Tim Masthay knows the value of economy.

The Green Bay Packers punter told Market Watch that he spent his sophomore year at the University of Kentucky living in a utility closet at just $100 a month in order to save some of his scholarship money.

"By the time I graduated, I had saved $10,000," the 6-foot-1 200-pound economics major revealed — money that he used to purchase his wife-to-be's wedding ring.

Now that the 29-year-old's been in the NFL for six years, here's hoping Masthay and his wife have allowed themselves a bigger place.
