LOS ANGELES - Gen-Z soccer fan David Hughes announced that his savings account is now just a closet full of soccer kits as he explained that he would fund his retirement with vintage and rare Forward Madison kits.
“I’ve got some real bangers in there,” stated Hughes to The Nutmeg News. “I’ve been searching vintage sites, and second hand stores and online shops for a while to build out what I think will be a good retirement path in the future.”
With his 401k devastated by market movement, a super charged housing market, most of his extra money going towards exorbitant rent, and unending student loan repayment, Hughes stated that he realized his only option was trying to hitch his financial future towards some kind of rarity market.
“A lot of my friends invested in Yu Gi Oh cards and rare Pokeman. I had some friends that really got into investing in POG futures. One friend got into creating Warhammer figurines and selling them online. Another tried to get into the sneaker game but the loan he took out to finance his initial purchases made all his future sales not as profitable. I figured that my way forward was to purchase vintage and lower league soccer kits for the time when everyone gets nostalgic over them in 20 or 30 years.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Hughes attempts and fails to fund a first and last payment on an apartment closer to his job by selling a game worn Totti kit on ebay.
