Since currently I spend literally every penny I have on equipment for the game that is paying me, it seems that my long term plan could be going better...So, I'm just going to have to depend on my charisma, charm, and stunning good looks to get me through in life, or at least 1/3. My plan is to take the Peyton Manning approach to retirement: endorsements, commercials, game shows, whatever it takes to get through the next stage of life. Living life by the seat of my pants which I may or may not be able to afford, depending on the success of the next gig, of course! You may be thinking, "That's wildly unreliable and irresponsible of you! How could you take such an approach to supporting yourself and your future?" To that I would reply, you clearly have not paid close attention to just how incredible my charisma, charm and stunning good looks have become over the years. That's right, I'm like Steve Carrell, only getting better with age. So, any of you all looking for a random fictional football player to promote your cause, host your late night talk show, or commentate on something that he may or may not be qualified to talk about, let me know. My retirement plan depends on it.
I have actively been trying to combat the inevitable time that I do start to struggle on money by making many investments and while some are definitely more financially sound than others it has been good to really diversify my portfolio to have a wide range of option, cast a wide net if you want to say. For more funsies I have been investing in some other sports affiliations and kind of throwing my money around those. I have some good friends over in the Simulation Hockey League and Pro Baseball Experience who have given me some nice ins with the ownerships of their teams and allowed me to own part of each. For a more serious future and to make sure when I retire here I never work again I have been spending good money on only the best stock traders and retirement managers to look over my earnings and allow me to spend what I need to spend while also working for that future for not only me but also my children if I ever have any. I also have been making sure to throw some money on any start up companies that might be big hits. It doesn't take a lot of money for me to help them get off the ground and if they hit it big it will be like finding gold for me.
229 words Code: 243 words Well, if most players are broke shortly after leaving the league, then that's their own fault for taking the league minimum contracts! Football players are worth more than what they're getting in contracts, but teams try to coerce players to take the minimum deal simply because "bUt ThE cAp!". Last time I checked, the cap wasn't a player's problem, it was team management's. What DiNozzo is doing is saving up his money from his playing days, and investing them into various companies that are developing some promising technology. Did you know that this company, Tesla, is making a self-driving car? How convenient is that?! There's also GameStop, which is a meme stock that DiNozzo likes simply because he's a video game nut. It's gotta be worth more than $4 a share at some point, right? There's also this opportunity to fund a professional wrestling promotion called All Elite Wrestling with Tony Khan. Word has it that they have a talented roster ready to go, but needed just a little bit more money in order to secure a television deal. If that takes off like DiNozzo thinks it will, it'll print money, bay bay! So, while DiNozzo is doing these outlandish things, he's being smart about where he's investing his money. How will DiNozzo do after he retires? Who knows. If he's not successful and broke, he'll blame league management for coercing him into taking the minimum value contract, as he should.
First things first, bold of you to assume I'm not currently broke. Secondly, there's lots of things that I'm interested in pursuing after I retire from the league (which hopefully isn't anytime soon). During the season all of my energy is focused on the next game and working towards improving my play, watching film and such. During the offseason though, I've been lucky enough to secure an academics scholarship at Virginia Tech, so that I can hopefully continue my first dream of studying physics. Ultimately I want to work in the quantum field, and maybe even take a crack at time travel, although it's such a complicated subject I'm not sure if I'll be able to make any progress. However, it'll be good to have a job lined up for me once I leave the game, and hopefully a distinguished company like NASA will allow me to work for them. I'm also working on a hobby of mine, which is to cook, and it's a great way to keep me healthy and save some money all at the same time, as I quickly learned that ordering food constantly is a great way to lose money fast. If my physics degree doesn't work out, maybe I'll become a chef and help future players with their diet plans.

It’s tough maintaining a good bank account. With all the things to purchase and all the causes needing donations. Thus, you have to make wise investments. I’ve gone into the pizza business. On the road between games, the team likes to find the best pizza shops. I see people eating all kinds of pizza and that’s what I plan to bring to New Orleans. Yeah, it’s great when a pizzeria focuses on their type of pizza and perfects that. But I am trying to offer a variety of styles. I have always held the idea that even bad pizza is typically still decent pizza. Thus, we will have bad pizza, great pizza, every kind of pizza. There’s a lot of work left out for us before we have the best pizza in the city, but it’s our goal to be the pizza place of New Orleans and maybe one day the official pizza of the Second Line. It would be great to open up shop in the arena so fans can eat some of this great pizza while watching the game live. It’s going to be my retirement. After football, it’s going to be pizza all day. That will show the world what you can do as a professional football player once the career is over.

Ah yes the wonderful world of investing. Z well as a newer age player and a young player in this league I definitely think the first thing I'm going to do is to create a really nice investment portfolio. First things first is we're going to completely Max out a Roth IR a at $6000 a year of the course of my career. next we're going to invest in a healthy cryptocurrency investment portfolio probably in both etherium Bitcoin as well as safe moon. will probably also have a few stock markets with low risk just to increase some capital gains. lastly the thing that I'd like to do is invest in some real-estate from my hometown. maybe owning a few houses to rent out or investing in other properties to hopefully turn over and sell to big investment bankers or just hold on to several different types of properties rental properties condominium properties so that even after retirement I have another source of income to go along with my other investment portfolio items. the number one thing is to not overspend my current income into obviously save some of it in my investment portfolios but also look ahead after retirement. most professional football players go broke after just a short career maybe only ten seasons in the league and I don't intend to be one of those guys . I would like to play for as long as I possibly can and they use each and every salary paycheck to put towards my retirement. Code: 257
Sconnie McHits and I have been very lucky to be able to play in the league together and enjoy the lifestyle we have built around football. Some of the most wonderful people we know come from this league, and it is our dream to continue to build those relationships. Knowing that neither of us can continue our careers on the field forever, after much discussion, we have decided to purchase a building that we will be turning into our dream brunch buffet. We will be hiring a chef and staff to maintain the needs of the building, and in the meantime, while we are still able to play, Sconnie and I have been taking some business courses to help us as we begin this journey for ourselves and our family.
We are absolutely looking forward to hosting many of our friends, family, and all those who we have met in this league. We are also considering purchasing travel properties, and have tossed around some bed and breakfast ideas. For now, we will continue to visit different restaurants as we travel for games, so that we may be inspired by all the wonderful places we have traveled to together, and will be anxiously awaiting your visit! 205 Words
Investments? Rodka Raskolnikov has never heard this term. As non American and not growing up wealthy, the luxury to invest into things was something that was never a thought or something that really crossed his mind. Not until coming to play in the DSFL did he start learning about from his teammates. He understood saving, and not blowing his money on things he doesn’t need. Money has always been a need, but now that a steady income and no real worries, Rodka finds himself lost in terms of what to do with it. Some say invest into crypto, some say that’s dying and need to jump AMC, some say invest in property. What to do? What to do? When it comes to this stuff, Rodka has a small brain. Most likely he will just cop out and allow someone that knows what to do, invest in some stocks. Keep it simple. Having a motto of don’t burn bridges or money. Keep enough and don’t waste the money on unnecessary things. Some splurging is fine, good for the soul. But moderation is key. Keep the money in the pockets and happiness in the heart. Investing is a rich mans gambling. Ummm running out of euphemisms here, bring back blockbuster.
