I spoke at NFL rookie camp. I’m an expert on getting to a fico score over 800. At NFL rookie camp there are speakers who go over every aspect of succeeding<\/p>\n
Bryon Jones advice to 2020 rookies: <\/span><\/p>\n DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY. That number you see on your contract is fake. You will pay roughly 40% to 50% in taxes, agent fees, union dues, 401k account + necessary insurance. Also, a large portion of your contract is NOT GUARANTEED. (1\/5)<\/span><\/p>\n Do not live a lavish lifestyle. Although your mom may deserve it, she does not need a $100,000 car. She does not need a $1,000,000 house. It is not the time yet. If you protect your money early, you can live a comfortable life forever and provide for your family. (2\/5)<\/span><\/p>\n There are three more tips at Twitter under Bryons handle, @bryon31jump.<\/p>\n To add credit score advice,<\/p>\n -1- Do not co-sign loans for relatives.<\/p>\n Lend your cash. Do not lend them your tax ID number (social security number)<\/p>\n -2- get a file-of-fax filled with files and facts<\/p>\n You will be lulled into a false sense of security by letting your agent \/ lawyer handle that. Manage your paper yourself.<\/p>\n -3- Read the source code.<\/p>\n Do not delegate reading contracts. Read the paper yourself. Do not outsource money and credit.<\/p>\n -4- Take notes. Take notes about your money in a money and credit notebook.<\/p>\n See the Alex Rodriguez mentorship of Holyfield.<\/p>\n Alex Rodriguez, SS-3B, would carry around a notepad and cheat sheets. This is why he’s still got money left over. He takes notes<\/p>\n Just having a notebook that people see becomes ROI. Return on Investment. Return on Effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Larry Chiang I spoke at NFL rookie camp. I’m an expert on getting to a fico score over 800.
