Many years ago, I was a pretty big fan of running back Adrian Peterson. As a lifelong fan of the Minnesota Vikings, I was delighted to see the strong and speedy runner destroy opposing defences.
I became less of a fan later on when I learned of some of his off-the-field escapades.
Well past his prime, he now plays for the “Washington Football Team,” if they even play at all in 2020. I said goodbye and good riddance to #28 several years ago.
The article highlights the fact that Peterson trusted the wrong people and that this led him to make some terrible financial decisions.
While a high-income can allow you to make some financial mistakes. It doesn’t give you a pass on math. If you spend more than you make it will catch up with you.
He borrowed money in order to pay off other debts. The problem with conducting life this way is that the debt will eventually have to be paid.
