Broke or Wealthy? Jalen Hurts How I Spent My First $1 Million

[@MilesLeslie]

Humble, talented and he knows how to save his money! We love to see this!!

[@therealspleen52]

I think it’s really cool to see aswell, just seems down to earth financially and personally.

[@chuckmartin935]

Jalean had a massive head start in life -he had two great parents. His Dad had big influence on him.

[@ajtaylor8750]

This was my favorite one from GQ because Jalen was giving guys gems that nobody talks about, especially bout getting a used car or leasing one. No need to buy a brand new supercar when you don't even have the money to afford it.

[@Sabre2015]

afford it plus maintaining it 💀

[@kurt-vanmorgan635]

This is one of the best million spent by an athlete. Thanks for covering this episode bro

[@k_e3735]

Imagine what he can do now??

[@SqueaksUofA]

Jalen is the epitome of a leader and one of the highest character guys you will ever see. Respect to his parents and I'm thankful I was able to watch him play at Bama.

[@user-ff1kd6fe5k]

This is the difference between being raised in a middle class environment and poverty. His values are not based on what you wear, drive or how much money you can flash. We are a product of our environment so it's hard to knock athletes who go crazy and blow their money

[@xJinRaGna]

A lot of kids get bad advice. Some tell these kids to give it their all in sports and coaches don't even care if their athletes get barely passing grades. If they don't make it to a top tier college or make money out of it, they're stuck after sports. I know a girl who wanted to be a math teacher and got into multiple colleges. She didn't get many scholarships but wanted to be a math teacher. Adults told her to not worth about finances and just go to the best available college. She went to UC Davis with barely any scholarships and is now in $90k debt and is gonna have to pay that all back the rest of her life. She could've went to community college and 2 years at Davis instead and saved a lot of money.

[@eve_______]

@@xJinRaGna Yeah, like this year I was met with a choice of going to the top 25 worldwide Uni for roughly 140 k dollars for 3 years without the cost of living. I figured I wouldn’t want to spend all that money and went to top 220-340 Uni that is rly cheap (Like 10K for 4 years) Idk if I did the right choice, but I could always try to go to better Uni for masters, or start self-educating myself and trying to get into entrepreneurship or investment.

[@trapadvisor]

I was born in poverty and surrounded by it my whole life. And let me tell you when I save up money it’s never just to blow on one designer shirt and when I see my college tuition it’s going to be stretched as far as possible and what I have left over from this first payout I’m going to put into fixing up something around my run down house. Edit: community college btw

[@SammmLLL]

fr, ppl that come from poverty usually try to show they made it out and end up blowing all their money up

[@blackspiderman1887]

Like many of us would do with our first $1 million dollars, Jalen Hurts got his one spending spree out of the way, he bought jewelry and clothing, but after he got that out of his system, Jalen Hurts was as level headed as he comes across.

[@johnyun6885]

Now he's on a contract that could be up to $255m over the next five years. Well deserved, can't wait to see how he contributes to the people around him and his community. Respect!

[@saurabhdeo1196]

Such a humble player/man. I hope he gets a big second contract and has nothing but success! Great review :)

[@timfeeney1591]

I'm huge Eagles fan and this dude has already won me over and he hasn't even started his second season with only four starts under his belt. He seems like a real leader and definitely has the mental toughness to thrive in Philly and in the NFL . I think he has a MVP in his near future and will be the starting QB for Eagles for many years. I really believe in this dude..

[@gigitman123]

This guy is awesome, seriously a good head on his shoulders. Shout out to his folks for raising such a humbled and good minded individual

[@sadkfjasdkl4543]

Jalen Hurts has always been my favorite player. Not his talent or work on the field but his personality

[@blaccpanther777]

No matter what amount of wealth you possess, Jalen shows you can truly bring good fortune into your life by spending more on others than on yourself and preparing for your future. This is the advice I needed and I’m far from a million.

[@ChaseYokoyama]

I love this series

[@briankeller4480]

My favorite GQ show you have done. I hope he continues with much success. He is looking out for others.

[@albertotorres_1]

Jalen will be the the long term starter of the Eagles.

[@TheQuietStorm08]

I’m a Cowboys fan but Jalen Hurts seems like a good guy. When you’re humble and know that nothing is promised, you treat everything like it’s your last. Gotta love it. Keep it up!

[@pvrhall]

Hey Spencer, I notice your expansive book collection in the background. I was wondering if you could do a video on what books you would recommend to your viewers. Thank you. P.S. Jalen comes off as a very frugal and giving guy based on what he did with his money.

[@Micah_Not_Micha]

Spencer, as soon as I watched the Jalen Hurts episode, I thought of you. This young man seems to have a good head on his shoulders, thus he appears to default to making very solid choices. Loved watching him at Alabama and Oklahoma. Another great video, Spencer! Take care. 👊🏾

[@katcraig7525]

I have so much respect for this dude. I've been a fan for years. ROLL TIDE

[@lt7564]

Huge year for him coming up money wise and he's got a rookie head coach and a coordinator with 1 and half years as coordinator experience. If he has a good year, wins some games as a starter, that gives him years somewhere in the league. If he has a bad year, he could slide out of the league fairly quick. Pulling for him!

[@NatePolmateer]

This guy is top notch, gentleman! He has given so much back really shows his character. Thanks for covering the Spencer!

He's going to do great things for us in Philly so I'm excited!

[@sikskillz2186]

this guy had great parents, but just being taught is not enough, you have to want to do it, you have to make the decision. He seems to be all in, you can tell he knows it’s important to be conservative, but he also is happy to treat himself to what he really wants, and he was happy to do something good for people in real need, their are people that want your money to use it to do wrong, so it’s great he found a good way to benefit others. He’s not caught up in the buy beyond your means, you can get the gucci later, no need to fake rich, but what you like, for what can afford. this should be inspiration to a lot of young people.

Man. Looking back at this and seeing where he is now… hard working dude who has a good head on his shoulders. You mentioned you don’t see him being a starter for long & I think a lot of us felt that way but man has he exceeded everyone’s expectations and earned his money. Got himself a big contract and will probably be a perineal MVP in the league. 255mil . Go get your new car brother!

[@SpencerCornelia]

yep, I was definitely wrong about him. I should have seen the leadership in him from the go and given him a better chance at succeeding.

[@johnmoses681]

One thing I disagree with you is Jalen Hurts should have been a first round draft choice. He will have a long NFL career because he has something that most other QBs coming out of college lack, natural born leadership abilities and he's been a natural born winner at every level.

[@rars0n]

Alright, Jalen Hurts is a seriously nice guy. Very down-to-Earth. I'm shocked that he gave $30k to charity. No doubt this was at the advice of his financial advisor, since that's a tax write-off. It's STILL an amazing gesture though. Charity is something most guys probably never imagine when spending their first million, and yet it can make a lot of sense. I personally hope that he succeeds in the NFL, because this guy really has his priorities straight. Sure, the chains are probably a poor investment, but everyone is allowed to splurge a little bit when they score that first deal. He didn't overdo it, and he will be a good example for other guys entering the league. Edit: My bad, I misunderstood, he gave $60k! The $30k was just the downpayment on a house! Which is an amazing thing to do! I respect this man a lot!

[@rars0n]

Dude! $15k on remodeling your mom's house? If the work is done well, that's money well-spent! It sounds like he got a decent amount done at a very reasonable price. Giving back to your parents is a nice gesture as well. He doesn't seem to be wasting nearly $100k on a vehicle either, so home remodeling is probably really smart. At this point I'm commenting as I'm watching, so I apologize for leaving so many comments.

[@ruipedro4337]

Jalen seems like a really cool guy, I'd guess he's saving all that money for now just because he doesn't want to rush in any way. That's what I would do if a million bucks appeared in my bank account: pay my car, my house, a little remodel here and there, and then take some time to really think it through.
