      Chad obviously used his time wisely as he is financially free from what I know from his interviews.

He would always teach us to wear fake jewelry and not spend money. He had some of the prettiest, biggest, and fakest cubic zirconia earrings I ever seen and I wanted some bad. Your career and your name will always speak for you and not the material things we consume. Athletes, rappers, and entertainers alike have everybody fooled buying expensive materialistic items that depreciate. When people believe that is real, there is no need to have to prove that it’s not. It’s not fake it, till you make it. When you make it, continue to fake it. It’s probably what helped you get there in the first place. Miss Chad for real. Blessings to you brother!!!!

    Chad is a man who understands self-worth, and when you know your worth everything you do, say, touch, consume all has more value, because it has the value you give it.

    Ochocinco was always one of my favorite players when he played but I never knew he was like this. You can tell he’s being 100% real cause ain’t nobody gonna lie about shopping for their jewelry at Claire’s. Wish more people, including myself, took his advice to heart.

    The one quote I’ll never forget that he said in the past is “Money looks a lot better coming in than it does going out.” I think about that any time I may try and get loose on spending when I shouldn't and then I don’t go reckless because I remember that. It’s always been true.

      100% true. Also using that money to invest. Even if you lose it, at least its better that you tried to get rich than just spending on something that will bring nothing in return. 10k on a car to get from point A to B with some extra money for emergency is better than 30k on a car, living paycheck by paycheck.

      Rob Gronkowski, for one, said he hasn’t spent his NFL money at all. He’s lived off of his endorsement money alone. His statements got picked up in the media as a major example that it could be done and as a feather in Rob’s cap for his wisdom with his finances. Let’s hope this gets picked up for Chad, as well.
