Thread 521243659

Most stories of NBA players are from rags to riches. However, there are some who have gone from rags to riches and then back to rags. Such is the case of Sebastian Telfair.

This kind of shit gives me anxiety just thinking about it. I can’t imagine ‘making it’, being finacially free the rest of your life. Living life on easy mode, but some how fucking it all up and starting back at level 1.

>>521243659 (OP)
His story started on the projects with not one single so-called authority figure ever teaching him about money management.
Or the right way to behave in general, less to do with brilliance than just avoiding stupidity.
It's one thing to earn it, what just as tricky is keeping it: "investments", former wives, the taxman, the lawyers, blah de blah...

>>521244358
youre overthinking it

>>521244427
All he had to do was give his money to a trusted financial institution like Fidelity or one of the others, get a reputable lawyer, and live life on easy mode. They would’ve managed his finances and legal situations and he’d probably still be growing the 19 million he made from the nba.

it can happen, COVID fucked up a lot of people

this is wypipos fault i just knows it

>>521244358
Based on your post I assume you aren't black and thus don't have to worry.

Nice to see a circus animal returned to his natural environment.

>>521244358
People who are able to imagine this future scenario and feel anxiety about it are immune to this happening to them.

>>521244902
Yeah I’m white. If I had made 19 million I’d live in a modest house with a modest car, living on less than 100k per year of millions I’ve made.

Guess he had breakfast after all

This is a prime example why reparations are a bad idea, among other reasons. All that money would flow straight in to the bank accounts of Cadillac dealers, jewelry stores, and night clubs. It's great if you own one of those businesses but sucks for everyone else and at the end the dumb niggers will be just as poor and stupid as they are now.

Niggers gonna nig
At least he's where he belongs now

There is a reason it is called "nigger rich"

>>521243659 (OP)
Sheeeeeet.

He was a star athlete and he had the discipline for that.

I could live extremely comfortably and actually enjoy my hobbies for tge rest of my life with 20 million and have million left over

How did he even get a spot in NYC public housing? People wait 15 years to get their name called.

>>521244798
But it is, you see...if white people were oppressing blacks they would have abetted education and know how to manage their funds more appropriately when given large sums of cash all at once. Its white people fault they feel the need to have 6 diamond necklaces and highly overpaid cotton t shirts. Its white peoples fault they need to spend the amount of money on a car as a house costs. Because white people need to be shown that black people can be rich too. You see...

legacy admissions are a thing at prestigious institutions

>>521243749
Punctuation is dead

>>521246211
And most of all, they would still blame whitey, so the "we're even" part of reparations would be ignored.

>>521244648
I mean, I know we're on 4chan but it seems to me that critical thinking is a skill that needs to be taught to all working class people.

>>521244648
This is also how women and low T men think. It's low grade, almost undetectable, schizophrenia. These are the people who lack visualization capacity.

>niggers can be learnt gud thinkin
>bong flaggot
you get what you fucking deserve

>>521250721
You cannot teach critical thinking. Executive function, which critical thinking is downstream from, is one of the most heritable traits with studies showing 90-100% heritability. Post-WWII stratification of society has resulted in the lower socio-economic rungs being occupied almost entirely by people with low executive functioning and therefore low critical thinking.

This is why I support reparations. Niggers would be rich for 3.5 seconds, stock market would moon and nothing would change.

>be nigger
>be legally retarded by the standards that got removed for being 'racist'
>mupadoo bix nood shieeeeeet all your money away because actually retarded and can't understand cause and effect or planning

How do niggers do it? How do you get 20 million to your name and somehow lose it all? If I had 20 million I'd be set for life along with my children's lives.

Klutch mafia got him hooked on heroin as revenge for fucking Lebron's mom.

If reperations ever becomes a thing it'll inevitably lead to Italy, Mongolia and Norway going broke.

I can't believe his jew manager and jew lawyers also went broke too! Oh wait..

>>521244358
If he had enough drive to make it to a major sport he just hasn't learned to apply that same drive to other things.

>>521243659 (OP)
This doesn’t happen to nearly enough niggers affoleets, by which I mean it doesn’t happen to all of them.

None of them deserve to live in a house or eat regular meals. Goddamn subhuman apes.

>>521243659 (OP)
that's the problem with people, most think that once you start making million a month or a year that it will be like that forever. when reality those earning spurs are very temp for most

>>521243749
I still fuck it up all the time if I don't review

>>521251679
Ever heard of "nigger rich"? It means you have some money and then spend it like you need to get that shit off your hands ASAP. Niggers do not know how to save money or delay gratification. The concept of saving for tomorrow and the inevitable rainy day is alien to them. Why would they save? They have welfare and SNAP to pay for things in their section 8 housing. Why work? That's for peckerwood honkies! Why save up money? You can get them new Jordans now! Fuck the kids you sire with a bunch of women, they on da welfare!

It's how the subhuman race lives, moment to moment with no sense of the future or investing into a legacy.

>>521243659 (OP)
The nigger is incapable of making responsible life decisions.

>>521252595
Yup, people think the money will never run out. They have no idea how fast you can burn through cash if you have the chance to do so. They really think it will be infinite despite it being a very very finite resource for anyone.

Now apply this to the pavement ape and you'll see a creature that acts like cash burns them and tosses it everywhere. The typical nigger has no concept of planning ahead beyond their most base need.

Hell even that commie fuckboy Che Guevara would bitch about the niggers in Africa that he was trying to get to fight. They would spend frivolously and ignore his medical advice to not bang whores and shit. He eventually gave up and went back to Cuba with a lot of based shit to say about niggers. Too bad he was a commie faggot but even the left knows that niggers are lazy dumbshit monkeys.

brutal

>>521244648
Reminds me of the Dave chappelle/Rick James skit where Rick James slaps Charlie Murphy across the face, then Charlie slaps him back. A shocked Rick James says "WTF did you do that for nigga?" Charlie says "because you fucking just slapped me nigga!" In response Rick screams "but that was MONTHS ago motherfucker!"
