GH15 - The bodybuilder and bankruptcy
« on: August 09, 2011, 03:39:31 PM »
With bodybuilding being an expensive way of life, especially with those aiming for the highest prestige it has to offer.  Is it a common practice among bodybuilders to become thousands upon thousands in debt, hell, 80,000 grand plus in order to jump start their bodybuilding career, only to file bankruptcy and come out with a shit ton of hormones and no debt lol.  80,000 seems easy to hit when you're going to other countries to purchase tons of hormones such as russia for example.

No idea about the % of bodybuilders that go broke. BUT AP news released some shocking stats last yr, on the NFL and NBA.
A tad over 80% of  NFL and NBA players declared bunkruptcy within 2 yrs of playing their last game.
Pretty pathetic. ::)

Pro athletes as well as lotto winners often go broke because they are essentially idiots who have had money thrust upon them. Rich people who have slowly and smartly accumulated their wealth usually hang on to it because they understand money and actually had to work hard for it.
