At the age of 22, I was living in a shitty little apartment working 3 jobs and trying to figure out if my pregnant girlfriend and I were even going to get married. If I had a 700K signing bonus, I'm sure I would have been more prudent with it then a ****ing Rolex and shoes, but if I didn't have all that responsibility, I could see blowing it on cars, guitars, guns, good booze, helping friends, and maybe a house. BUT...my folks would have been all over my shit and I listened to my old man (even if he did piss me off...he was right just about all the time). It never would have happened to me. Of course, I lived in town with them too, which was not the case with Travis.

Meh. Stupid people do stupid things with stupid money. Glad he grew up.
