re: Well, this didn't take long

I'm 22 now and about to graduate in May I spend maybe $80/week. It's not hard at all!!! I live off campus buy my own groceries, cook my own meals, and I eat pretty well. I usually am a breakfast bar in the morning, turkey sandwich for lunch, and chicken or venison something good for dinner. I don't drink so that helps out on the food bills but 80 a week is easy especially if you don't go out!!!!

5' 9" 185 I mean the turkey sandwich is big with decent sides what kills college kids on money is going out to eat and alcohol!!!

$80 a week is crazy. No way I could have pulled that off

I guess if you don't want it then don't play. No one is making these guys play football.

And while we're at it: adoring fans, crowds cheering for you every Saturday, countless women throwing themselves at you, and you get to do what most men only dream of: wearing red and white playing football between the hedges with some of the best football talent in the world. Yeah, that's worth getting up at 6am for.

Don't forget the opportunity for a payday greater than any of us will likely ever see. And for the few of us that do see that multi-million dollar payday, how many will see it at just 23-25 years old?

GTFO with this we do work hard bullshite. I'm not saying they don't, but it isn't like there is not some massive reward at the end that 99% of the people in the world will never even get the opportunity to compete for, much less actually achieve. On top of that, they only spend a few years getting there, the rest of us are going to spend much longer getting to a much more mundane reward.

Seriously, any of the players that have that attitude can go play in traffic on the 10 loop.

Maybe im missing the point, but their 3 squares a day and rent and utilities and transportation are already provided, so the 71 per week is just bonus cash, right? I know random school expenses come up, got to buy extra shite for a lab, drop some change at beljean to bind a report from time to time, but its still 70 a week pretty much bonus cash, right?

Not just three squares -- three good squares a day. Athletes eat well. At least they did when I was I school.

Then yes, i join the ranks of those who got by on 70 or less per week. Thats with girlfriends too.
