Josh Allen's basement

Ever notice that when these guys get the huge money, they don't waste any time spending it?

 

I thought Josh was a farm boy from northern CA?  When did he pick up these sorts of money wasting spending habits?

 

I find it weird.

 

If I came by $50 million tomorrow, I would have a hard time spending huge chunks of it on random, unneeded stuff.

 

I guess it's just the different way people are wired.

 

 

 

Dude.  Josh Allen's annual average value on his current contract is $43M/yr. 

 

Full Swing says their pro simulator is $55k.  Suppose there are bells and whistles and extra courses that double the cost to $110k.  That's like 0.25% (not 2.5%, 0.25%) of Josh's AAV.  It's like a person with ~$130k annual income dropping ~$300 on a Shark AI robot vac at Costco.

 

If it lets him unwind by spending 15-20 minutes in his basement practicing his golf swing instead of booking time at a local venue and driving there/driving back, it probably frees up more time for him to recover from the game and watch extra film - good use of that 0.25% of 1 years $$

two items:

 

1) I always love seeing how expenses (fines, usually) work into a players salary as to how the average Joe might absorb a similar cost

 

2) The bolded was a very random selection of salary and purchase. A good emphasis for your point
