And they don’t plan for the day when the income dries up.
Like a lot of pro athletes.
Didn’t pay attention to the ant and the grasshopper story.
Yep. They live for today, and care nothing about what the future may bring.
Lol. Our son, is a financial advisor and handles quite a few, or did, pro football athletes money. No names, of course, but Monday mornings are hell on earth for our son and his staff. The phones start ringing at 8 am with panicked guys wanting their accounts to be re-filled to cover either their weekend expenditures or their families expenditures/ indiscretions for the weekend. They fight long term financial planning, and when funds are gone or there is huge tax ramifications, guess who is to blame? Our son has systematically gotten rid of these guys. More than once, he has to cover bail for the athlete or a relative.
Everybody in acting should know that the cycle goes from ingenue to diva/prima donna to grandparent characters. You can't stay young forever.
