Beckham on Netflix: Money lessons you can learn from former footballer David Beckham's documentary

money (just like Beckham had confidence that he would get that ball into the goal), don’t just secretly watch those Leipzig racetrack Porsche testing videos, step out of your comfort zone and buy that car. There will be people in your life (just as Beckham had his teammates like Roy Keane, who just did not understand his habit of spending money) who will ask, ‘Who buys a pen? A fancy pen?’ But David Beckham - confident in his talent as a footballer and knowing that he was creating a brand - knew that the money would come. He worked hard on the pitch, always showed up to workout on time with his other teammates.

But off the field, he lives like the star that he is. Imagine having a gigantic bank balance, and right investments and savings enough to see you through not one but a year or more of rainy days. If you live to save for that pension fund, then by the time you retire, you will be too old to do the things you’ve always wanted to do.

What use is it if you don’t pause and smell the roses? While you’re wearing your Gucci jacket? Don’t take the jam-packed train but choose to drive in your Man U red car. You may have to step out of your home earlier, but if you are going to enjoy the music that you love on the way to work, why not? Live a little. Life will obey and give you more.
