Arab Money
Why do so many black men take offense to this. Even if you have a job, yes you should have at least one other stream of income. Legal of course.
Even rich or wealthy people tend to have more than one stream of income. Even if you're wealthy you still should be having multiple ways to make more money.
Generally black men do not consider going the entrepreneur route so, if being self employed is not for you, if you'd rather work for someone else, then at least have TWO streams of income if not more. At least have something going on income-wise outside of that job. U could lose that job....and even if u dont, why wouldnt u want to get as much money as possible?
I do all type of shyt (which is why i dont post much), i fix computers, wholesale houses, sell items online, i train ppl at the gym on base to get them ready for basic training , i have money invested in diff ventures (not any pyramid scheme type shyt, always research before investing in ANYTHING).
Your side shyt can even be some online shyt as long as it's legitimate. nikkas are willing to put down $250 easily every couple of months for the new sneaker releases, but won't put up money for valuable information that can help them start their own business or help them learn what to legitimate avenues to invest in to make more money. Many run our mouth about what we're gonna do, what others need to do, or what needs to change, but when it's time to put money up for what we WANT to change, we get quiet or make excuses for why we "ain't got it". Nobodys gonna take that shyt serious. U talking about "the white man" and "the system" but you only have one source of income coming in instead of two, and you dont even invest your money in anything....
All these nikkas all over the map who love kicks so much, taking pics of them and putting them on social media etc but hardly any of them own their own shoe store or even invest any money in stock. Completely cool with working their one little grocery store, fast food, or retail job. No side jobs or investments. Etc. No thoughts to save & start up their own small business etc.
Your income is supposed to serve as leverage. Money is not only meant to be spent but also meant to make more money. We all consume in some way, but you should also be using some of your money to make more money. A lot of black men dont know what money is really for
Grown men who know nothing about business or investments. As soon as they get their check, blow it on shoes, clothes, and other shyt with no real value.
A lot of brehs my age like kicks but would never think to get togther and put their money up to open a shoe store or any type of store. I went to school with an Arab breh who now owns a sneaker store in my hometown at 24. I can't think of a local young or even middle aged black man who owns a shoe store or any store or company but plenty of them have colorful Jordans, KDs, etc
Most black men are complacent now. As a collective, we are ok with being the fry cook, the cart getter, or working in retail, even well into our fukkin 30s, and on top of that, have no side income to supplement those wack jobs. Working one wack job that a teenager should be working at, then if u lose it, living off of unemployment until you find another wack job because u have nothing else going on, has become the norm. Getting into investments or having side jobs while u work your main job and letting your money grow is a good thing if you can manage it
