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.
