The legendary skateboard, Tony Hawk, was barely teens when he began to make six numbers as a professional competitor. Like most children, Hawk has blown off $ 160,000 a year on a leisure. It is a state -of -the -art technical toy that includes a fun outing for friends, the latest skateboard items, and home tanning beds.

“It was the worst purchase,” said Hawk in Sofi’s Richer Lives Podcast. “I live in Southern California. Why do you buy a tanned bed?”
In Hawk’s spending, his father encouraged him to buy a house. The 17 -year -old Hawk was the ultimate symbol of freedom, and thought that it was a place without adults to hold a party, but when the income of the skateboard was depleted in the early 90’s, he was him. It will be the grace of salvation. Star skaters survived with a $ 5 octopus meal to save money and maintain a dream house. He purchased in the first few years.
“The first property I bought was the blessing of my savings because I bought another real estate and entered the water for my expenses. I set up a big lamp there. But it was a dream, but I was really on my head. “I took out my second mortgage loan, established a skateboarding company for everything, and then sold my house because I was taking it. My son was born at that time. I returned to my house with my new family when I was in high school.
“That’s when I really started reducing all costs,” he added. “It was definitely octopus bell, top ramen, peanut butter and jelly sandwich.”
Hawk said he had begun using multiple gigs to keep his family floating, including editing videos of skateboarding companies, designing lamps, and consulting for movies and commercials. He did not lose his skateboard skills, but Hawk said he was “too old” despite him in his mid -20s.
“Especially in the early 90’s, skating was considered just a youth sport, so if you are 18 years old, you are too old.” “I was 24 years old. I was far beyond what they thought they had prime to become a professional skater or even tolerated. My name was other jobs. I was in the Hollywood Radar, but I didn’t seem to be a bit. I’m doing this. “
Hawk told him that he had more financial responsibilities and focus on savings in case his time from the spotlight.
“I think the bass line was” I don’t live beyond your means. ” I thought it wasn’t. “Oh, I just denied that I didn’t make as much as I was spending.” “And at some point, I definitely didn’t make as much as expenditure, but I still had all the costs. At that time, I had to go to pay it. I was really scared of things.
“It was a morning call,” he said. “You should always be alive, as you always know you have savings.”
Thankfully, Hawk’s stars landed in 1999 after the first professional skater game was launched in the X -game and the first professional skater game was started in PlayStation. Since then, Hawk has maintained a skateboard, pop culture, and charity icon. He will be the headline of Inman Connect San Diego in August.
“I wasn’t preparing for the next comeback. I didn’t know it would happen,” he said. “So when it came back, I was ready to live in a very responsible way.”
