This is how I would be. Lifestyle inflation not gonna get me. Especially as an athlete. Their earnings through their lives are a bell curve

Wouldn’t spend a dollar until my second contract if I were in that position

Easy to say that now. When we were 18-21 regardless of background, most kids are not saving like that.
I'd probably let my parents hold all my money until my second contract at that age

I don’t spend money now. Never spent money. My goal is to leave anything I have to my heirs

Nah man you spend most of that trying to keep up with richer players and it’s not worth it. I definitely get doing something nice for yourself though.
Financial responsibility isn’t easy for the average person anyway.

Tatum said he’s never spent a dollar of his contract money and has been living off endorsements. That man is brilliant

I think the NBA has mandatory financial courses they make draftees go through.
Plenty of finance books out there too, its really 90% behavioral/psychological when it comes to saving/investing or changing your spending habits.

This is the best way to do it. Majority of the NBA doesnt get these deals though.

I pack a lunch every day
I lived at home until I was debt free and then for 2.5 years after that
I keep an excel budget where I track what I spend down to the penny
2022 was first year I can say I got myself a “nice thing”. Life is short and I’m trying to be better about being a miser but eh

They do but at the end of the day it’s up to the person. Can’t imagine going from not having anything to being able to have everything you want after one night in June. It’s a lot
