The grind for money is all with one final goal in mind: training. The more money I make, the more I can improve to perform better on the ice. Every last cent of this contract will be going into what I need to do on both a weekly and seasonal basis in order to be the best that I can possibly become. While the three million deposit is a nice influx to the account, this only accounts for 3 weeks of training and does not even begin to cover what I need to spend in the off-season in order to stay near the top of my class. While it would be nice to think of stuff like a nice big house, fancy cars, and other assorted toys, this will all have to wait until retirement. And what a retirement it will be with lots of great food and fancy things, but until then, it will be a grind of earning enough to stay competitive. In my off time I have started writing opinion articles for the local papers to help supplement my income. This combined with my partnership with Twitter and that team contact, should hopefully be enough to keep me afloat.
