another example of living paycheck to paycheck

[GREENBACK]

There are too few schools that teach personal finance. However, the NFL has a program for all incoming rookies that teaches them how to manage and handle the money they just came into. As well as teaching them how to manage their money, they also help make them aware of the friends/women that will be after them as well, lol.

You're suddenly a 21 yr. old multi-millionaire from the hood and you go through one of these life management courses and that's supposed to change you forever? I grew up in the "hood" and can tell you that no silly little class will stop behavior that's learned from a hand to mouth existence that's all you've ever known. These guys are coddled like prize race horses from the first sign of talent and are given very poor financial advice to say the least when the big bucks start rolling in. Agents and owners know what they're doing and absolutely take advantage of these athletes.

These athletes are very aware of those around them and in many cases feel obligated to support them. They also have excessively cocky, young attitudes about life like many young people that don't have lots of money. You're responsible for the decisions you make as an adult but I'm very sure most of these guys are not financial "adults". As for the women....Young, rich, good looking athlete, I know where my money would have went

Btw, just a guess but I'll bet Jared Allen isn't from the hood.

Always a victim.
