Hey, uh, if you are a cop, you know you have to tell me right? ReallyInivisble spends much of his free time robbing banks and doing petty theft and larceny. The perks of being invisible really add up to big bags of cash. I suppose the best part is that ReallyInvisible's cost of living is way down considering he just sleeps where ever he wants, eats people's food while they are asleep, and does not need to bother to wear clothes. It is a simple way of life but ReallyInvisible finds it thrilling. We really loves when the ink packs blow on the money he steals, because then... and only then... can people see him for who he really is... Invisible... Or is he? What shows up when he gets blasted by the anti-theft money dye packs? The world may never know. What ReallyInvisible knows, is that NOLA is on their way to the Ultimus with him at the helm and he will stop at no cost to get them there. Going twelve for twelve against Yellowknife? No problem. Stealing all the gold out of the vault at the chase bank on Maple and 3rd street? I don't know what you mean? That couldn't of been ReallyInvisible he had practice. Who would have know that a rushing QB would've been so gosh darn good at football and at large-scale heists?

On baby, my boy is investing in Taco bell. Not only is it the greatest mexican-American fast food restaurant ever, (Before you say chipotle, they for real not even close to Taco Bells level.) they are on a quick rise up. We all know people to love to smoke on that giggle cabbage. We all also know giggle cabbage makes everyone hungry, and they LOVE greasy food while not being on this planet. Who has the best greasy food? Taco Bell. Not only is it greasy and extremely tasty, it's most importantly CHEESY. People who are not on our plane of existence seem to love anything cheesy. However, we've known this for a long time, so why invest now? He is simply investing now since there have been many pushes for the giggle bush to become a LEGAL drug. When this eventually becomes legal country-wide, Taco Bell will have an incredible increase in sales and revenue. Investing in Taco Bell right now is a clear move everyone should make. Besides that however, HAKK has been buying property and renting it out to people. This also ensures a steady income to fall back on just in case. Rookies and new players should always buy some property to have in their back pocket.

I feel like Brandon Prince would try all sorts of things after retirement to keep his money. He is notoriously frugal with his money, and losing any puts him into a blind rage. He’s definitely gonna be selling some as seen on TV product that promises to cure your knee pain or something. Sure, he would probably deliver his lines in a monotone voice and fake sniper the whole way through, but money is money. Brandon Prince would also invest in the stock market without doing any research beforehand. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, but he sometimes makes money. The one thing Brandon prince hates is murderers, so he would start a hit man service, but instead of killing people, he’d give them unrequested hugs. If the person is uncomfortable with receiving huge, he will instead firmly shake their hand while maintaining eye contact. And last but not least, what I believe to be the most likely of these options, embezzlement. Brandon is a notorious fraudster, and would definitely be the type to commit crimes in order for him to keep afloat. So all in all, life after football will be very interesting for Brandon Prince. In fact, he might get a head start and start that embezzling thing now.

Swantavius Jones has made a ton of cash in his 6 seasons in the ISFL. As a former first overall pick, and as Berlin's first ever draft selection, his marketability was through the roof. Cashing in on various sponsorship deals was easy, though it was a task that Swantavius left up to his agent to take care of. Half the time, Jones didn't even know what products he was supposed to be endorsing.
In any case, Swantavius made sure that the money was well invested. With every monthly paycheck, he was go and exchange 60% of the amount with gold, and then proceeded to bury it all over his land. And any time he ran out of places to hide the gold, he would buy more land. As of the time of writing, Swantavius owns around 70 acres of unused farmland, with the majority of his career earnings buried somewhere underneath it all. His manager has tried to warn him off of this approach, and convince him to invest it in a low yield savings bond, or even an index tracker fund, but Swantavius is a simple man and likes to know exactly where his money is.
He is hoping that it will be a long time before he needs to dig it up again!

Dee Walt’s journey towards financial freedom outside of football is truly a tale of two sides. On the one hand, Walt found his way into an amazingly lucrative investment opportunity. Hamish MacAndrew’s famous Chicago brewery, MacAnbrews, has started trying to expand. Because of this, he was looking for investors to help with his expansion plans. Dee Walt jumped at the opportunity after he heard MacAnbrew talking about this with the Chicago GMs. So far it’s been nearly as profitable as his football career, with no signs of slowing down. On the other end of the spectrum though, Walt’s fellow Chicago Butchers defensive teammate Wasrabi Gleel also came to Walt with an idea. Gleel wanted to open a chain of theme parks across the country. He wanted to place them as close as he could to any Disney World or Disney Land or Six Flags. When discussing his business plans with Dee Walt, Gleel claimed that the reason he wanted to do this was that he wanted to “break the meta” of the big corporate theme parks, and compete directly with them. Dee Walt wasn’t as keen to this idea as the MacAnbrews one, but Gleel is one of his mentors. It was nearly impossible to say no to someone that he looked up to. While this investment opportunity hasn’t panned out too great so far, they aren’t giving up yet. But hopefully they do soon.

Bob Roberts has been slowly preparing himself for life after football for a while, he has used his money to buy a pizza resturant in Brooklyn. He has been slowly preparing for himself to take over as the Head Chef at that pizza place over the course of the last few years. This has involved him taking night classes and spending the entire off season working his way through the ranks. At one point he realized he actually owns the pizza place so he probably did no have to do that. Well cause of that he fired the manager and apointed himself as manager. His rein of terror begins. He invested half of his paycheck into upgrades. WHAT UPGRADE one might ask? He has bought lambos for his delivery boys, he pimped out the whole restruant, he began infusing gold into his pizza. Is this finacial model helping? No he has lost alot of money. Oh that sucks but at this point u gotta keep dumping money in, to hope it turns around, Roberts is going more and more broke, even before his player career is over, can he finacially recover from this, probably not, but atleast he might make some good pizza

My player is doing a few things to maintain his financial freedom. It all starts with making additional money to live off of. My player is in the process of getting some sweet endorsements. He has plans in the works to make his own line of kicking cleats with Nike, as well as becoming the national spokesmen for Chia Pets. The money made off of these endorsements will be enough to cover all of his living expenses. He has a comfortable but not crazy lifestyle. Doing things like buying a condo and a car outright will put him in a better position financially down the road. He doesn’t have lots of jewelry or shoes and instead uses that money to invest in stocks. This leads into what he will do to secure that financial freedom. Every cent that he makes from playing football will be either saved or invested. He will have a wide portfolio when it comes to investments, such as stocks, bonds, cryptocurrency, etc. After his playing career is over, he plans on adding to this financial freedom by becoming a day trader. He will also invest in some business ideas that he supports and feels that will bring him in some big buckaroos.

John Huntsman is very good with his money. First off, instead of sinking his money into a “Full-ride, all expenses paid” college sports career, Huntsman decided to go to professional wrestling academy and work while learning on the job. He made money between the ages of 18 and 21 instead of playing for free for a university football team. This saved him tons of money and because of that, Huntsman has founded and invested in many for-profit organizations that help student athletes with the new Name-Image-Likeness rules that have been passed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
There are other financial investments that John Huntsman has gotten into. He’s one of the top holders of the new cryptocurrency, QuackCoin. QuackCoin is a very legal cryptocurrency that has erupted onto the scene and is available for trade on any major trading platform. Huntsman was not an original investor, but QuackCoin just made sense as the future of crypto. It continues to rise and dang gummit, he is holding on for dear life.
John Huntsman is not a believer of traditional banking systems. Any money that is not invested in QuackCoin, going into NIL agencies for college athletes, or funding weekly training sessions and upgraded equipment has been converted to gold and is currently buried in the backyard of one of his teammate’s houses. John is the only person that knows where this is and accesses it yearly when his contract is paid out.
