He is starting to sound like one of those young NBA players, they don't invest they spend and so many of them end up broke. There are the rare once straight out of high school like a Kobe LeBron who maintained there fortune but so many others. Thank goodness for his parents.
He's 17 now so they have one more year to try to guide his decisions. If
he thinks he can afford a $500,000 car and if he really can then he must have
an insane contract.Sports people should be more like tech people, they make an ungodly amount of money when they are really young like Zuckenberg who many years after becoming a billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg was known for driving modest, inexpensive cars rather than luxury vehicles. He preferred practical, non-ostentatious vehicles, such as a black Acura TSX, a Volkswagen Golf GTI, and a Honda Fit. These cars were valued around between $20,000 and $30,000 dollars.
That's a major difference between young tech guys and young guys in sports. In sports that money be burning a hole in their pockets as the saying goes. A $500,000 car for a 17 year old is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. He sounds like a darn rapper. Thank goodness for his parents.
You can purchase a cool car for under $100,000. He best invest some of that money. Track is not one of those sports with a "Players Union" and a strong retirement plan but it is a sport where there is always the challenge of fighting off injury.

No. He’s not like the NBA goofs and the story is bunk. You’re just one of the hate Cooper crowd an earlier poster noted. That’s why you provided such a massive post about nothing.
