~UN_$ung~ makes a great point, there a journeymen who have made 5-6 million and gone bust, but half that goes in taxes, i dont think journeymen have any sponsors either or endorsments.
you would assume journeymen type players would be extra careful with there cash, its not like they have AT&T, Nike and Mcdonalds begging to hand them millions.
Jordan lost how many millions cause of divorce and is still rich.
i will agree with that point
you get 5 million......right off that bat, what, almost 40% goes to taxes
then probably half of whats left goes to agents, lawyers, assistants, publicists
so the point is a 5 million $ contract is not a 5 million dollar contract.....
but, if you retire with 5 or 6 million.....there are some pretty safe investments and business ventures you can place some money in that guarentees you will live very well for the rest of your life
i mean, like is said, its not getbigger money, or tiger woods money, but some people would still consider it a not-so-bad quality of life
