Generally speaking we as a society aren't taught from an early age the value of saving money . It's spend spend spend to have the latest and greatest widget . Not everyone falls into this but the majority do .

The average Joe gets into credit card debt as an example and digs a deep hole . Poor people get into trouble with title loans or similar. High $$$ athletes are no different other than the amount of $$$ they piss away .

So lack of education , no personal discipline and you surround yourself with leeches . A recipe for financial disaster . There are way too many examples to deny the truth . Of course there are exceptions.
