Clippers: Josh Smith salary hard on family

[TDMVPDPOY]

Some come from impoverished backgrounds and naturally want to give back but you have to secure yourself. And it has to be tough saying no to all of your hanger-oner's, not to mention the random leeches looking for ways to spend your money.



Didn't you just see what happened to Tim Duncan? He thought he had people checking on people that were also checking on people. It's a cut throat sociopathic world, which is why you live as if you work as the store manager at Best Buy.

td shouldve just sat on his money and earn interest income on it, then go into business...fck that ...9/10 businesses fail in its first 3years of operating, why even bother...yeh sure he has money to burn, but why invest into if ur not committed...

and fck freeloaders and leechers of the community, there is only a point u can help them, u cant sustain to help all their lives....family first, t hen whatever...but dont get too attached or held ransom by them...where were they when u were poor? did they help you?

He might want to consult David West' financial adviser on how to make money grow.

West must be making a killing in investments if he can forfeit $11 million.

That last paragraph is easier said than done. If you say no too often, you alienate people and appear to have become an elitist or stingy. If you say yes too much then you obviously run the risk of losing your money overnight. It's a tough call.

Best thing you can do is help your family out once with things like buying a car and helping with education and maybe (if your suPer wealthy) a decent middle class house with the understanding that that is it and make it clear that you will never give them a dime.Maybe for your mom/siblings you can provide a modest monthly income to supplement their own career wih the stipulation that they continue some type of gainful employment so that they too can enjoy an easier life.

Just don't be an idiot like vinny chase from entourage and have dudes leeching and buying them 100k cars.

NBA should have an option to pay these animals like the lottery. A few thousand a month for the rest of their lives. These losers have no concept of the future. Dumb animals...

lol Sprewell turned down 21m / 3 years to retire. Is likely bankrupt by now

Not likely, he is. He never got another contract, his boat was repossessed the next summer and his house was foreclosed on the following year

You help them get a good job so they can help themselves permanently, not something like a car which they can total the exact same day it's bought. What you brought up about education is yet another good example, pay for and provide for it.
