The article said that he saved $700, not that he made $700. Do you not understand the difference?

Bahahahaha

- He made $700 for the summer

- His brother handed down a 2002 Honda Civic LX for free

- He spent $500 on shoes for his teammates

Of the remaining $200 he stated, "I spent $100 of it at the store and then the rest of it I kept in my wallet."

Maybe you two are the ones having difficulty?

Maybe he earned 2000 but spent 1300 on food, parties, trips, during the summer.

No, it says that he saved $700. Meaning that at the end of the summer, $700 is what was left of whatever he made. That he spent $500 of his savings on shoes, spent $100 on other things at the running store, and kept $100 in savings doesn't have anything to do with this discussion.

This could mean that he made $1,500 over the summer, spent $800 over the summer, and then spent/saved the remaining $200 as described in the quote. We don't know how much he made.

I was trying to be a smartass when I asked if the poster knew the difference between savings and earnings. I didn't realize that I'd actually have to explain it to someone.

Very cool story and great gesture on his part.

baahahahahahaaa

what brand? Did they all get the same kind? Very cool story

What a great guy. You have got to want someone like that on your college team or your business.

There are some damn fine people in the world. Can't say I'm one of them. Props to this guy.

"After scrimping and saving every penny he could for a car, Pressley instead walked into Running Wild’s recent Spike Night event and hooked his crew — all 11 athletes on the boys squad— up with new kicks."
