Marshawn Lynch says he walked around with his $3,000,000 signing bonus for 3 weeks and explains how he saved his NFL salary
“I don’t even know how to spend money. I walked around with my signing bonus on me for at least 3 weeks. ‘Cause I ain’t know nothing about banks and all that shit”
“So he like, "Marshawn, it'd probably be good if you had somebody help you watch your money”
“Well, I’mma just have one over here and I give all of my money that I make off the field, I'll just put it over here. And the money that I make on the field, I'll put it over here”
“Then any questions I got, or if some shit pop up, I'll just cross reference. Ask one about something and I don't understand it, I go and drop some words over to this financial advisor”
“That’s the way that I worked the two. I had my off-the-field money in one account, my on-the-field money with a different financial advisor. Shit worked out”
