Why Your Favorite Athletes Go Broke

  • Most professional athletes suffer from a lack of knowledge in personal finance. Understanding how to budget your money, how to save money, and mastering your personal finances will save you from going broke.
    Unfortunately, athletes spend their money frivolously on large houses, exotic cars, custom jewelry, and anything to help live lavishly.
    When their playing careers are over, many athletes go broke because they don't follow a few key personal finance principles.
    In this video, I share the first couple of reasons why so many athletes go broke following their playing careers.
    You'll likely read headlines every day about another athlete having some sort of financial hardship and wonder why that's the case. The athletes sign contracts for millions of dollars, but can't seem to stay away from going broke.
    When you understand how quickly money can be spent when purchasing liabilities, it makes total sense why these athletes struggling with their personal finances so much.

    In sales, we learned about the "comfort zone". Practically everyone has one. There's a mental dollar amount and what happens when your bank account falls below it? You save, save, save until you're back in your comfort zone. What happens when your account exceeds your comfort zone? Most spend, spend, spend until they're back in that zone. An inner city kid who grew up dirt poor has a very low comfort zone so they spend like crazy because they believed they were happy before they became rich. They buy momma a house, they buy their girlfriend a huge rock. They cover themselves with more bling than a weightlifter should carry. Then they hire financial consultants who steal them blind. Once the money runs out, they still have all this acquired debt and most have no means to pay for it.
    It should be mandatory for colleges to offer athletes classes in finances. Maybe the jock won't listen but it's downright criminal if the jock is never told how to manage money in the first place.

As I gradually learned how to trade options and derivatives, I accumulated weekly 20% gains, as well as gaining familiarity with buying and shorting penny stocks. Now, my account sits nicely with a rough 1900% gain in 5 years, which for me is off-the-charts good. But this wasn't always the way. In the beginning, I was knowledgeable about EMA lines, MAC-D lines, and other trading techniques. I especially didn't know about chart and doji patterns as well; nevertheless, however, I, without paying for a SINGLE tutorial, learned the tricks of the trade and started seeing consistent green in my account. Trades like TUP, CLSK, and GME have made me 1300%, 465%, and 120%, respectively, on top of MANY other trades I have done to build up my portfolio. Of course, I do have 20% loss stories, but those days are a lot fewer than the successful ones. What I'm trying to say is that many people don't have my willpower, nor my grit.

    This issue really hits hard for me because I hate to see Black athletes go through this. Many often come from poverty so they don't know how to manage money. If they would just talk to former pros on how to manage their finances it would prevent so many problems. There's also another reason athletes go broke, scammers. Kevin garnet lost 70 million due to a so-called "financial advisor"... Tim Duncan lost millions the same way. People just see athletes as an easy target to make money off of. Excited to see the next video.

    Great video! I will try not to get married lmao. I just wonder why we don't hear about high profile businessmen paying that much in child's support.

      You don't hear about it...but it absolutely does happen. Starting with
      our current president. (Trump) His child support tab was pretty high. I know a coupla doctors AND lawyers (who you'd think would know better)
      ...who are paying for a coupla out of wedlock children. So-called "businesses men" are can be just as sloppy about breeding as athletes. Difference is they have salary structures that pay them MILLIONS for 20 sometimes 30 years plus MILLIONS MORE in STOCK OPTIONS .

      Because the money flow don’t stop as early for these businessmen; most athletes have a shelf life of at most 15 years, but businessmen keep making money until they retire at ~65+.

    People who go from rags never learnt about investing, not to mention when the cash flows you start thinking your the shit and your value will never end.
