And he's exactly right. Put yourself on a generous budget and invest the rest. Too many players splurge the first couple of years living beyond their means, then when they get injured or cut file for bankruptcy. They get caught up in impressing team mates and other players with fancy cars, big houses and fast living and blow everything they have thinking the money will be there forever.

I remember reading that Gilbert Arenas had spent his entire rookie salary before his draft. It’s absurd how some of these cats spend their money literally faster than they bring it in. An injury could have put him right back where he was.
