re: Jeremy Hill new ride

it's completely not uncommon to hear of a relatively new college grad earning, say, 50K a year, to buy a 25K car and finance it to pay for it over 5 years. Whether or not this is considered to be wise is besides point of my comment here. these kinds of younger adults assume they will still have a job in 3 years (or if they lose job, would be simple enough to quickly find another).
glimpsing over other responses here, it seems Mr. Hill will be earning $1,000,000 per year average over next 4 years (??).
if this is in fact the case, simple proportion suggest to match a boilerplate college grad, Mr. Hill would be buying a 500K car.
Given the purchase is a maserati priced at maybe 1/5th of that, its hard to fault him for being irresponsible.
the problem as I see it isnt that he bought a luxury car, its more that he is setting a standard in his quality of life that isnt realistic to expect throughout his life... yet.
if he is injured or doesnt perform well before a second, larger contract - this may be the last extremely nice car he ever has (at the young age of 22ish).
of course, he could have short lived NFL career and still go on to be enormously wealthy businessman.
point being, so what if the kid wants a luxury car.

J-Hill will be okay. He just needs to make sure he dont go knocking up hoes.

Better jetison the 'boys from the hood' to stay out of trouble and hang on to your money. A posse gets real expensive.

Beautiful car.....actually my favorite Grand T color scheme.
I hope he lets this purchase be his itch scratching. No harm if the bleeding stops here......I suspect it will not though. 75% of former NFL players went bankrupt. Is what it is.
He's a kid having fun so no character assassinations needed folks. Hope the young fella gets on board with his teams financial advisory staff.

Just hope he doesn't forget to put some of that pay check away for his hommie Obama and the tax man.
Read somewhere there Antwaan Randal-El actually had to borrow money come tax time bc it never occurred to him (or his agent apparently), that the NFL only pays during the season and they may not withhold enough.

Good for him.. I hope he has a good financial guy that will keep him from blowing through all of it.

Why is everyone so surprised?????
Posted on 6/24/14 at 5:24 pm to Mshargois3
This is why they leave school without a degree, it's not to take care of family. They can't do anything else.

This is what he should have bought!
Seriously though, let the kid do what he wants with his money. If he has more in 4 years or 10 years good for him. If he's broke in 2 oh well.
Hope he has a good long career.

I would have bought a Subaru or something.

Does a stroller fit in there?

A car is a depreciating asset. Some people are dumb, buy a house or invest it in the market.

He will be broke 2 years after his career
