Ryan Broyles plans to make the $3 million he’s earned last for life

Lions receiver Ryan Broyles has made about $3 million so far in his three-year NFL career. And he figures that’s enough to last him for life.

Although many NFL players have gone bankrupt after making tens of millions of dollars, Broyles told ESPN that he, his wife and their child live on about $60,000 a year. After that, he puts the rest of his money into investments and retirement accounts aimed at ensuring he can live the rest of his life on his football earnings. Broyles said he has educated himself about long-term investing and is confident that he’ll never run out of money.
