Rob Gronkowski Still Hasn T Spent A Dime Of His 54 Million In Nfl Earnings

Instead, Gronkowski says it pays in the long run to keep things simple and avoid a lot of lavish splurging when you find yourself with your first few big paydays: “I’d just say keep it simple. Keep it easy, and I’d say keep it simple. Get what you need to be comfortable, save the extra.” Gronkowski goes on to point out that in the NFL, one might have a particular reason to keep things on an even keel, spending-wise: “Because you don’t know how long you’re going to be in the league for. It’s a short career here in the league. The average is about three to four years, and when it’s done, it’s done. Be simple, manage it safe, so when it’s done you’ve got a little base, a little foundation to live off.” Gronkowski’s financial habits might not have gotten the coveted Warren Buffett endorsement just yet, but he is joining a select group of highly-paid football players who are choosing or chose to make it a point of saving all of their NFL earnings during their playing days, including Marshawn Lynch and rookie New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley.
