Hurts says he did hire a financial advisor and has three tips on how to save money.
"Instead of buying a brand new car because it depreciates as soon as you get off the lot, you can buy a used car or lease a car. Instead of going out to eat all of the time at these five star restaurants, you can simple cook at home. Or, a person like me, I'm going to take me a few to go plates from the [Eagles' practice ] facility. The third way you can save money is on the phone plan, like straight talk, because it runs on the same major networks as other brands. Instead of hiring a landscaping company, you can hire a local kid from the community to come cut your grass like I used to do."
