And he's exactly right. Put yourself on a generous budget and invest the rest. Too many players splurge the first couple of years living beyond their means, then when they get injured or cut file for bankruptcy. They get caught up in impressing team mates and other players with fancy cars, big houses and fast living and blow everything they have thinking the money will be there forever.
