“I have a bright career ahead of me in mathematics. Beyond that, I have the means to make a good living and provide for my family, without playing football. I have no desire to try to accumulate $10 million in the bank; I already have more money in my bank account than I know what to do with. I drive a used hatchback Nissan Versa and live on less than $25k a year. It’s not because I’m frugal or trying to save for some big purchase, it’s because the things I love the most in this world (reading math, doing research, playing chess) are very, very inexpensive.”
A very, very smart fellow
Sounds like he’s got a good on his shoulders, on many levels.
Might it be time to quit while he's ahead? And invest that sizable nest egg?
Being able to live on less than 25,000 per year is frugal, even for a single man. When he marries all that will change. He may even realize he doesn’t have enough money in the bank, LOL.
