$3 million annually amounts to $250,000 monthly. I can have three big mortgage payments on three big homes throughout the country. I can buy a car each month. I can eat out whenever I want to. It's not hard to budget for that at all.

What's not easy is coming into $100 million. Every single intelligent person on this message board would handle $100 million A LOT better than these moron athletes.
This is the same example i gave my friends & family that you can live off interest and not touch your initial money. I come from poverty still in poverty somewhat actually and i grew up and embraced the hip hop culture myself. By no means, would i blow the amount of money these guys blew. I was broke as a child but if i came up and earned, inherited multimillions of dollars my first thing to do is what can i do to NEVER BE BROKE AGAIN. To me that is common sense but we all know everybody doesn't have that.
