Tommy Griffin is a legendary high school basketball coach in Oklahoma.
Griffin’s wife, Gail, was also an educator.
But in the quest to earn a little extra cash, the couple started a trophy-making business as a side hustle, which gave their young sons – Taylor and Blake – an introduction to saving money.
Blake Griffin remembers being put to work and recalled how his mother taught him to designate money for several areas, one of which was saving.
“I’d split it up evenly,” Griffin said.
He paused, obviously thinking back to his time as a youngster.
