It's very easy to say for me because I'm not a idiot. Gibbs and Brunell didn't have problems managing their money, they simply invested poorly. Brunell caught the brunt of the real estate collapse, and Gibbs wanted money for nothing. You can't give somebody cash, have no involvement, and expect good things to come out of it. Brunell was definitely dumb with his investments though. He got greedy and put way too many eggs in one basket.

Well putting money in questionable real estate is probably not a good way to manage money. I'm not comparing Young's situation to Gibbs or Brunell. Young spent lavishly on stupid crap, he deserves to be broke. But I'm sure if a lot of us were in his situation at 21 years old we'd all probably make some mistakes with that amount of money. That's all I'm saying. Now, would I have a 5k a week Cheesecake Factory bill? Or charter a plane for myself cause I wanted to be alone? No way in hell.
