"Comfortability comes different with each person. Some value money some don’t value money. Some play for the dream. But if I’m being honest with you, they don’t pay enough. You’re telling me professional athletes should make the same wage as a 14 year old McDonald’s burger flipper? It’s astonishing. I wasn’t worried because I was always smart with every dollar I received. But you definitely aren’t going out to Mastro’s and getting a filet mignon. Cross that reservation out."
