NFL linebacker bcope51 saves 90% of his pay. Here’s how he does it. InvestInYou (In partnership with acorns.)

div > div.group > p:first-child"> Since graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 2013, Copeland has gained notoriety with the Detroit Lions and the New York Jets, where he recently re-signed for the upcoming season."I came out of Penn and I was signed to a one-year, $1.2 million contract," said the 27-year-old Copeland. However, following a severe injury,"I probably really only saw maybe $25,000 to $35,000 of those dollars before being released by the team.

To achieve such a goal, he said, his competitive mindset helps."If you just challenge yourself, you'll be surprised at what you can accomplish." Now he's sharing his conservative approach with students, too. This offseason, he returned to his alma mater to teach a class on financial literacy, which he's nicknamed"Life 101."
