A Frugal NBA Player
Is it possible to have a lot of money and still be frugal? Yes it is. Take Matt Bonner, the Toronto Raptor’s power forward. Unlike other NBA players, Bonner doesn’t spend his money on Bentleys, Mercedes Benzes, or BMWs. He doesn’t have a 32 room mansion that has a elevator or a shark tank. He lives his live frugally.
Instead of buying things that depreciate after they’ve been bought, he prefers to invest on things that appreciate. He doesn’t own a car and treks the one mile journey from his modest one bedroom apartment to the Air Canada Centre. He used some of the $4 million he’ll receive over the next four years to move his parents from a two bedroom condo into a three bedroom house.
This is how frugal Bonner lives:” “Just the other day I was at Subway and wanted to double the chicken in my sub,” he recalls. “But it was $2 more. I was like, What a rip-off!”
