Those of us who are 29+ let's give advice to new graduates and those 17-24

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Whenever u are trying your best to accomplish something and it seems like u just cant get your goal accomplished....always remember the crackhead. The crackhead could wake up broke with no money and no crack in the morning...But somehow...someway...By the end of the day...The crackhead gets that crack. Now the obstacles that the crackhead had to go thru just to get that crack is irrelevant...They were determined by the end of the day to achieve their goal and they achieved it. You too can acheive your goals with determination, dedication and discipline ....never forget the drive of a crackhead.

Got damn yes. At the same time though:

Be greatful that you're not a crackhead. I say that as not to contradict what smokeu said but to give you perspective as to the right choices you HAVE Made in life. if you're feeling fukked up because your car broke down or your job sucks or your girl left...you're not a dopefiend or crackhead and you definitely could be. You're doing alright.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

edit- go to the gym, because most people get from sitting at a desk all day long

also..its never too late to start.

No doubt. If u are in a college dorm stressing with bills...u are still 10 X better then a crackhead on the streets. Thats a excerpt from my personal philosophy....it comes from me extracting the beauty from what I see in what would be looked upon as ugliness. . As ugly as a crackheads image is....there is some beauty that can be extracted from it. And that drive (even tho its very negative) is the beauty.

Its just like how when u see someone in a wheelchair......The universe brought that wheelchair bound person into your world so u can be thankful for your legs and the ability to walk. You could be walking around with your problems and that person in a wheelchair will see u and envy u because u are walking and would love to trade places with you and have your problems. Do we ever stop and think about how with all of our problems there is some guy in prison for over a decade for a crime he didnt commit and he wish he could trade places with us just so he can have our freedom? There's thousands in prison right now who would kill just to be us and have our problems along with the freedom.

I'm always trying to extract beauty from things that dont look beautiful because thats what u have to do with the ugliness of life.

Freedom is 6 months of expenses in the bank.

Don't stress chicks too much, invest in yourself and the women will be a natural reward.

I'm 28 but...

"Play your cards...go against all odds
shoot for the moon...if you miss you're still amongst the stars "
-Beanie Sigel

no but really...invest in you. My pops used to say "Youth is wasted on the young". I am all about saving money (and I make good money so I can't speak for everyone) but if you have a passion, pursue it now. Retirement is great, but work hard and do what you would want to do in your retirement years as soon as possible. Life waits for no one. Don't be the person saving and saving for retirement only to see your health and good years pass you by. Plenty of old people living average but will never see the pyramids because they "waited" to enjoy life after work. Now is the time to work hard and go broke because you have the youth and strength to bounce back. You can ask the parents for help and not be a bum if you pursue your dreams now...try doing that at 35-40

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Its 100% accurate. If you work torward self actualization and take care of yourself, you will only be driven to pursue women you truly desire, and your confidence in self will attract them naturally

I know because at about 26 there was a straight up before and after for me

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Make sure u learn something at every job. shyt has to be more beneficial than a paycheck

Keep your resume up to date and put it out for feelers every now and then.

 

[Steve Piffler]

- don't ignore red flags in ANY situation. take heed and act immediately.
- if you find a s/o that you can build a life with, do everything in your power to keep them happy. good s/o's are hard to find. most people are selfish.
- don't spend money on bullshyt. save as much as you can, because life does and will come through and kick you in the face. be prepared.
- have a side hustle (legal). always have more than one revenue stream going into your bank account.
- if you get a wife eventually, have a side savings account. you'll thank me later.

dont overcook the burger and the customer is always right

[Blackking]

Protect your credit.

Buy a house you can conformably afford.

Pay it off in 10-15 years.

.

i feel like this is not great advice.

i own 3 homes. 2 paid off...

I'd never tell a young person to get a fukking house. For what? At least not for some decades long mortgage TRAP...

They can keep it moving and travel and bounce all over before the age of 40 Just fine, if they don't own a home.

 

[Captain]

Everything is a front, nobody knows what theyre doing.

 

[Blackking]

Advice:

Only eat out your main girl.

Even if it cost you damn near your life --- NEVER go against your principles.
Be prepared for the worst shyt u can think of.
Read something informative everyday.
Learn to fight really well , even if you never plan on using it.
Always think good shyt about yourself....
