RE: (S31) PT 3 - Investments - BOOM™ - 09-27-2021
Well, here we are. The end of an ISFL career and I find myself having to earn a living from something other then insane football contracts. What a dilemma.
Luckily I have an excellent team of Russian financial advisers who have been investing my money into various real estate deals, both residential and commercial, as well as some other dodgy deals that I'd rather not know the details of to be honest. Plausible deniability and all that jazz.
I am excited(for several reasons) about one particular investment opportunity, my new chain of strip clubs with snazzy names to match. There's the Burning Bush in Los Angeles, the Boobie Trap in Phoenix and the Big Girls Need Love 2 in Memphis. There are others planned for future opening, but they need to remain secret until my team has secured the perfect locations in the respective cities. Now some may say that these type of establishments are disgusting, demeaning and should be burnt to the ground. I say yes, they probably should. But please wait until I have the right insurance in place and can be compensated for my losses. Also think of the workers, who after the initial covid phase, have lost work and pay and now need stable employment to feed their family and pay their bills. Have a heart.

Like I said, there are other investment opportunities in the pipeline so if the uproar over these "Gentlemens Establishments" is too much, I'll simply sell them and move into alternate income streams with a more popular public perception. My choices may not be popular, but god damn they generate some cash!

That's my secret. I don't spend my money in the first place. Sorry fellow players but I went to and graduated from university before I even got into the league so when I'm out of the league in a few years I'm going to put my degree in teaching to good use. Most importantly, I used my first game checks to pay off my college loans! I wasn't going to let those loans stay over my head for such a long time when I could pay them off right away! After I retire, well... while I wait for my Hall of Fame induction, I'll be teaching the future generations for a better future. Sure I won't need to work that long after I retire thanks to having a lot of money in the bank. But it will be great to actually use my degree. I've been a smart cookie not spending and money gambling or spending money on outside-the-game things. I have either made things myself or got things for free that have last me a long time. I've also not been too greedy with my contracts as I have never been a money-hungry person. I try to balance myself and the team, and I think I've done a great job there. Whenever I retire, I'm all set for the future.

We all heard it before that the worst financial investment a player or person can make in their lifetime is starting up a new restaurant... and guess what Beniri T'Chawama's post-career retirement plan? You guessed it, Beniri is going to invest his money into a family run restaurant where he and his father Lunouc T'Chawama can live out the rest of their days making pancakes and hopefully making a return on their investment. It most definitely going to be a large sum of his football money invested in the business property, licensing, as well as staff and products in the first couple of years. However, with the support of his sponsors and hopefully some endorsements from his past teammates, Beniri T'Chawama is confident that within 3-5 years he will be able to turn the large initial expense into a profit that would help sustain himself and his family for the rest of his life. Potentially, if the first location becomes extremely successful, the restaurant can become a chain with multiple locations and franchises, enabling Beniri to further support himself and his endeavors. However, it is best not to put all of the eggs in one basket so in addition to this grand plan, Beniri will be responsible in hiring a financial advisor to properly place his additional money in investments such as stocks and mutual funds. But let's be honest here, the restaurant is where it's at.

To be honest, Caleb is not very good at managing his money, but he also isn't bad with it. While he spends much less than he earns from Tijuana and Honolulu, he's yet to pick savvy options to secure his future as well. However, the most important thing is that over 90% of his paychecks go into savings or retirement accounts, so most of the money gets saved for a future day. He does have some investing accounts that he uses on occasion, and he does intend to use it a bit more as time goes on. For now though, he's allowing his financial advisors to passively assist him.
As for what he spends money on now, he usually just buys what he needs to survive like food and essentials, and will make a "large" purchase every now and then like a new Nintendo Switch, or a new pedal for his guitar. It's always been tradition for Caleb to make one "large" purchase when he starts a new contract, or a new year of a contract, but he's yet to make his purchase for S31. Rumors are that he's deliberating between a Nintendo Switch and an Apple Watch, or maybe just saving up for a PS5 in the future. Luckily, he hasn't impulse bought anything yet, so his financial advisors have been pretty happy so far.

As a player for the Minnesota Ducks and future player for the Baltimore Hawks, Morpheus is extremely lucky to be surrounded by smart and capable mentors who have provided unique insights into how to prepare financially for the future. As such, Morpheus is investing all of his funds into the development of a new source of renewable energy, appropriately titled, "The Sizzler." By wrapping this heat sensitive cloth around Morpheus' waist, an entire city can be warmed solely with the body heat generated by Morpheus' mid-section.
Inspired by the geothermal energy produced in Iceland, Morpheus aims to help curb global warming by spending his retirement years carrying out normal activities, but with "The Sizzler" on him 24 hours a day. Currently, projections expect that Morpheus' body heat will power a city of 3 to 5 million people. To also help local economies, Morpheus will ask that these cities pay Morpheus only with a few free meals and shows. With city savings in the tens of millions, Morpheus will also ask that this excessive windfall be used on local education. This way, Morpheus will spend his retirement doing what he loves, while helping curb global warming, and also helping take care of children. As always, Morpheus is sizzling.

This is an important consideration for Zoe Watts as she starts to approach the end of her career. If she ran her own investments, Zoe would probably dump all of her money into gimmicky things that are meant to help animals or entertain pets, or just try to support new products trying to get up off the ground. Luckily for her, she was wise enough to hire an investor instead of trying to figure things out herself. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, these are all words she recognizes but really has no idea how to properly track or manage. So she put her trust in someone who has the expertise to help ensure she's set up for the future once her time running for the Austin Copperheads is over.
Besides that, Watts just doesn't really live a frivolous life. She never had much interest in blowing all of her cash on a big fancy house or an obnoxiously fancy car. She contributes a fair amount to charity, has a few nice things of her own, and she has spent a fair portion of her wealth doing the things she loves, but she doesn't take things off the rails like some of her colleagues and spend money just for the sake of spending money. She's also a driven person who will probably continue to work in some form once her football career is over, so I think it's safe to say she'll do just fine.

A lot of players spend their hard earned money on buying equipment to gain a competitive advantage. Daymond Brooks was one of those players. But as his career enters its third act, Brooks is saving his money for retirement. He’s still a great player on the field for Chicago but it’s important to him to have a plan for life after football. He’s earned a bit investing in crypto and buying land in smaller, underdeveloped towns with growing populations. As the housing market continues to climb, Brooks will take advantage of raising property values with new homes and business complexes in those growing communities. Brooks was also an early investor in a chocolate sports drink that shall not be named, as well as popular media company B*ner Report. This financial savvy on display has him looking good for the next stage of life. He remembers watching the early ESPN 30 for 30 called “Broke” and swore to himself he’d never ever spend money at clubs, buy houses for other people, or live frivolously. It can be easy to lose sight of the bigger picture and spend too much money. It’s always fun to enjoy yourself, but make sure you know what the risks could be if you don’t manage yourself and your finances.

Want to know where your boy Jay Cue Jr. invests his millions of dollars so that he does not become homeless when his career is over? Strip clubs. Yeah, you heard me, Cue here invests 75% of his hard earned cash in high end strip joints. And a couple bucks on sleazy ones just in case. You never know where a good deal comes up.
If you think about it, some businesses might suffer with the economic crisis, but these type of businesses maintain a steady cash flow, as their target customer never gets tired of it. I would go even further in saying that Las Vegas casinos would go bankrupt first, before the strip clubs there. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies come and go, they go up and down every single day in the web markets, the housing market fluctuates a lot, the stock market can pretty much take all your money in a couple hours... You know what is going to still be there when all of this happens? Yep, you have guessed it, strip clubs.
And besides, with the amount of people willing to work in strip clubs, you will never go out of workers.
I do not see how any of this can go wrong if you ask me.
