. Why not learn the business

Because ball is there business..... You’re talking about learning the business against cats that have masters in business/finance from Brown, Harvard, Whorton... etc....

The thing to do is take 70%of your check and stick it in something safe until your career is over.. that way, you have plenty of time to watch your finances and learn some white man finance game

Nah. I'm in tech field but learned about real estate. It's always easy for people to work with other peoples money. I'm good looking after my own $. How the hell am I going to pay someone to play with my money and having no clue what they're doing with it? Even if dude says "Hey, I'm going to throw your money in this stock" you need to be educated enough to be cool with it or not. These dudes seem to be giving these guys carte blanche and figuring out years down the line that they lost all their money.

Lastly, not all those dudes are from those schools and even so, everyone makes mistakes. I'd rather blame myself over blaming some other dude losing my money. Scust.

You don’t understand.... let me ask you this... are you the top .05 percent in your field
Also, how old are you.... and were you in that top < 1% at the age of 21?

Not even that...top athletes spend so much time training etc it's hard to learn another skill on the fly. Hell most don't get as much fatherly time as they want.

Not saying its impossible but to act like its that easy is crazy.

Overall brothers gotta be more careful.

handle your own money breh. accountant should be checking you not the other way around.

shyt, even most 9-5 brehs aren't equipped to do this or lack the desire to do this. Then realize how one-dimensional the average athlete probably is and the odds are even lower of an 18-24 year old breh having the financial acumen to make wise long-term investments on their own.

That is all kinds of fukked up!

I don't know why athletes/entertainers trust financial advisers. Why not learn the business and if you don't want to do that then just put the money in the bank or park it in real estate.

If he gave me access to his portfolio I woulda made him mad dough.
financial advisors are fine. to be bilked out of this kind of cash you have to be completely ignorant when it comes to simple tasks like checking your account statements weekly or at minimum monthly, and knowing what your basic budget and bills are. you dont need classes to log in and see the debits and credits on your account statements. thats basic shyt
