That’s why MC Hammer went broke, media portrays him to be broke from buying expensive stuff but he was helping more people than he could afford.

MC Hammer felt obligated to help everybody and save East Oakland where he didn't have the funds. He had 200 people making 30k/yr on his payroll and most of them wanted to see Hammer fail and freeload off every penny to supplement their lifestyle (Hammer was always a Yes Man). Athletes like Allen Iverson live above their means like $3000/night grand suite hotel isn't nothing. Average person will have to save for years for a vacation and athletes and rappers are traveling all the time. The ego is networking with other rich people and being part of this exclusive club. Most athletes want instant gratification especially when they have to perform and overcome injuries and trauma to the body. Drug abuse and reckless lifestyle is common.

I'm an athlete... not professionally and I am broke too. I can relate.

most of these athletes grew up under difficult circumstances socially, when fame and $$$ hit, most if not none of them is ready to handle that, Shaq said it he was told by a bank manager at the time of his first contract to stop spending his $ like that, and look at it now.

This is so refreshing to hear from Jalen (former pro ball player) as someone that's been there & done that. Instead of the broke everyday people that know everything & ain't been nowhere.

Step one figure out how much you have after taxes. Step 2 decide how many years you wanna live. Step 3 divide how much you have by the years you wanna live and that's your yearly budget.

Mostly because of friends and family. They start living off you.

If I make 30 million I would still buy a brand new but smaller home. Live simple and invest in real estate

Never, EVER give anyone control of your money. Family, most of all. "My family wouldn't rob me!" I hear you say. But look back in history at how many athletes and entertainers who were robbed blind by family members. Read former NFL player Philip Buchanon's book 'New Money, Staying Rich' to see some of the vile, egregious shit his mother and grandmother did to pry money out of him over the years.

If you're financially illiterate and you go from having no money to having money, then what the fuck do you expect is going to happen? This is predictable. Same reason why if you give a homeless man 100k he's going to end up broke within the year. Having money does NOT mean you're good with money. DO NOT CONFUSE THE TWO.

Start a whole life insurance policy that pays dividends and allows you to take loans against the cash value in the policy. It’s a good retirement plan, probably better than a 401K. You can also use it to finance your major purchases. Whole life insurance, especially a policy started before a relationship, is off limits to divorce courts. Create a family trust and make that the beneficiary of the insurance policy. If you get a wife she can be the beneficiary of the trust, but choose someone loyal to you as the trustee who will have to sign off on withdrawals.

In South Africa we calm it black tax but it’s purely family that’s been with you. It’s tougher when it’s not strangers asking for handouts. It’s literally the people that raised you and they don’t ask, you offer because you see the very poverty you come from. You do too much and unnecessarily put too many people in comfort them you go bust. You’ve built homes, paid off cars, paid tuitions. Nothing you can expect to ever really complain about but also nothing that can be of any use or value to you.

Mr. Rose...have Marshawn Lynch on your program to show how it's really done. If I remember correctly, he didn't even spend a penny of his NFL contract (I think he's getting by on those Skittles commercials endorsements). Although he's not an athlete, Jay Leno banked his Tonight Show $$$, and lived off the $$$ he made doing stand-up comedy. So, it can be done...easier said than done, though.

JALEN & JACOBY brought me here.,,Adrien Patterson facing debt...

Brother ain't even gotten into gambling, drinkin' too much, and all the other dumb shit people get into. The NFL has a mandatory 2 day seminar for rookies and part of it talks about money. Herm Edwards tells the rooks straight out... "Shelf life in this league is 3 years. You will probably not last out your rookie contract. The money you make right now is gonna have to last you for rest of your life. So here it is: buy ONE house. Buy ONE car. If you're not married, GET A PRE-NUP. Don't let the veterans sucker you into high end poker games. I'm not gonna tell you not to go out, but get the Hell out the club at midnight. Ain't nothin' good happen at the club after midnight."

Athletes should put away 2 million of their salary on C.Ds..A five year C.D. gives 3.25 a year for a 5 year deal. Thats 65 thousand. After it matures its close to 2350000 dollars. You keep on reinvesting it till retirement. With a Republican President interest rates in C.D's are always going up. With Reagan they were about 10 percent.

Yeh he mk ultra

The first thing you should do when you make it big is hire professional people you can trust to help you invest and spend your money wisely, go ahead buy that house and car but have banking system in place to pay you out so much, so often. Aka common sense
