Not going to lie I’m absolutely flabbergasted that the brother is six years removed from college and is only making 36k a year. WTF


:ehh:

Story is probably full of shyt..... The first thing is saying that his wife only makes 20k as a server are bartender which is a lie.... she only reported 20k which probably included her 2.50 cent hourly wage and credit card tips.... hell, there is a strong chance that half of her credit card temps aren't reported

if he's not a "safe" black dude it's possible. not to get too militant in this thread but a college educated black dude that's larger in stature is going to have alot of people sabotaging him and hoping he never makes it out of entry level.

Myself. fukk 12(1)!
I wonder what their degrees were in, and what they were doing between the years of 2016-2020 (since they got married in 2014 and maintained that they spent the first 2yrs bullshytting).

If you have a degree, it takes about a year to get certified to teach in Texas.

Make your debt work for you. Your landlord or grocer isn't trying to hear that you paid off your student loans when your rent is due or don't have money to buy food. Commendable on paying it off, but they're in trouble especially with them making 56K combined.

Your emergency fund needs to have at least six months of cash for your expenses. They really messed up here. Hopefully they both get on their feet soon.
