PickSix II is all about the bit coin. He has asked to be paid in crypto from @TheCC and @Bayley but being the horrible GM's they are, they have refused. PickSix II is all about making money when he's not making money. Football is great to him, however this is just a stepping stone because PickSix wants to start his own music label as well as his own fashion line because that's just easy money.
With a music label, PickSix II would establish his old teammates as recording artists, so they too can get in on the green and make sure they're taken care of post football. We know that the time on the grid iron is short and that injuries happen. So it would be good to sign football players who have a little musical ability due to their fan support and make some money that way.
In terms of a fashion line, PickSix II believes that you need to look good on game day and for media interviews because you are selling yourself. If all the rookies start wearing the fashion line PickSix II creates, then it's even more money for him to enjoy in retirement.
Gotta be a triple threat these days.

Douglas Quaid has never taken the safe root in life. He takes chances that will either spectacularly fail or become an epic win. Quaid is a gambler at heart. He sees horse racing, card games, roulette, and sports betting (legal for an ISFL player, not in a wimp league like MLB) as a means to get more money fast. In order to live like a Las Vegas high roller Quaid has to take risks. He is a self made millionaire, he didn’t inherit his net worth from a relative. Having a private jet, owning several elite properties, and supercars will take much more than Quaid has. The best performing asset over the past ten years has been Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a digital asset that could be sent peer to peer without the need of a bank. Every few years the USD equivalent to Bitcoin rises like crazy, so people who buy it early enough tend to greatly increase their net worth if they decide to sell the Bitcoin during a period of mania. With the increased popularity of Bitcoin and other digital assets it is safe to say this adoption will lead to higher prices in the future. So someone even getting in now could see good returns if they show patience. Quaid made a sizeable purchase a few weeks ago, hopefully in the far future when he needs the money, it is worth much more than what he bought it for. (242 words)

Investments? What is that? A new thing? Skiuuup did the best thing he could do. He got a degree in economics from the University of Berlin, while playing for the Fire Salamanders. It is the best investment, as there are so many players in the ISFL with little to no knowledge about the ins and outs and workings of the economy, regarding businesses, cryptocurrencies, the stock market, and all that. But Skiuuup got the degree and the qualifications to be their advisor. And he knows for a fact they will pay him a STACKLOAD of money so he can make them a BAJILLION of money, so they do not end up broke, filing for bankruptcy, and living of welfare, despite having made millions as a football player. And that, ladies and gentlemen is the right investment in this case. An inability creates a need. Someone has to be able to satisfy that need. And what better than an economic advisor? Skiuuup was raised to work hard, but smart, not a lot. And even if that does not work out, he can still get a job as a professor at a college back in the States. Will he have to be more careful with his buck? Well, yes. But it is not like he grew up hungry poor. Oh wait, he did.

Growing up, Albert Ruschmann did not have a ton of money. He always worked odd jobs such as mowing lawns or painting fences to be able to afford some basic amenities in life. Thus, coming to the ISFL and landing a massive contract, this newfound money is an entirely new experience for him. Many in his family have advised him not to blow it all at once, especially since Albert lacks knowledge of how to properly budget. This is why Albert has invested some of his money into becoming a franchisee of Dominos Pizza. It is no secret that Ruschmann loves pizza in all shapes and sizes. Growing up, Dominos was hands down his favorite. You just can't beat that $5.99 two medium 2-topping pizzas deal. Loving their product so much, and seeing it as an opportunity to potentially grow his money, Albert decides to build one in his hometown. This is funny because his hometown already has a Dominos. This did not deter Albert, however, as he figured the demand was large enough. Albert made it a point that he himself would deliver pizzas for the first week after the place opened. He figured people ordering the pizza would be "wow'ed" by seeing an ISFL star hand them their pizza. Is this actually a sound financial decision? Only time will tell. Until then, though, Albert is enjoying his Dominos.

To begin this point task, I am going to let y’all in on a little secret of mine: Cedric Wilkins II was born and raised poor. He just simply does not come from a family that had the opportunity to do much investing, so he does not really understand the nuances of the investment field. What he does know, though, is this: if he is going to consider investing, he wants to choose something stable, something that will definitely still be there once he hits retirement. Now, your gut reaction hearing that might be to say, “oh, so he plans to invest in big technology companies, like Google or Apple,” and you certainly have a point; innovation can be key to survival, and there is little doubt that innovation is the driving force of our biggest technology companies. However, and this may surprise you, but Cedric Wilkins II is unconvinced that we will still see Google and Apple and the like as the leading giants of technology that they are now by the end of his career. Who knows what could come in the future of technology? So, to Cedric Wilkins II, the safe bet is something that has been around his whole life, something close to home: garbage. An investment in trash collection, he figures, is a safe move; our need to dispose of unwanted stuff will be a constant for the rest of our history, so garbage will always be a secure investment. That is the brain of a Junkyard Dog at work.
