LaKeith Stanfield says he spent his first $130,000 check on a car and was broke afterward
“I got my first check. It was like $130,000.”
“The only thing on my mind was getting this car that I really wanted.”
“I walked into the dealership with a duffel bag full of money and set it on the counter.”
“I drove off the lot, and I was broke.”
“I learned the value of knowing how to spend and use your money because I was struggling to pay my rent the next week.”
“If I had someone to mentor me and tell me, ‘That’s not how you spend your money,’ that would’ve been very, very helpful.”
