Message: [QUOTE="CusefanATL, post: 2239386, member: 853"] 2.5 mil isn't lasting Lydon or me or you the rest of our lives at 21. Hopefully he saves/invests 25% (high side) That is still only 625,000 of savings at 23. Plus some of which will be matched (generously) by nba... we'll call it $1,000,000. We all know 1,000,000 wouldn't last a 60 yr old who is used to making 100k a year. How would it even be in the ballpark of last a 23 yr old making 50k a year?! let alone 1.2 mil. Its more than money management. He needs a long term job or a 2nd contact. a 1 yr 900k deal only helps him in prolonging the inevitable. If you retire at 39 (high side) you need A LOT more money than if you retire at 65 (obviously) [/QUOTE]
