Marcus loves saving every penny

I knew a couple like that. Made at least half a mil a year but lived in an old middle class neighborhood and donated the extra to charities. They said just so they have a roof, food, and clothes no reason to keep the rest.

Marcus knows that the NFL has an early retirement age; he will need all the money he can save while he learns a new trade.

Uncle Marcus is a really smart guy.

Wonder if he is paying Charlene to fix the truck, or at least trading off a nice dinner or a few hours of babysitting for it. Then again, he seems like the kind of guy who would do so.

There is one retired football player has a great life. Lives in CA flies to New York. In CA talks on NFL players on weekends, flies back to New York to talk show host on daytime, on GMA three days, and now does commercials. What about Marcus when he retires what will he do in his spare time? For me not a football fan.

Marcus listened to his father.

Would that all fathers gave good advice and all sons listened.

Marcus is the man! The game he plays, plays for keeps. One day your the toast of the town, and the next, you’re Joe Thiesman (know I spelled it wrong). The lucky ones get a spot yammering on a sports channel/ radio station, endorsing a big money product, getting into another lucrative side of the sports industry or using the money to seed a sucessful post-career business.

Marcus knows the rent will still be due and he will still need to eat when the body goes out. Right on Marcus!!!!
