At what age did you have your glow up?

If you not a baller or a IG model then you gonna live that average life

I've been watching ish, it seems like the people living those flashy lives either ballers/rappers/celebs or on the side of the hustle that normal everyday working cats ain't on :\ @WHIPPEDCream if you want to live that life you gon have to think outside the box, I'm also trying to think outside the box.

I'm trying to live while im young not be old as shyt than try to have a life :|

He is right it's best to find a mate that is gonna hustle with you. Makes so much easier that's how wealth is built by using team work. Also it's easier to make a baller than to find a baller already and make him want you.

Never be the starter girlfriend, be the end girlfriend. Everyone knows the story of the starter girl.

How old were you when you were settled in your career and pretty much independent & handling your business(housing/bills/car) whilst having the ability to spend $ on things you enjoy?

I just want to be a independent Black Woman who doesn't need a man but I feel like this is going to take forever.

That "Independent Woman" rhetoric/lifestyle works if you have the right certs to pull it off.


Get yaself a responsible man to split the bills while you work towards your goals. Work smarter not harder...

I'm 24 and I want things to come fast like that for me.My cousin recently called and wants to go to Miami during our birthday month (in Feb) but I have other responsibilities to take care of before I plan a trip in Miami. This f*cking sucks.How am I supposed to enjoy my 20's?

How much is it? I can pay for it for you...but you're gonna get taxed.

All these young chicks you see on IG balling are thots, period. They fukking for bags, cash, vacays and cars. They will never admit it and blah blah blah but its the truth unless you know for a fact they come from money.

As for dudes, they're just doing dirt....scamming, dealing, etc.

Some people have decent jobs and they lease the lower end BMW or Benz to look like they balling but those are obvious to fish out. 3 series, C-Class....

You trying to push luxury cars and go on vacations on the reg like these girls you see on IG? You gotta start tricking, that money ain't free, shid

On the real though I really think you're way too focused on what others are doing anyway as a whole, you really don't know how these people are going on vacations

you gotta put in work, shyt I'm 24 and been working at my CS degree for going on 5 years, almost done, but I've been working 40 hours a week damn near for 5 years and I see everyone else prospering but I know my time is coming, you need to know your time is coming and to keep grinding, don't try to switch lanes because then you'll have to start from zero again, you all over the place, stay in your lane and keep grinding

But I want it now.This is going to be a hard and long journey & I won't be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor until way later.

I'm too high maintenance. I currently can't afford myself.

I'm still working on it and I just turned 23

The key is to be a hustler

A steady income is cool for stability and that why people always push us in that direction but if you want to live a certain lifestyle it takes risks. You have to take chances and be very creative because ye college and a steady job is cool but you won't be stunting.

Go work at the strip club if you want it now, some strippers make 3 stacks a night on the weekends, but you don't want it bad enough, stay in ya lane beloved you ain't gutta enough to get that stripper money

 

[Elle Driver]

You're already starting on a bad footing by having the wrong motivation. You prosper more by having a like-minded s/o.

You trying to grind and hustle by yourself compared to a couple pulling in double the salary and half the costs (splitting bills).


Get ya mind right.

In a way this is a very African mind set lol. This is not promoted in the west at all.

 

[eastsideTT]

hasnt happened yet. thought it happened around 26 but i fell the fukk off

 

[CinnaSlim]

I turned 24 in june and made crazy progress in the last 12 months. I'm waiting for my supervisor to move to Norfolk so I can get a full time position and finally be able to afford my own place. It's all just a matter of time now.

20. I'm 26 this year. I almost got married. I've had my own business. bought my dream car all cash. planned a pregnancy that didn't catch. I've rented three spots. I've made well over 30 dollars an hour too

I bought my mom a car and I help her with groceries. Now I'm focusing on finishing school and living humbly until I feel like crushing the building again.

I like the cook life. Its humbling and fulfilling. I've only gained half a pound in almost ten years and I'm still fit as fukk. If I were good looking I'd be a catch.

op u essentially got 2 options.....the right way or the left way....the yin and yang of life...........

either u can go right , grind and benefit from the fruits of your labor later in life or u can do it the fast way, which consist of you trading your soul for a grand lifestyle now. You decide, you're a big girl...with social media and how pretty you are, that left lane is def open to you. It doesn't matter what anybody thinks, its up to you bae...
