A Lot of (White) Millennials Get Significant Financial Help From Their Parents

[StickStickly]

Doing what they're supposed to be doing. People here complaining have the game all fukked up.


Another thing is why more black people don't have life insurance. Tax free money but people scared that someone is going to kill them as soon as they find out the policy

Right, if you have the privilege, use it. They'd be stupid not to.

The problem is when people assume that everyone has that privilege and when groups of people have their work ethic, abilities or character judged based on that assumption

Am lucky also my parents both have pensions I don't have to worry about taking care of either of them (Wouldn't be able to anyways, at least not in NYC). It won't be a lot but they got enough deferred comp package upon retirement to buy some property here in the outskirts of this expensive ass city.

 

[Wild self]

this seems to be a problem with AAs more than anything else, i don't see africans and caribbeans doing this

That's fact. Guess that what happens when your parents low key hate raising kids or had kids too early. They want that freedom at 45+ to have the crib to themselves and to party like they 21 again, when they really and and not realize that they older now.

I believe my parents could subsidize my lifestyle if they wanted, but how could you even feel like a man if you're grown as hell taking handouts from another adult????

 

[JLova]

The thing is, people really don't. If you don't have or know about wealth, this kind of shyt is a legitimate surprise. The mistake people make is writing shyt off like it's a gift or w/e. Naw, the shyt takes hard work and discipline a lot of the people complaining can't even begin to understand.

I still can't see how any intelligent person would be surprised by this.

 

[IAmGettingAMailOrderBride]

Exactly. I'm Nigerian and most parents I know take care of their kids long after 18. My sisters lives in my parents home rent free and she is an RN! Just stacking bread until she can save and by her own spot

That's what I'm doin
You gotta problem with that nikka

What you mean, what. You white. You know damn well the OP is the truth.

That part about the homeowning burns extra. I think the problem with your people is you all assume everybody got what y'all got.

I ain't got no house....apartment life 4 life

 

[JetFueledThoughts]

I'm black.

I won the lottery with my parents, straight up. Especially w/ my pops because he's the breadwinner. My mom's a nurse...decent bread, but not great. All in they probably make about $170-$180k a year.

I went to a PWI that costs about $250k for four years. I only had to pick up $17k in debt. Uncle Sam picked up some of that, but most of it was pops.

I'm now in grad school and guess what? He surprised me with another $30k. Paid for with a fund he started while I was in Kindergarten. He also gave me a no interest loan on top so I didn't have to ask for as much from the banks. #blackexcellence #blackfatherhood

I love my mom, but she really doesn't know a ton about investing. She just knows to follow my pops lead and save when he says save. She still has nice shyt though.

Hold up wait...

#GMB?

Anyway...

That's why I'm busting my ass at 5:30 in the morning right now. Unless I really fukk up, I should be making around what my pops makes at 57 when I graduate--at 27. If I really do well, I'll be making more than what they both make combined. I wanna show my parents that offer letter.

That's why the last thing I'm in a rush to do is go live in some expense city and blow the money I'll make on thots and gear. First priority is stacking my paper so that whatever happens with my parents, in 10 years, I can take care of them no questions asked. This expectation has never been communicated to me, nor do I have the impression its needed based on some of the stock trades my pops was talking about over Thanksgiving , but I wouldn't be worth shyt as a son if I didn't think like that anyway.

Also, my pops never sold out or became some 1%er corporate villain to do all this...he has a STEM background and has never had to manage anyone. The man's discipline and thriftiness is just out of this world.

All this is just to say...really, I got lucky.

We should all be doing our damnedest to make sure our kids get lucky too.

But why aspire to be able to do this for your kids, when you could just bytch about white people??

I still can't see how any intelligent person would be surprised by this.

It's not a matter of intelligence, just exposure. You can't know what you don't see.

It's not a matter of intelligence, just exposure. You can't know what you don't see.

As a young Black nikka in NYC there was a lot I wasn't directly exposed to but I still envisioned myself getting out of this city to other places. I did that and now I'm back for money and opportunities but hope to be able to leave again.

This mythical American notion that one can work hard, and with the grace of God (and only God), you too will immensely successful.

White america loves to spread this lie.

 

[Art Barr]

You make it sound like all we do is complain. There has been several instances where we tried to get this shyt going on and guess what, cacs sabotaged us. The fear of Black wealth had these muthaphuckas dropping bombs on Black neighborhoods like we're at the gaza strip.

So now you see how they grafted project mentality.
completely, on to our people and especially our matriarch society lead women especially.


Art Barr

And it looks like it will stay a matriarchy, considering how they go out of their way to lock up innocent Black man and ruin their lives.

 

[Jhoon]

White america loves to spread this lie.

When you look at the republican field, or honestly, the majority of people running for office, they were given an economic opportunity. Mott, parents gave him money. Trump, parents gave him money. Hilary, mother was upper middle class. Etc, etc. The notion that one can rise from poverty into the duplex in the sky is mostly a ridiculous, American concept.

 

[Ronnie Lott]
