SUMMERLAND KEY, Fla., Oct. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Safe Money Resource announced today the formal launch of NBARetirement.com, a comprehensive, online financial information source for professional athletes. The website features unbiased articles and real-life accounts from retired sports professionals on the financial issues athletes face.
"Over their career, athletes can accumulate significant wealth. They work hard at mastering their craft. But they seldom receive proper or trustworthy guidance on their finances – and sometimes no advice or education at all," said Brent Meyer, President of Safe Money Resource. "Athletes also face great pressure and temptation, which can have a grave impact on their future. That is the purpose of NBARetirement.com – to provide them with a credible source with the resources and counsel they need to stay wealthy."
To provide real-world insights, NBARetirement.com has teamed up with retired professional athletes with first-hand knowledge of the financial challenges and opportunities athletes encounter. On the website, Anthony Avent, John Carlos, Terry Dehere, Tim Perry, Jerry Walker, and Luther Wright share their own stories of how they navigated their obstacles. They also provide experience-backed guidance on what athletes can do to secure their own future.
Other critical, need-to-know information on the website includes:
- Why so many professional athletes fall from stardom to bankruptcy
- Common pitfalls for athletes in retirement

- Why trusts and estate planning are so important
- And much more
