These books aren’t about making the wealthy wealthier. Well, they could be but they're not. They're for those who want to take control of their personal cash and be part of something bigger—a mission to raise the standard for everyone, not just a few. 💯https://t.co/5FoD7ETzBl
Marshawn Lynch says he walked around with his $3,000,000 signing bonus for 3 weeks and explains how he saved his NFL salary
“I don’t even know how to spend money. I walked around with my signing bonus on me for at least 3 weeks. ‘Cause I ain’t know nothing about banks and all that shit”
“So he like, "Marshawn, it'd probably be good if you had somebody help you watch your money”
“Well, I’mma just have one over here and I give all of my money that I make off the field, I'll just put it over here. And the money that I make on the field, I'll put it over here”
“Then any questions I got, or if some shit pop up, I'll just cross reference. Ask one about something and I don't understand it, I go and drop some words over to this financial advisor”
“That’s the way that I worked the two. I had my off-the-field money in one account, my on-the-field money with a different financial advisor. Shit worked out”

Draymond Green blasts $100,000 NBA fines: “This job ain't set up for us to be wealthy”
“The amount of money we get fined for the things that we do, that shit don't happen in Corporate America”
“You get fined $50,000 because you say something somebody don't like. 50 grand, that's real money. 100 grand. ‘Oh, he only got fined 100 grand.’ The fines to me don't make sense”
“As hard as we work to accumulate wealth, coming from situations that most people never make it out. Then you get fined the way we get fined. It's actually not set up for us to be wealthy after we're done playing”
"The way we're taxed, the way we're fined, this job ain't never been set up for us to be wealthy after we're done playing”
Michael Vick says he had $13,000,000 in the bank but still had the hood in him when he got involved in dog fighting
“I had $13 million in the bank when I was 25 or 26 years old and didn't know what to do with it”
“I went to Arther Blank, I said ‘I don't know what to do with this money. I got everything I want, every car, every house, and there's more coming. I got to protect this now. Introduce me to some people and help me grow this’”
“We had a sit down, but it was just a little too late. They took everything from me. That came from my play. I saved everything. I might have spent maybe liquid $2 million”
“That had nothing to do with any of my friends. I grew up under that. I grew up seeing that, grew up watching it. I still had the hood in me”
“Nobody ever went to prison though. I didn't go to prison for that. I went to prison for interstate commerce. That’s water under the bridge”
