Det som mest stack ut för mig var:

I once spoke to a group of NBA rookies. The topic was how to avoid the tragedy of athletes who make a fortune in their 20s and are bankrupt by age 30.

One player mentioned something I thought was so important. He said most outsiders think athletes go broke because they spent their money on jewelry and cars. Sometimes that’s true, but the most common cause is social debt.

“When you grow up in poverty and then you’re making $10 million when you’re 22, that’s not your money,” he said. “That’s mom’s money, dad’s money, grandma’s money, cousin’s money, friends’ money. You can’t just tell them ‘I got mine, good luck to you all.’”
