and give yourself an allowance. What's so difficult about that? Then I come back to the reality that these guys didn't have a Mom or Dad to teach them these basic skills. I would like to think I would learn these things on my own but who the hell knows.
