(S31) PT 3 - Investments

There are many ways to plan for a financial future after football. I like the Rob Gronkowski plan of essentially not spending any of his salary or bonus money at all. He is able to save that money and the money he spends he makes from his endorsements. There's a reason you see Gronk in a ton of different commercials all the time. He's making the money he spends on food and a mortgage and whatever else he spends his money on by doing that stuff. In the meantime he's able to do things like invest with the money he makes from playing football, so that when he does retire he'll have millions set aside so he can live the rest of his life comfortably. Now for Sir Peter Jackson his plan is a bit different, because while he is playing football he is not directing or producing movies. In his downtime he's been writing and planning multiple movies that he plans to make upon retiring from football. So while he will retire from football he won't be retiring from work altogether. Instead he'll go back to making blockbuster hits and hopefully win some more Oscars and other awards while doing it. But for most players the Gronk route is what works best. 

Financial planning isnt just important for football players. Everyone needs to be aware of their financial plan. I'm by no means an expert, but the earlier in life you start working on this stuff the better you'll be off in the future. If you don't know anything about this stuff but want to shoot me a message on Discord and I can lead you in the right path.
