A lot of these cats have zero understanding of how their finances work. Who was it that tried to cash his first NBA check at a check cashing spot? I think it was Z-Bo.

Broke should be required viewing at all pro sports rookie orientations.

Most of these dudes never actually even look at their own money until they retire or are close to it.

All they know is that their mortgage gets paid and their car note gets paid and their taxes get paid and whenever they want to stunt they can go get some money...beyond that they have no idea what they have...

I turned 30 last year. When I was younger I used to be surprise about these goin broke stories but after living life and I know these are just ordinary ppl but I seen a lot of peers be in good position and now broke back at their parents house and selling food stamps.

No matter what tax bracket you in, ppl goin live above their means.

A thousands, a millionaire or a billionaire all goin live above their means. Hell last year I was winning good at Maryland casino live and a homeless person’s ribs asked for some money to get some thing eat. I gave him a 20 and instead of goin to McDonalds or Wendy’s, this dude took that 20 to the Cheesecake Factory:yeshrug:.

And your partner don’t help you out. Cuz 9/10 they want to live it up too. When me and my broad separated for a year, that was the most prosperous time of my life financially. Because I don’t care about my outward perception. When I fly out somewhere and rent a car I get a regular midsize car. I see ppl renting corvettes and drop tops for triple the value for one of two days. And then ppl look at e like I’m some drug dealer cuz I have a luxury apartment(not a house but a apartment:stopitslime:), two cars, and have lived in my own since I was 22. The worst is my siblings. Like they love me, but as we gotten older they say and do a lot of slick funny stuff towards me. Especially the older ones.


Explain that. Do they talk behind your back and ask you for money?

All the time they ask for money and for simple stuff. Like to pay for their Uber car, or they want to take their kid to movie giant have that cub member shyt where when you buy as member you get money off of gas. They always enter my membership and taking my gas discount. And then some of them don’t even call unless it’s to borrow. I don’t even want to answer the phone the first 5 Days of the month. They honk I got it so easy. Me and my sister went to the mall recently and we went to my crib afterwards and they already in my crib and I still have to go back out to get bags so as I’m coming back to the crib, they getting read to eating and I hear my nephew say to my sister to be careful eating in my living room and. It waste the Mumbo sauce on my carpet and couch and I hear my sitter respond don’t worry about it, he aight, whatever I mess up he can get cleaned by a expert. Or when we go out, instead of looking for the free parking like everybody do they go straight to the meter and always ask me to pay it. I don’t mind paying if it ain’t no free parking but they don’t even try whenever I’m around. Whenever we go out and they want something to eat and they ask if I’m paying, if I say yes they want to go to an expensive. But if they paying its mickey D’s or even Sam’s club.

So much much more lil stuff I was olblivious to until my broad and even my mom or grandma put me up on. Sad thing is most of the time I just go along with the shyt because it’s whatever they my brothers and sisters

Marshawn Lynch didn't spend one of his checks and his has every penny he earned in the NFL, he was smart

TIME IS MONEY

None of these nikkaz are real millionaires because they are never liquid

none of these athletes ever have ten million in the bank at one time, the ones who go broke don't save, thats the reality

your bum ass wouldn't understand

the internet
Athletes are rich...but they didnt have to go through the financial struggles that people in business go through.

What I mean by that is....when you start a business, or work your way up in a company you slowly learn these lessons.
Plus...

In business...once you learn something...you can keep doing it till you die.

Athletes have a short window to make their money....and when its over, most have damn near no skills to keep that money coming in.
