In an interview with the Wall Street Journal’s Alex Raskin, Hollis-Jefferson was refreshingly honest and opened up about money, “I have a family to feed” kind of way, but more in a, “welcome to the real world” kind of way.
“People know they can talk to me about anything,” he said. “But when it comes to money, I’m like, ‘I don’t have it.’ That’s my go-to line.”
To some extent, that is true. His first paycheck, while larger than any he had ever received, still fell short of expectations.
“When I saw the check, I saw half of the money was gone,” Hollis-Jefferson said, referring to the taxes and other dues extracted from his paycheck. “And being in New York, more than half was gone. I was like, ‘Who do I call here? What’s going on?’ “
As of young man grew up with his grandfather, he learned, how to study and earn proper job, include taxes, not to do drugs or drinking. He is humbled to be in good path and rich in his twenties.
