Kalam Mekhar grew up in a relatively successful rural family, so he was used to not wanting for much as a kid. However, his parents made sure that Kalam and his siblings weren’t spoiled and knew the value of hard work and spending money wisely. While Kalam would have been able to afford college even if he had not been able to get a scholarship to play football, many of his teammates came from families that would not have been able to pay for it. As a result, once he was drafted into the big leagues and started making a lot of money, the first thing he did was to find a solid financial advisor to make sure that he would be set for life. Kalam certainly lives a privileged lifestyle, and has a nice car and big house, but he also makes sure to invest his money wisely. You won’t find him dropping a ton of money into flashy investments like AMC or Dogecoin, or driving a Bentley, or living in a 10,000 square foot mansion. Kalam and his advisor have made sure to invest in a diverse portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other ‘boring’ financial investment opportunities. Hopefully, more players will follow Kalam’s example so they won’t be broke as soon as they stop playing football!
