As the Super Bowl champion explained, his goal in life was to live a “baller lifestyle,” but unfortunately that dream was crumbling down after just a year.

“The money was just flying out of the account,” he recalled. “Learning from my experiences was the best thing for me.”

Thankfully, he was able to make a change, mostly because he was fortunate enough to still receive another paycheck. However, the memories of his first experience linger, adding, “Avoiding the rent lady when I make over six figures? Not the best feeling in the world. Embarrassing moment again.”

Still, the player on the Chiefs is grateful for his early experiences, even if he doesn’t always approve of them in retrospect.

“It’s definitely been a journey and an experience that I kind of appreciate over time,” Travis explained. “Because those embarrassing moments in my life helped me figure out exactly how to spend, how to save, and how to invest.”
