Why do 78% of NFL players experience financial difficulties after just two years of retirement? How do the top 22% get ahead and stay ahead?

Imagine spending ten years learning, practicing, and improving your skills in your favorite sport. After countless interviews, failed applications, and long nights, you finally get an offer to your favorite college or team. You spend two years training and developing your art for the chance to represent your team. Maybe your career lasts one season, or maybe it will last ten years. And once you retire from your career, you enjoy your well-deserved money for a couple of years, and boom - you're bankrupt. All of that hard work for nothing. You might think that this scenario is uncommon, but in fact, it's quite the opposite.

Many athletes earn large sums of money during their careers, but as everyone knows, they're just as likely to go bankrupt. For every Shaq, there's a Terrell Owens or Allen Iverson. Is managing your money that hard?
