TPM,
Great grounding perspective! Personally, if my son does get drafted out of high school, my assumption at this point is he wouldn't go high enough for what I would consider life changing money. Although my threshold for life changing may be higher than others. But I am a very analytical person by nature and love to crunch numbers! Not an exciting hobby! So at some point, I would take a stab at what is the magic number just for the hell of it. So all perspectives, advice and your guidance are greatly appreciated!
