Via Woodward Sports Network : “I wish I would’ve known about this coming out of college when I was going into the National Football League,” said Vick. “Like I told the kids earlier, you can have millions of dollars, but if you have bad credit, you’re still going to spend a lot of that money.” When asked if he witnessed any former teammates struggle as he did, Vick insinuated about 70% of NFL players have poor credit." I know he has a checkered past, but this is always a good thing. EDITED: I deleted a link I posted to the brand/company he partnered with for these talks. Behind the nice and friendly front page about helping people learn about credit, is a credit repair company that lists a price of over $1600 for the 'basic' credit restoration service! The $2000 version includes the oh-so-questionable 'tradeline addition'.

It would be cool to see some high profile individuals come forward and speak out on the importance of good credit. The reason 70% (or whatever number) of NFL players and probably pro athletes in general have poor credit is because they make a ton of money and don't give a shit. The things we buy with loans like cars and homes they can pay for in cash and don't need credit. But, when they pull a Mike Tyson and run out of cash, no doubt it becomes an issue.

I still say there should be a class taught in HS about credit.
