The man was a millionaire living the lifestyle of a billionaire. Happens all the time wether you’re rich or poor be humble don’t buy things to impress people or friends.
Investing Hustler exactly because where are those people who he helped? They’re gone and got what they wanted: money. Now AP is exposed and it’s doing a number on his mind and wallet, obviously.
@@dandahl5964 You think spending 60k on a birthday party is why he is broke? Do you understand what 100 million really is? Again, He lost money from his advisors.
I have broke friends who make a lot more money than I do but, using Dave's words, "spend like they are in Congress". They think I am nuts when they see my modest home and zero debt life style. "Live like no one else so later you can live and give like no one else".
Mashawn Lynch banked his salary and only lives on his endorsements. He's super money savvy. When playing with the Seahawks the rookies would come to him for financial advance. Super dope for a guy that was raised in a tough part of Oakland.
Corey .l.Wilkerson He was smart due to life experiences and having good people showed him how. Where you grow up had nothing to do with it. There are plenty of well off people from Oakland Ca.
Some people get caught up in the "look rich" lifestyle. Owning a Bugatti and a $10 million home looks cool on TV, but in reality, no one cares. If you make $5 million a year, don't mortgage a mansion that costs $15 million. Buy a $500k home and live comfortably.
Typically, a 10 million dollar mansion is a decent investment due to appreciation however, the maintenance cost cuts into that, same thing with an ultra luxury supercar, they usually appreciate as well
Actually, buy a house that has the right amount of space for your needs depending on how big your family is. This ideal amount of space is probably less than 500k in most places.
"You cannot out-earn your stupidity" is so true. People who mismanage their finances tend to do so on the scale of their earnings. Broke is broke, no matter what you earn.
Successful investing is hard work because it means disciplining your mind to do the opposite of human nature. Buying during a panic, selling during euphoria, and holding on when you are bored and just craving a little action. Investing is 5% intellect and 95% temperament.
Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival.
It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to over $750k.
Recently, I've been considering the possibility of speaking with consultants. I need guidance because I'm an adult, but I'm not sure if their services would be all that helpful.
No one needs to time the market re buying and selling All you have to do is, NOT spend it, put it in diversified mutual funds and leave it there. Even if you bought at a peak if you leave it in there you will be fine.
Game Fowl you are very, very lucky to have found him as early as you did. I hope you take him to heart, which I’m sure you will, and carry his teachings/wisdom out for the rest of your life.

Lol u sound ignorant billionaires take out loans for a multitude of reasons , why wouldn’t a millionaire it’s called leverage but requires the use of it to be responsible
I just don't have the words to express my gratitude for Mr. Ramsey and his financial baby step path. The difference in quality of life it has made for my family is remarkable. Banks must really hate this man.
@dachicagoan True but doesn't that assume banks are happy with taking from just nearly everyone? What they want more than anything is more and the few that follow get out of debt advice is directionally less for them. It is also possible my perception on banks is distorted and biased.
I played against Adrian in High school. Guy was a legend and still is. After the game we stood in line to get his autograph. I hope Dave’s team reaches out to him to help!!!
James Hengel Yep, Football here in Texas is a religion No joke lol.He was the LeBron James of Football. He was 16-17 years old watching Cowboys games with Jerry Jones. Almost all other teams he played against Junior and Senior yr would ask for autograph. His school even had security just for him. It was real lol
Drew Griffon Nah go look it up, google it, this was back in 03, you would have to be from Texas to know about the football culture here. This was also before social media
Of course he had to because in his day players didn't make what they do now. Not discounting his money savvy, just saying it was also a result of his time period.
One of my favorite movies of all-time is Rocky. One example is that Rocky signed a power of attorney to an accountant who squandered most of his hard earned money and Rocky owed the tax man a hefty amount. He couldn't be able to pay his creditors so he had to file for bankruptcy and Rocky and his family had to go back to where he first began his boxing career. In the later movies, Rocky learned his lesson and is more financially stable also owns a restaurant that bears his late wife's name!
That movie was ahead of his time! It showed the problems an athlete faces if too much trust is deposited on their family and friends. The worst part on rocky was when his brother in law confessed to him that he lost millions betting against him yet rocky forgave him.
You almost touched on the problem, Dave. It's personal responsibility. A.p. is all about blaming others. The Vikings stood behind him during the child abuse scandal and even gave him a new contract to an over 30 running back with bad knees, a fumbling problem who, according to Favre, knew nothing from the playbook. After all that he still claimed the vikes never supported him. I'm sure he blames the mothers of his seven children. Oh I'm sure he blames other people for him riding in on a camel at his birthday.
The thing about that kind of money is that it's not terrible hard to invest responsibly. put 3/4 of into a mixture of roughly 75% domestic bond funds and 25% of it in mutual funds that are tracking the market average. Do something roughly similar with foreign investments and you're probably going to be fine. You're not going to be maximizing growth, but if you've got that kind of money, you really don't need to maximize it. You could still lose half of the money and not have to work again.
AP sounds just like my Dad. Both are taken advantage of but it was too late for them to realize. My dad’s credit was amazing back then and his friends would use his credit but then it turned into him missing out on payments and those “friends” no longer talk to my dad.
I met AP. He is a tremendously super nice guy. Kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back, which is probably why he is in this mess. I hope he gets out of it and gets back on track.
Austin Robert - well regardless, probably has child support and based on the fact that he has so many kids with different women really shows his decision making skills. I wouldn’t blame his financial situation on anyone but him.
It doesn't take $30K per month to raise a kid. I understand he needs to take care of his kids and I am not against men paying for their kids...but his ex for example getting $30K monthly for support encourages her not to work and to still depend on him when she doesn't even deserve that $$. My boss's ex wife was taking $3100 in child support and another $600 in alimony for their two kids and for years he struggled. When his daughter went off to college since his son joined the Marines, her mom had saved *NO MONEY* for college for her or her brother (had he gone). 8 years of child support payments would have been enough for a state school. Luckily he had some hidden investments for her but his ex is now broke and homeless. It's not all but there are mothers out there that just care about a check and not allowing the man to see his child which ultimately affects their children and how they become. 80% of the USA's prison population come from single mothers so clearly fatherlessness is a huge issue.
Miguel Bermudez $30K a month? That’s insane! It certainly doesn’t take that amount to raise one child! Single mothers need to contribute to the financial expense of raising their children, too. Being a parent is the most important job anyone could ever have; it’s sad to see so many abuse it. How come it’s never the honorable men with honorable exes and vice versa? It always seems like a good woman cheated by a man not wanting to pay child support and moocher women taking advantage of decent men! Smh...
A lot of this is self-inflicted with all those kids in judges don't care they give all your money away and in those kids can live exactly like you live.
If you have 32 mill, there is absolutely no shame in parking it in CDs, lol. So so so much better than so many other financial bombshells that happen with pro athletes and lottery winners.
Just goes to show It almost doesn't matter how much money you make. If you don't know how to manage it and live under your means you will be financially stressed, and maybe even broke. "You can't out earn stupidity" love that quote from Dave.
You have to remember that professional athletes are different than the rest of us. They were taken care of their entire lives. They never worked, struggled to pay rent and all of a sudden they are swimming in cash. They go from no money to hundreds of thousand or tens of millions suddenly. They want to take care of those they love. They have never had any education around money...and the large sums seem to never-ending. This scenario is regretful.
Double21Stuffed probably because we’re all taught, if you want to buy a house/car/other expensive item, you do it on credit instead of the cash. For a long time I didn’t know you could pay cash for a new car.
@@ew2645 You are spot on. I paid cash for my new car and received 2 reactions. 1] Why would I do that? What if you need the cash later? and 2] People sneer at me like I am some rich snob or something. I bought a Nissan Rogue not a Lamborghini for crying out loud, but that seems to be what happens.
It's normal for rich to take loans. Why do you think a guy with 200 million dollar school still take out a bank loan to buy rental property instead of just paying them cash
@@teebone2157 a rental property is different. you have monthly income coming in to pay the loan. Also, chances are, the property is an appreciating asset. I have owned rental properties for the past 20+ years. I am talking about taking out a loan for a depreciating asset. i.e. car, boat, rv etc.
It's modern day sharecropping!!! Adrian is not stupid. Black communities have been economically underdeveloped since the abolition of slavery. We were never taught financial literacy.
@Richard Dixon How can you be responsible to learn something you never knew existed??? Our idea of good finances at one time was getting a good job save a little money and or maybe hit the lottery. We believed the stock market was the real gambling and the lottery and playing the numbers was intelligent spending. Financial literacy was like life on Mars...we never knew it even existed.
What a horrible take. I went to 6 high schools, two black ones. You do not learn finance in any school, nobody does. My poor white parents knew nothing of it but the NFL teaches you. I had to use my GI bill, get my bachelors of science in business, got a certificate in financial planning and then an M.B.A with a concentration in business finance. Most people just need to read investing for dummies, itll give you the basics. Anyway, im really disgusted by your comment. You infantilize the black community and it is inexcusable. Adrian knows better, he knows more than the average white man, chinese man and hispanic man. Take accountability for gods sake. Stop blaming the system.
OMG DAVE...I was just thinking why can't you and all of these sports leagues collaborate on financial responsibility with these young men and women. It's just SAD!! That's like winning the FRICKIN lotto and blowing it all in less than 5yrs. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ ALL THESE ATHLETES NEED YOU!!
The real problem starts when these pros sign the contract and get all these millions at once, family, friends put pressure on them for money and they start buying expensive houses and cars without realizing the true cost of maintaining those things, or basically stopping to think about spending the money..
This goes really good with what I have been thinking lately. You have to have a budget and have control of your money. I REALLY want to start to figure out my own business opportunities, but what's the point if you do not have discipline with money. I need to get more control with a budget and quite smoking before building up my own business.
You're starting to hear more and more of these accountants and financial managers and financial advisors taking advantage of their clients by athletes.
What else are they supposed to do? Just let the banks take it over through insane fees and compounding interest loans? Dont hate the player hate the game
One example is con artist, Peggy Fulford. She had an episode of "American Greed" devoted to her fraudulent activity of financial advising while swindling rich pro athletes to finance a lavish lifestyle
“I’m sad for Adrian. This is awful” The enthusiasm behind that statement LOL! That’s how you know he’s seen too many cases like Adrian’s. It really is sad.
I wasn’t aware they teach personal money management and investment strategy in the university. No, they teach lectures on plant energy metabolism, religious survey, and 19th century poetry.
Most athletes and superstars have zero clues about finance. At the same time, most of them think they know everything. They are not capable of listening to good financial advice.
Many NFL players and pro athletes are usually in their early twenties and they think they know everything and haven't had life skills. This reminds of a young man who tried to come into a farm business and he nearly ran that farm into the ground because he got the baby boomer parents who owned most of the farm to believe his ideas rather than listening to the gen x son who was slowly purchasing the farm. The gen x son wanted to invest the money in CD and other secured investments while the 22 year old millennial (2013 is when this happen) got the baby boomer to squander the windfall profits they had from the gen x son who was careful and grew record corn and grain sold it with record high prices. In short, the baby boomer parents believe in the outsider 22 year old millennial and nearly bankrupt the farm by buying new equipment that wasn't needed and expanding their operation without a plan for return. He had them thinking that they could bank roll and cash flow at $6 corn, $14 beans and $20 milk. The gen x knew that wasn't sustainable or logical because commodity prices do crash. In the end the gen x son was right and the millennial was wrong. The millennial left the family holding the bag on his major mistake. I feel for the gen x son because his parents believed in the millennial who knew nothing about finance and money. The millennial only knew trends. Trends come and go and people don't realize that. Good financial discipline can sustain oneself.
It's hard to resist Women throwing "You Know What" at you. It's easy to pop out 8 or 9 kids 🤔. I'm sitting here looking at your photo and dreaming about some things. If you know what I mean 😏.
This is why financial education and money management is important no matter how much money you get if you don't know to mange it, you will be broke within 5 years
You’re so right Dave after that Bernie maidoff situation I would never give my money for someone to investing or manage for me hells know, he should’ve put all those checks into the bank until he finished playing football periods.
A fact I don't believe was mentioned is that family members are relying upon these celebrities to handle their finances better. I fired my investment broker because commissions were eating up a majority of my profits. You have to be involved, knowledgeable, and as self-directed about your money as possible.
Reminds me of the 30 for 30 video on pro players that go broke. Those that didnt work hard for wealth over many years and start lower in pay and become rich overnight usually end up in bad financial shape.
Likely low financially literacy because his focus is football, not money management. Someone he trusts has likely told him to borrow money to invest, the investment has fallen through and he ends up with a big pile of debt. Just like so many people borrowed to buy investment properties before the financial crisis, people borrowed to buy crypto before the bubble burst (which is happening again as we speak), and exactly the same way entrepreneurs have made a lot of money in the past; many have lost a lot of money too. You should note as well that his networth needs to be over a million to be a millionaire. Right now, his assets minus liabilities would likely not make him a millionaire...
Hard to trust others with your hard earned money. Keep your circle small. Too many of these agents are ripping off these players. They all tell them trust them and have them sign on the dotted line. They do not realize that the contract they signed allow these agents to rip them off via percentages and fees. Like someone has commented, he needs Financial education. He does not need a manager. He needs to financial education so he could make better Financial moves.
I can beat that one. We arrested Hector "Macho" Camacho back around 2005 or so, for selling MDMA and breaking into a store, to retrieve his computer, because he couldn't afford to pay the repair bill. On the way to jail, I asked him how much money he had made boxing. He said, "They tell me about 220 million. But, I don't know where it went." He seemed like a nice guy, but what a statement.
Reminds me of what happened to former NBA star Antoine Walker. After he became a big star, he found himself financially supporting something like 70 extended family members. He bought more than a dozen homes for them. He blew over a hundred million. Predictably, he ended up flat broke after his playing days. But he got back on his feet and now lectures college players how to not be like he was.
@@Juniorrs.exe- I know, right? I mean, with 100 million, if he'd just stopped buying houses after his Mom and brothers had them, he'd have still been okay. Let the cousins fend for themselves!
@@wk3820 he could have bought close family members a house because that is understandable. But for 70 other people. Minus well give a homeless a house while he is at it. And if family barely starts talking to you and wanting stuff when you are rich forget them you should not talk to them ever again. And not buy a house and extras for them. He could have invested that into realstate/stocks and be VERY well for himself
If I had that much money I would do three things. 1) Help my parents with everything they need 2) Donate to various charities 3) Buy a new F250 every year. (Yes, I’m well aware of the car ordeal. I would do all of that living in my $200,000 house and living off of dividends and interest.
Ramsey pretty much cited this video-- indirectly-- by tossing out the stat that "47% of former NFL players go broke [within 3- 5 years after retiring]".
Hey Mr Ramsey, how do you help your family when you make a lot of money? I have heard about free-loaders as a cause of finiancial distress and I am wondering how this problem can be tackled. One of my goals is to help my family get in their own feet. Appreciate any advice you can give me.

TLC got like 3 cents an album.. they got taling aadvantage of for years..
Adrian peterson has 11 kids. Of course he's going broke
he can pay 2 million dollars to each child and each child would be set for life
11....ouch
fauxbro1983 - I don’t think he has 11. But I know he has kids with multiple women, which can get very costly paying child support and alimony.
@@MFPWM2010 he's never been married so no alimony.
Austin Robert - well regardless, probably has child support and based on the fact that he has so many kids with different women really shows his decision making skills. I wouldn’t blame his financial situation on anyone but him.
Adrian Peterson has a hella amount of children and has a large amount of child support, too.
It doesn't take $30K per month to raise a kid. I understand he needs to take care of his kids and I am not against men paying for their kids...but his ex for example getting $30K monthly for support encourages her not to work and to still depend on him when she doesn't even deserve that $$.
My boss's ex wife was taking $3100 in child support and another $600 in alimony for their two kids and for years he struggled. When his daughter went off to college since his son joined the Marines, her mom had saved *NO MONEY* for college for her or her brother (had he gone). 8 years of child support payments would have been enough for a state school. Luckily he had some hidden investments for her but his ex is now broke and homeless.
It's not all but there are mothers out there that just care about a check and not allowing the man to see his child which ultimately affects their children and how they become. 80% of the USA's prison population come from single mothers so clearly fatherlessness is a huge issue.
Miguel Bermudez $30K a month? That’s insane! It certainly doesn’t take that amount to raise one child! Single mothers need to contribute to the financial expense of raising their children, too. Being a parent is the most important job anyone could ever have; it’s sad to see so many abuse it. How come it’s never the honorable men with honorable exes and vice versa? It always seems like a good woman cheated by a man not wanting to pay child support and moocher women taking advantage of decent men! Smh...
Shawn Kemp exNBA star has 9 kids from
8 moms and is paying way high per month
Like $100,000 per month
A lot of this is self-inflicted with all those kids in judges don't care they give all your money away and in those kids can live exactly like you live.
Dave’s arms are so tan compared to his fingers 😂 love your videos Dave!
I think that's fur 😂
That’s called self tanning lotion. Uses same brand as President Orange
Mowing his own lawns I see.
Literally had the chance to not do anything for the rest of your life and just enjoy it and he threw it all away
Ron Artest had a job at Circuit City so he could get the employee discount lol
That's why I want a job at the Dollar Store
Adrian, please reach out to Dave and his team. I'm sure he can help you.
yeah player, im sure AP is watching right now...
Reach out to Dave like he reached out and beat his 3 year old son with a switch?
If he was watching he wouldn’t be in this situation
If you have 32 mill, there is absolutely no shame in parking it in CDs, lol. So so so much better than so many other financial bombshells that happen with pro athletes and lottery winners.
What's a CD?
@@jcpaul6824 Compact Discs
Buffet has $79 billion. Clue: it ain’t in CD’s!
Just goes to show It almost doesn't matter how much money you make. If you don't know how to manage it and live under your means you will be financially stressed, and maybe even broke.
"You can't out earn stupidity" love that quote from Dave.
You have to remember that professional athletes are different than the rest of us. They were taken care of their entire lives. They never worked, struggled to pay rent and all of a sudden they are swimming in cash. They go from no money to hundreds of thousand or tens of millions suddenly. They want to take care of those they love. They have never had any education around money...and the large sums seem to never-ending. This scenario is regretful.
Why in the world would you need to take out loans if you're making roughly 8 million a year?
Double21Stuffed probably because we’re all taught, if you want to buy a house/car/other expensive item, you do it on credit instead of the cash. For a long time I didn’t know you could pay cash for a new car.
@@ew2645 You are spot on. I paid cash for my new car and received 2 reactions. 1] Why would I do that? What if you need the cash later? and 2] People sneer at me like I am some rich snob or something. I bought a Nissan Rogue not a Lamborghini for crying out loud, but that seems to be what happens.
It's normal for rich to take loans. Why do you think a guy with 200 million dollar school still take out a bank loan to buy rental property instead of just paying them cash
@@teebone2157 a rental property is different. you have monthly income coming in to pay the loan. Also, chances are, the property is an appreciating asset. I have owned rental properties for the past 20+ years. I am talking about taking out a loan for a depreciating asset. i.e. car, boat, rv etc.
Because you're spending 9 million a year.
They need financial education...not a “manager”. They should spread these big salaries out over 30 years.
That still wouldn't prevent them from over extending loans. :S
It's modern day sharecropping!!! Adrian is not stupid. Black communities have been economically underdeveloped since the abolition of slavery. We were never taught financial literacy.
@Richard Dixon
How can you be responsible to learn something you never knew existed???
Our idea of good finances at one time was getting a good job save a little money and or maybe hit the lottery. We believed the stock market was the real gambling and the lottery and playing the numbers was intelligent spending. Financial literacy was like life on Mars...we never knew it even existed.
What a horrible take. I went to 6 high schools, two black ones. You do not learn finance in any school, nobody does. My poor white parents knew nothing of it but the NFL teaches you. I had to use my GI bill, get my bachelors of science in business, got a certificate in financial planning and then an M.B.A with a concentration in business finance. Most people just need to read investing for dummies, itll give you the basics.
Anyway, im really disgusted by your comment. You infantilize the black community and it is inexcusable. Adrian knows better, he knows more than the average white man, chinese man and hispanic man.
Take accountability for gods sake. Stop blaming the system.
What do you expect. You give a kid whose had nothing a ton of money and power.
OMG DAVE...I was just thinking why can't you and all of these sports leagues collaborate on financial responsibility with these young men and women. It's just SAD!! That's like winning the FRICKIN lotto and blowing it all in less than 5yrs. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ ALL THESE ATHLETES NEED YOU!!
Trazon McMullen I totally agree. Athletes are throw away like old rags. Most are black and they need financial education. They are so young.
The real problem starts when these pros sign the contract and get all these millions at once, family, friends put pressure on them for money and they start buying expensive houses and cars without realizing the true cost of maintaining those things, or basically stopping to think about spending the money..
This goes really good with what I have been thinking lately. You have to have a budget and have control of your money. I REALLY want to start to figure out my own business opportunities, but what's the point if you do not have discipline with money. I need to get more control with a budget and quite smoking before building up my own business.
Good advice... I'd say the same applies to your health as well.
My father, Bob, had 6 kids, lots of bills. He worked in a bank and at macy's. He wore mesh shoes !
Wow, lesson learned to everybody not to end up that road.😟
You're starting to hear more and more of these accountants and financial managers and financial advisors taking advantage of their clients by athletes.
Yes, that's why I believe in paying for financial education. NOT for people dipping their hands in your hard-earned accounts.
What else are they supposed to do? Just let the banks take it over through insane fees and compounding interest loans? Dont hate the player hate the game
One example is con artist, Peggy Fulford. She had an episode of "American Greed" devoted to her fraudulent activity of financial advising while swindling rich pro athletes to finance a lavish lifestyle
I wish I had the 32 million dollar problem...🤣
Oh boy... I hope he is able to get this resolved soon.
Income doesn't mean anything if expenses eat it all up
So true. If you have 500,000 coming in and 495,000 going out, that’s still broke.
So profound...
I heard that Randolph Scott used to read the Wall Street Journal between film takes.
He's proving again that you have to know how to be rich same reason most lottery winners go broke
“I’m sad for Adrian. This is awful” The enthusiasm behind that statement LOL! That’s how you know he’s seen too many cases like Adrian’s. It really is sad.
The education system failed him.
Just because you make money, it doesn't mean you will be able to manage it.
the guy in the helmet sorry personal responsibility is the issue stop expecting others to always do for you/ you have to make you/ you
I wasn’t aware they teach personal money management and investment strategy in the university. No, they teach lectures on plant energy metabolism, religious survey, and 19th century poetry.
Silky smooth ending music! Word Dave
Most athletes and superstars have zero clues about finance. At the same time, most of them think they know everything. They are not capable of listening to good financial advice.
How many pro athletes do you know on a first name basis?
@@donaldbarnes3714 15. How about you?
Many NFL players and pro athletes are usually in their early twenties and they think they know everything and haven't had life skills. This reminds of a young man who tried to come into a farm business and he nearly ran that farm into the ground because he got the baby boomer parents who owned most of the farm to believe his ideas rather than listening to the gen x son who was slowly purchasing the farm. The gen x son wanted to invest the money in CD and other secured investments while the 22 year old millennial (2013 is when this happen) got the baby boomer to squander the windfall profits they had from the gen x son who was careful and grew record corn and grain sold it with record high prices.
In short, the baby boomer parents believe in the outsider 22 year old millennial and nearly bankrupt the farm by buying new equipment that wasn't needed and expanding their operation without a plan for return. He had them thinking that they could bank roll and cash flow at $6 corn, $14 beans and $20 milk. The gen x knew that wasn't sustainable or logical because commodity prices do crash.
In the end the gen x son was right and the millennial was wrong. The millennial left the family holding the bag on his major mistake. I feel for the gen x son because his parents believed in the millennial who knew nothing about finance and money. The millennial only knew trends. Trends come and go and people don't realize that. Good financial discipline can sustain oneself.
Dave Ramsey, you are a good man.
Pay yourself first. Richest man in Babylon.
Most underrated comment in the section.
👏🏼 well said Dave
With that much money he could have made a round trip in his space ship to the planet Kingdom Come.
Should have been listening to you all those years
All of those financial stresses are going to cripple that poor man mentally and possibly physically. What a complete waste of his fortune!!!
It's hard to resist Women throwing "You Know What" at you. It's easy to pop out 8 or 9 kids 🤔. I'm sitting here looking at your photo and dreaming about some things. If you know what I mean 😏.
This is why financial education and money management is important no matter how much money you get if you don't know to mange it, you will be broke within 5 years
You’re so right Dave after that Bernie maidoff situation I would never give my money for someone to investing or manage for me hells know, he should’ve put all those checks into the bank until he finished playing football periods.
"Adrian Peterson mismanages his finances and loses it all".... Fixed the title of the article! :)
Such a sad situation
Blows my mind that people who make that much money would ever have to take out a loan for anything.
A fact I don't believe was mentioned is that family members are relying upon these celebrities to handle their finances better. I fired my investment broker because commissions were eating up a majority of my profits. You have to be involved, knowledgeable, and as self-directed about your money as possible.
A good (wealthy) family friend said years ago. "Never trust someone with your money that has less than you do".
6:23 this is the true simple lesson that we must make sure we learn and reach our future kids.
It doesn’t matter how skilled you are in your job, if you can’t deal with your finances you will eventually be toast.
Reminds me of the 30 for 30 video on pro players that go broke. Those that didnt work hard for wealth over many years and start lower in pay and become rich overnight usually end up in bad financial shape.
Baby step 1: emergency fund.......
6:38 Look carefully. How did the camera angle change so much but the direction of Dave's head didn't also change?
Can you invite Graham Stephan to your show?!
MsBobasaur , Ryan is looking to buy a sofa from Craig’s List, he is willing to leave a $500 deposit!
I listen to brother Dave, he's the man with the.plan and I agree you own your own finances and nobody can't take control of your finances except you.
Why even borrow money when you’re a millionaire???
Likely low financially literacy because his focus is football, not money management. Someone he trusts has likely told him to borrow money to invest, the investment has fallen through and he ends up with a big pile of debt. Just like so many people borrowed to buy investment properties before the financial crisis, people borrowed to buy crypto before the bubble burst (which is happening again as we speak), and exactly the same way entrepreneurs have made a lot of money in the past; many have lost a lot of money too. You should note as well that his networth needs to be over a million to be a millionaire. Right now, his assets minus liabilities would likely not make him a millionaire...
Once you realize material things are fleeting, then saving becomes easier.
Dave send your book The Total Money make over to Adrian Peterson - he needs to follow the baby steps ,now that hes broke .
He probably never reads.
Don't blow it
Count yo money
Keep it simple
Hard to trust others with your hard earned money. Keep your circle small. Too many of these agents are ripping off these players. They all tell them trust them and have them sign on the dotted line. They do not realize that the contract they signed allow these agents to rip them off via percentages and fees.
Like someone has commented, he needs Financial education. He does not need a manager. He needs to financial education so he could make better Financial moves.
Well said.
I don’t feel so bad after losing a paltry amount to stock losses
I can beat that one. We arrested Hector "Macho" Camacho back around 2005 or so, for selling MDMA and breaking into a store, to retrieve his computer, because he couldn't afford to pay the repair bill. On the way to jail, I asked him how much money he had made boxing. He said, "They tell me about 220 million. But, I don't know where it went." He seemed like a nice guy, but what a statement.
Reminds me of what happened to former NBA star Antoine Walker. After he became a big star, he found himself financially supporting something like 70 extended family members. He bought more than a dozen homes for them. He blew over a hundred million. Predictably, he ended up flat broke after his playing days. But he got back on his feet and now lectures college players how to not be like he was.
I wonder if he HAD to give houses to those 70 people.
@@Juniorrs.exe- I know, right? I mean, with 100 million, if he'd just stopped buying houses after his Mom and brothers had them, he'd have still been okay. Let the cousins fend for themselves!
@@wk3820 he could have bought close family members a house because that is understandable. But for 70 other people. Minus well give a homeless a house while he is at it. And if family barely starts talking to you and wanting stuff when you are rich forget them you should not talk to them ever again. And not buy a house and extras for them. He could have invested that into realstate/stocks and be VERY well for himself
If I had that much money I would do three things.
1) Help my parents with everything they need
2) Donate to various charities
3) Buy a new F250 every year. (Yes, I’m well aware of the car ordeal.
I would do all of that living in my $200,000 house and living off of dividends and interest.
I guess he never watched ESPN's 'Broke'..
Excellent documentary! I own the DVD.😁
Ramsey pretty much cited this video-- indirectly-- by tossing out the stat that "47% of former NFL players go broke [within 3- 5 years after retiring]".
I love it; "Very smart or very stupid"...........how true.
To many greedy people in the world ripping everyone off. It's sad! And it's not just singers and athletes 😥
New Life Married Again well watch your money dont expect other people to
God. Bless. You. Dave ♥️🙏🏽
A fool and his money are soon parted
Hey Mr Ramsey, how do you help your family when you make a lot of money? I have heard about free-loaders as a cause of finiancial distress and I am wondering how this problem can be tackled. One of my goals is to help my family get in their own feet. Appreciate any advice you can give me.
Adrian also has 5-7 kids and I believe paying child support on most if not all of them.
I bet those kids get more in child support than most people will ever see in their lifetimes
He’s not making very much right now who knows if he’s even able to make any payments currently.
Riches are very temporary if you aren't careful.
