"Young spent $5,000 per week at Cheesecake Factory during his rookie season, according to other reports in 2012. He once paid $6,000 at a T.G.I. Fridays. He paid a kid $200 to haul his luggage at the airport. And he would do $600 shots of Remy Martin at Morton's after games. An adviser reportedly once said that Young once got a loan to throw himself a $300,000 party."

i just dont get it. how do you NOT put half away for savings? especially during the worst depression this country has ever seen, and right after the iverson story went viral???!!!! at least iverson had a REALLY smart friend... or uncle or whatever that stashed 50mil away where he cant touch it until 55!

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

if i was spending money like there's no tomorrow and living the high life, not sure i'd be frequenting Cheesecake Factory and TGI FRidays

how the hell can you spend that much at those places anyways ? if the place was at max capacity and he paid for everyone in the restaurants bill i'm not sure it would get to 5K . do they even carry top shelf liquor at TGI Fridays ?

I always said that if I ever won the lottery or otherwise came into a large sum of money, the first thing I would do would be to hire a financial planner and a lawer to help me out.

The second thing I would do would be to hire a second lawer to watch the planner and first lawer.

Give 5 Million dollars to a trusted person or entity not to be touched for ten years


Spend like it's going out of style.


All set.

But yeah, Arps is correct. I mean, even if he just took $1million and invested it at a 10% return, he's making $100K a year. Might not be able to drop $4000 at TGIFridays every week, but he could still live comfortably on that.

You know what I mean. 6% would still be 60K, which is a lot more than most people live in per year, plus you'd have the initial million you invested.

$5000 at the Cheesecake factory. I can't even fathom that unless his tab was covering 100 people.
