Rob gronkowski never spent a penny of his NFL earnings. He lived off endorsements, and he lived cheap. He invested all of his salary (which got to be a lot of money) and now there will be enough to fund several generations of little Gronks.

I worked in the towns where many of the 1986 Celtics and Red Sox lived. I’ve been in some of their homes (I managed the CATV company there and would go on installs to some of their homes.) I was surprised at how “normally” most of them lived, albeit in multimillion dollar homes.

They are not all idiots.

Checking the mail, and opened the financial statement...
WOW!!! WHAT DID WE TRADE???
The botten line was HUGE!!! MASSIVE GAIN!!!

We have the same street number as a similarly named street, over by there, the old houses look similar and are the same color.

My wife and I bought a stock years ago with an excellent DRIP program, the neighbor must have started sooner, a good move.
