    Won’t spend any of it? Ok cool, renegotiate for the vet min and get us under that apron baby. Gotta stay motivated and keep grinding.

    Gronk did the same thing. Lived on endorsement $$$. Smart.

    With all his endorsements, doesn’t really make sense to spend much. What are you going to buy that actually impacts your quality of life?

    People overestimate the impact of wealth, ignoring hedonic adaptation. Guys with a garage full of cars aren’t getting much enjoyment per car. They are likely getting very little and are never satisfied.

    No doubt about it, poverty sucks. But guying buying new jewelry aren’t adding anything to their happiness since they are more on a treadmill of trying to eliminate FOMO. It doesn’t really move the needle, while draining their bank account.

    He can live a luxurious superstar lifestyle with a fraction of that wealth and invest the rest to fund philantrophic causes to improve the lives of thousands that would otherwise endure the suffering he’s alluding to.

    Not to say that he has any obligation to do that, but the implication that he would have to be frugal to avoid the financial struggles he experienced seems fairly myopic. To be fair, it seems much more the lean of the writer’s perspective than anything coming from Tatum.

  5. He’s not short of cash for fun.
    Great clip yesterday of him talking about justifying expenses to mom, $12k for a good night in Miami but it isn’t Celtics money.

    Cut the crap JT, you are driving a maybach, no bad thing in enjoying fruits of your labor

  7. Impressive money management for a 19 year old
