That’s sad, man. That projected $0 median net worth for our community is rapidly approaching. Barely surviving.


Let social media tell it, everyone is balling though. Living on credit and debt has its limits. Can’t live beyond your means forever.

Don’t forget your EIN to walk in a bank and get a loan

They probably didn’t include the social media sisters that are boss bytches, content creators, influencers,CEOs, and the nikkas that are financial advisors with no clients , have their own LLC without a business and 3 other companies they have

black people rather look like they got money instead of having some, validation and pride is a bytch.

What's funny is almost one fifth of the population of the nation lives in NY, CA, DC.

Self inflicted wound.

If you live in north Jersey, that ain’t shyt. 1/3 of your income is going to rent alone. That doesn’t include food cloths and utilities. No car note. If you got a used car, NJ has the highest insurance rates in the country.

You’re lucky if you have like $600 in disposable income. Forget about saving.

This is why so many couples move in. Or people get roommates.

Old folk down south call it 'shacking'..couples movin in with no marriage in sight..seems to be an all time high these days...and that in itselfis a killer especially when the inevitable out of wedlock pregnancy occurs...a financial death blow in this economy

You got common law marriage. Sometimes people simply can’t afford it or don’t want to go thru the hassle.

Then you got couples where the woman is on section 8, and the dude moves in and it’s not reported. This happens A LOT.

breh, look at DMX situation when he died...He was with his girl for what, 8 years? never married...New York didnt give a fukk about that common law marriage shyt when it came to parcelling his assets...that bytch aint get shyt but a double cheeseburger..most down south states where black folk live do not have common law marriage...and besides its less than $100 dollars to register to marry at the dam courthouse...I just dont get the idea that a bytch and dusty dude is perfectly fine pro creating a life but toot their nose up at the idea of marriage..shyt is ass backwards

Black folk in Idaho make more than whites there, according to that link. It's the only state with that distinction. I wonder what that's about.

Most likely all of the Black live in whatever the major city is (Boise) so it skews the overall state numbers from the CACs living in rural areas.

 

[ORDER_66]

Average is Average...

You can get a one bedroom decent apartment in a decent area in Missouri for like $850/month with utilities.

I guess this is the part where somebody says "but it's in Missouri"....therein lies the dilemma. There's several places where that income would be more than fine but if you're picky then I don't know what to tell you.

Preach. According to this I'm living above average in Jersey for a Black man but my bank accounts don't know that yet.
