At what Age did you Realize you're NEVER going to be Well-Off or even Upper Middle Class, you're just AVERAGE at Best?

i have that sinking feeling of "damn...i might never make it to financial freedom", but then i remember that there is no other choice...its either try to reach financial freedom or be a worker for the next 40 years.

Get Rich or Die Trying.

My shyt morale faded when the mortgage rates started bugging. I legit had a halfway decent plan but was scared and procrastinating to pull the trigger.


I’ve been doing my research and budgeting again and I’m gonna take that leap.

Such a defeatist thread.
:scust:
Keep improving yourself and get your money up
:ufdup:
Also know money can’t buy health, happiness, or common sense. Success is subjective and comparison is the enemy of joy.
:jbhmm:
Either find your bliss, find your purpose, or find your peace. Stagnation is a choice, bytches is everywhere, and fear no one because we all must die.
:wow:
Inshallah!

For me personally I never got to that point. Even when I was making 30-34k I never thought damn this might be it.

Thankfully I test well & know how to tailor/soup up my resume. I’m currently middle/upper middle. More than both my OG’s made at any point yearly. I do understand at any point shyt can always go bad. Staying focused is the goal the money will come

The possibility is now real for me...just gonna have to work my ass off a lil harder

The Old head bus drivers who do some overtime are regularly bringing in 100k+ a year, and you can tell cause that parking lot is full of Benz Bimmers and Audi's

According to what our union worked up, when I hit top pay in two years I should be bringing in 44 an hour.....so like others said CDL is definitely the move right now and I highly encourage folks to get it.
