What is it like being a rich black man outside of sports/entertainment in America?

Salary is between 100 and 200 (can't give all the details :scheme:) but I live in AZ which has a very low cost of living.

Passive net-income is low 5-figures (less than 15k annually).

Net worth is just over a million.

39 years old.

Edit: Percentage of net worth as liquid assets is around 15%. Most of my wealth is real estate and tax advantaged investment accounts.

I'm right there with you, but younger! :salute:

Women of any color are a different story all together and that needs a separate thread on how quite a few but not all women get thirsty. The stories and out right slips of wild and outrageous shyt that comes out of a womans mouth when she IDENTIFYS a black man with wealth is some :picard:

I can say this..people being just "next" to money say/do/act in some stupid fashions.

This is why I try very hard not to "appear" like money.

If you saw me on the street you'd think I was a bum.

But, you're right. Once women identify you as having "some level" of resources, their whole shyt shifts.

From experience, that nikka in the 98 Civic might be shytting on your account now and when you're "rich"

The upside is sweet but you are neglecting the downside there too.

Reality is you'll have to cut some ties and love certain people from afar
and perhaps form friendships with people in your income bracket

be sure ...it's what you really want because the journey there is some
lonely isolating sh!t with thanos kill-streak sized Ls

Nothing, I'm in school now. About to finish up with the associates in the summer.

Now I need to find the right school to transfer to and the right major.
You better. Don't make me have to pull up and put the paws on you :ufdup:

If people can't be happy that you've achieved a level of success then it wasn't meant to be anyway. When I see my friends making moves I'm genuinely proud of them and wish them the best - even acquaintances. Be part of that support system and chances are you'll find success too.
