Athletes need to show this man so much respect/love/and support. He legit broke down the door for College student athletes making money off their likeness/name etc. Colleges make millions off these athletes and only used to give students meal plans, if that.

I wish I had more time for trial and error, but I'll be 56 soon and I need ideas and guidance on what investments to make to prepare myself for retirement, especially with the impending inflation and recession; my target is to have a portfolio of at least $$$k at the age of 60. Very well said.

I respect him cause while he preaches financial stability he also isn’t gonna lie he never really had money and when you get money like that you spend it, he earned it been a fan for years so this was awesome to watch
Respectable picks, good balance between splurging and investing. Dee definitely got his head in the right place.
That’s fvcked up that they wanted to make him choose between being broke in college and making money legally in a way that did not affect his athletics or his education.
I'm glad to see this young man be successful and take care of his family. Like his energy. Good dude.
It’s so refreshing to see Deestroying stuck with what gave him joy and he’s blessed because of it
Big smile seeing Dee all the way on this platform. Happy for him. 🔥
I'm not kidding when I say that the market crash and high inflation have me really stressed out and worried about retirement. I've been in the red for a while now and although people say these crisis has it perks, I'm losing my mind but I get it Investing is a long-term game, so focus on the long run.

I can’t focus on the long run when I should be retiring in 3years, you see I’ve got good companies in my portfolio and a good amount invested, but my profit has been stalling, does it mean this recession/unstable market doesn’t provide any calculated risk opportunities to make profit?
