There are lots of things that American kids of *all* colors can do to greatly increase their chances of having a decent,comfortable,respectable life."Pay attention in school" and "don't hang out with punks" are just two that come quickly to mind.

But of all those many things the single most important,the single most useful,is *stay away from booze and drugs*.

I read an article by a sports agent who helped his clients manage their money. And his main rule was to put half of it away for the future. He wanted them to enjoy the good life their money allowed for, but, to always hold back half for when your playing career was over.

Not to be a nanny stater on this, but sports leagues might do more to counsel these young guys who come into millions on how to handle their money. A pro sports career may well be over by age 30 , and then they have the rest of their lives ahead of them.
