Invest like a ninja: Akbar_Gbaja says don't let fear get in the way of saving. investinyou (in partnership with acorns)
Akbar Gbajabiamila is the epitome of success. A child of immigrant parents, he grew up in South Central Los Angeles, played for the NFL and is now the co-host of NBC's"American Ninja Warrior."Starting with nothing and suddenly coming into"solid money" as a pro-football player meant he needed to know how to manage his finances.
"Once I started invested to learn about investments, it then really started to make me think: 'Where else do you learn about financial literacy?'" said Gbajabiamila, who played for the Miami Dolphins, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders. "No where else," he continued."It's not until you get into the real world where everybody goes, 'Hey, you are supposed to be reasonable with your money.'"
For one, he points out that there are always obstacles to achieving your financial goals. What really matters is how you respond to those obstacles and that you learn from your mistakes so you can make better decisions in the future."So many of us are afraid of investing," Gbajabiamila said."If you are emotional about it, then it is very hard to really try to trust the investment process.
