Stumpy Jones is not really money motivated, but Stumpy knows that in order to protect the things he loves money definitely does not hurt to have laying around. Due to this, Stumpy has done made some investments into the stonk market and decided to invest in himself. First Stumpy Jones decided to partner with this small up and coming beverage company called Brawndo. This company really caught Stumpy's eye because it is the first beverage company that Stumpy has ever seen that is geared towards putting the plants first and that really speaks to Stumpy's moral mission. With the marketing line of Brawndo "the thirst mutilator" on the can. They have even contracted Stumpy to appear in their television commercials to voice in the line "Brawndo, It's what plants crave." This will give him royalties for every time that line is used in their commercials. Stumpy Jones will receive 1 cent for every time that line is used in media for the rest of Stumpy Jones life as the earning will go into a trust to continue earning beyond Stumpy's life. Brawndo also is supposedly good for plants as It has got electrolytes. Stumpy then decided to pair with a fire extinguisher producer as they play a major role in keeping fires smaller.

Garfield Despacito Jr. is set to leave the sport at the end of this season, but the Orange County wide receiver is also known to have had an extremely rocky financial past within the league. He was once found guilty of committing tax fraud after fudging the amount of money he got from his contract in order to buy luxury items foe himself. The subsequent fine from his being found guilty caused him great financial distress and, like this post says, is surely going to cause problems for him once he has no source of income from his playing career. However, one thing he does have on his side is his marketability, and that is what he will target to try and keep a good string of money going for himself. The Despacito brand has always been popular during the veteran's stay in the league, and he plans on announcing a merch line to capitalize on this. The merch will go by the brand name of his famous catchphrase, We Are Despacito. He will be selling things like clothing, coffee mugs, sports equipment and more under his brand, and especially with his son, Garfield Despacito III, being a prospect generating a lot of ISFL hype, he can capitalize on the Despacito brand marketability for a sustainable post-retirement life.

Knowing how many players do not use their money wisely, our coach made it mandatory to meet with our teams financial advisor at least once or we wouldn't get playing time. Bender can't stay off the field so I went to the meeting just to see what this chump had to say. Can you believe this: he went on and on blabbing about investment vehicles, 401k's, and property values. I mean who the hell is Roth? I don't know that meatbag and would never trust him with my earnings. He did mentions something robo investing and that caught my attention, seeing how we have superior intellect to you dumb humans. After listening to the advisor, I slapped him across the face for wasting my time and walked out. I would make my own robo investing strategy. I went straight from the team facility to the cino, placed a million dollar bet on black, and promptly lost the bet. No worries. I'll double down! I won that bet and a few more, took that money and went to the local pawn shop, and bought a bunch of burglar kits. From there I flew to each city that has an ISFL team and formed criminal gangs comprised of children whose job it would be to pickpocket and mug ISFL fans as they are drunk and leaving the stadium. In short, the ISFL will be my retirement plan hehehehe

Guy Fields made a lot of money in this league already. It is hard to keep it that way though since being a football player is a very expensive endeavour. There is the weekly training where these people that help you get paid expect a paycheque of a million dollars per week. (A million dollars? Seriously, what kind of trainers are these? Are they made of gold? Do they offer more services than just training? I do not know but for a sweet million I expect a lot more than just a training session) So it is very useful to be smart with your money you earned as well as make sure it is invested properly so after retirement you can actually have a real retirement and not start being a dishwasher at a Wendys (Do they even have dishes?). So what Guy Fields did was pretty easy: He is a modern guy. He does not invest into housing or the highly volatile stock market. He invests in toilet money. Toilet money is the future where you take a really waterproof bag and put the money you have into the cistern of your toilet. That way neither governments nor banks can have it and you always have access to it. You may not be able to make a lot more out of it, but Fields would rather have a known amount of money than just have it all disappear because he invested into Gamespot or Dogecoin.

In Active has come up with multiple ways to keep his income coming in once his time in the league comes to an end. First and foremost, he did the logical thing and bought himself a cheesesteak stand since he was in Philidelphia. When in Rome, and all. It turns out it wasn't a very sound investment. After two years, his stand ended up going out of business. Luckily, In Active had managed to sypher enough money from the stand to invest in the stock market. He followed the advice of r/WSB, and promptly achieved legendary status there since his portfolio was pure red.
At the advice of his In Active's general manager, @Pat, In Active has stuck to much safer avenues of investing for his recent contract. He's started to invest in stocks that pay dividends, and have had a history of increasing the dividend per share. Since then, while he's still overall negative in his investments, he's been able to watch his passive income go up and is no longer trying to figure out scams to get paid.
What Pat doesn't know, is that there are still scams that are in the works that In Active started back in his Tijuana days. Some day, hopefully, those will pay off bigly for our hero.

A huge problem young athletes face when they get their first taste of big money is blowing it all on fancy cars, houses, and extreme luxuries. But, I have a rock-solid plan to continue producing and making money even after retirement. All of the best football players have incredible drive and passion for the sport of football. So while I'm still in the league I think it would be beneficial to take courses from highly accredited colleges on public speaking and speech. This allows me to have a second Hall of Fame career off the field after my Hall of Fame career on the field. Football players naturally have an easier path to the broadcasting booth thanks to name recognition, connections, and higher game knowledge than the average caster. But to get to the top of the game you still need some skills. Considering my players is already naturally intelligent thanks to excelling in High School and going to Harvard as a college for both academics and sports. I think this a wonderful investment because of the incredible contracts the top broadcasters make. Color commentators and booth casters are highly valuable because they increase both the viewers from other sports and stations and increase retention time thanks to making the watcher feel engaged and interested in their commentating

Well to start things off, my player lives their life just like they did before they made it in the big leagues, a frugal waiver wire player who is used to no money. It started with opening up retirement funds as soon as the first big league check came in. Johnny does not pay for any sort of agent or people to help out with his funds and leaves no time sitting around to play with money so it all sits inside a couple of these retirement accounts. Johnny may have more money than the common football player since he makes sure he does anything possible to add to these funds while spending nothing until he is absolutely sure it will be a smart investment after his career is over. The only thing that he invested in was a house since spending money on an apartment would make no sense financially for the young rising star.
Johnny had attempted to invest some money into his hometown teams but they were looking for a lot more than he currently has as a young rising star. With future aspirations to co-own a sports team in the future, he will continue to eat the bare minimum diet to help himself thrive as a football player so he can afford future investment's. Currently he is just taking it easy with these few investments of a house and retirement savings, most things young adults hope to be able to do.
