conversation: User (agjios): "Recently, Kobe Bryant wrote a letter to his younger self. Out of everything, he warned his younger self to INVEST in family, not to PAY for family. It's especially poignant with all of the threads here where a poster has family that expects him/her to bankroll them in some fashion, just because they can. Someone with more reddit acumen than I should add it to the related Wiki indexes. I think it would especially poignant in the "Windfall" link.\n\nhttp://www.theplayerstribune.com/kobe-bryant-letter-to-my-younger-self/\n\n&gt;When your Laker dream comes true tomorrow, you need to figure out a way to invest in the future of your family and friends. This sounds simple, and you may think it’s a no-brainer, but take some time to think on it further.\n\n&gt;I said INVEST.\n\n&gt;I did not say GIVE."
