I asked mikegriff33 what he'd tell his 22-year-old self after getting drafted in the first round.

His answer wasn't about football. It was about his mom.

"There's a difference between a want and a need. You want a lot of stuff...but what do you need?"

Mike became a millionaire overnight. And instead of buying cars, chains, and everything the league or todays culture says you're supposed to have .......he drove dealer cars his entire 10-year NFL career.

Not because he couldn't afford it. Because he understood the difference.

In a world where everyone's trying to look rich, this might be the realest financial advice you'll hear today. 

And it didn't come from a finance bro ....it came from a Griff's mama.
