This is both true, while also being a cop out and excuse at the same time.

When we reach enough maturity, around mid 20's, it now becomes time for us to gain greater self awareness and put in the time and effort to upgrade the tools we have, deal with our past traumas/influences, and address the impacts of our upbringing.

When you're a child, teen and younger adult, yes, there is more leeway, so that's when this is true.

After a certain point, this is just an excuse and just a sign of not engaging in growth and self improvement.

Many people fall into this false idea of using how you grew up as an excuse for behavior and decisions when they reach proper adulthood (no, not 18 years old "adult"). This is part of why we find so many adults acting like children, among other things like impacts of "safe" drugs on adolescent brain development and all the other fun stuff.

A part of the growth in being an adult, unless you have some sort of mental illness impeding you, in which case, that's the thing you need to deal with, but a part of the growth as an adult is being able to realize what tools you were (were not) given in your upbringing and to put in the work to upgrade your tools, to grow, improve, etc.


Its not an excuse, It was a statement. I said it can happen under the right circumstances. You can believe that's either true or not , but it cant be true or false at the same time.

I'm assuming you mean it can't be true and false?

In this case, it doesn't even require a paradox, though there are paradoxes that we live with.

Yes, it can be true that your upbringing and experiences affect your decision making ability, while also being true that after you have been given enough time for maturity, while it is still true that those things affect you, they are no longer acceptable reasons for consistent poor decision making as you are now responsible for leveling up and growing and finding or gaining the tools to do so.

It cant be both true and false.

If you don't believe it can happen under the right circumstances ...that's fine. If you do , that's fine.

It's not that serious. :)

Your first reply said true or false, so I wasn't sure if that's what you meant or if it was a typo and you meant and, so I was just clarifying. Cool though.

There is zero reason any nba player should be beoke.



They have one but it's not going to do anything when you're so deep in the red.

I'm extremely pro-player in the labor disputes between owners and management but players spending habits are a massive reason why the owners usually win.

The players are the product especially in a sports like basketball where the visual difference between pros and scabs is stark. If the players exercised a modicum of spending discipline the CBA would be much more generous to the players. But this story is a good example of how many athletes spending money as if they will be arrested for saving money.

No one to blame but himself. I’d get it if the player was a rookie who could no longer play in the NBA at like 23, Ariza had a long career.

it can happen you are absolutely right. but imo its inexcusable. Even the most self unaware (is that a word? :D) person should be able to at some point do some research or educate themselves about how to handle the money. i completely get you, if you come from a family and social circle, that just cant help you with that and/or you are not disciplined enough, you just gotta hire someone. with the internet and all information being accessible and available at any time, there really isnt any excuse anymore these days.

and trust me i get it, i come from a pretty poor family and im gonna be honest im not the best with money either. i have forgotten to do my taxes before, i have made dumb decisions financially and all that. today, i am lucky to be in a position to be able to pay someone, that can help me with all that. and if i can do it, the NBA players should be able to do it aswell.
im bout dat action boss
