ACW Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 I must say though, I'd love to make the amount of cash where I could AFFORD to leave that $250K on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnhay Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 He could've instead gotten a part-time job and made more money short-term, or engaged in voluntary fitness or special forces training to perform his main job better. Why couldn't he wait until he was out of the service? Why did he choose instead to "leave money on the table"? Why did he "turn his back on his job" by not using his off-time to train for it? What are you trying to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 He's obviously trying to send a message by doing this. But it's a good message, so why would anyone nitpick that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Money. He's decided,in this case,not to put things off any longer and getting it done now. He's making a decision that feels good to him. A decision that is right to him. Nothing "wrong" with that. We've all made decisions like that in our time. Didn't make them wrong. Just ones others may or may not have agreed with. Good that he's doing what he feels his right for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSilverMaC Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Do you actually believe that? There are a lot of things to be cynical about. But believe it or not, there are people who do things because they think it's the right thing to do regardless of if they pass up the opportunity to make more money. A very common motivator is being a good role model for your children. Showing your kids what is right is one of your main jobs as a parent. He's got a roof over their heads. He's got them fed. Now he needs to show them what is important. 250k to a multi-millionaire isn't much if he manages his money well. It's may be a lot to you or me, but to him it might be a small price to teach his kids a very important lesson that they will be able to pass on to their kids.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Shocked that anyone thought this move was anything but noble and admirable. Good for Ty Warren for doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Shocked that anyone thought this move was anything but noble and admirable. Good for Ty Warren for doing this. Agreed. To us, passing up $250K is crazy, but we don't make anything close to the amount of money that Warren makes. I would believe he has invested and saved his money wisely enough to do this move, and that this will speak volumes to his kids. Essentially, them seeing their Dad putting his education first will likely leave a lasting impression on them, and reinforce the message of how important education is. Well done Ty. You're a great Dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a great Dad. Again don't get it as to why he has to chose between the bonus and school. Why can't he do both and do them rite now? U think the school won't adjust the schedule to meet his needs or time? Not sure why this has to one or the other and not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U think the school won't adjust the schedule to meet his needs or time? Not sure why this has to one or the other and not both. He's taking 5 classes this semester. The school isn't going to adjust themselves to accommodate him. Plus, realistically Ty can't really effectively work on his classes in Texas and hop on a plane back to New England. That's exhausting, and wouldn't be worth the effort. As the article stated, Warren has never missed these things before and he's been a very good player for awhile for the Patriots. So long as it doesn't keep from from TC (which it won't) why shouldn't the man do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
