But it's not like we were just paying Downs pennies. Yeah, if someone offers you a $2M pay raise, or even a $1M raise, you gotta consider it. But I highly doubt it was that much more, maybe 500k more. To me, that's not enough to make a decision based solely on money. He was likely already making $1M+. Plus, most of these guys have insurance in case of injury, so they're still gonna get paid again, even if they get hurt. How much money do you realistically need? I could live very comfortably for years on $1M, but that's not what most of these players do. They end up buying expensive cars that they don't even need, or they give it away to any friend or family member with their hand out, and then they go ask for more money

I’m not sure about your situation, but 1 million doesn’t go that far today. I don’t blame any kid for trying to get as much as they can in this system.

Wut? $400k on a house and 600k in a fund and find you a piddling job and live off the dividends.

I typically don't spend 100k in a year, and while my spending would inevitably go up if I had that kind of money, I could realistically make that last 5 or 6 years, and still live a pretty luxurious life, because most of the things I want aren't very expensive. They get all this money and the first thing they do is spend 200k on a car. They don't even have to pay for their school, or even housing in many cases, and yet somehow we think they need to be paid more. I think teaching these kids how to spend their money responsibly, would go a lot further than just directing them to chase more money.

400 doesn’t buy a house anywhere but nowhere (no offense)

First of all, being where everyone else wants to be is part of the reason people are so broke.

Second, paying more money to be around the freak show that is society truly baffles my mind. It’s not like we’re all out here using the same party line to communicate.

Bump it to 7, it doesn’t matter. You put $200k plus in the right place and you can have a routine job and live just fine. The idea you can’t make it with one million extra dollars is crazy

That’s not what he is saying. Also people don’t want to live “just fine” I know I want to excel and set my family up for life. Travel and create great memories experiencing the world with them. Obviously that means smart decisions and not wasting money on junk.

Not having to drive an hour to work and saving time is definitely worth money as time is the most valuable asset. This means living closer to cities/towns. But different things for different people.

1mil isn’t nothing but it’s not what people think it is, especially if you have kids.

now this isn’t what this thread is for and belongs on the non sports.
