$10k like a decade+ ago goes muuuuch further than it does now.

House prices are through the roof, and with the average home costing $3-400k and depending on credit, requiring 10-20% down, $10k is a start but it's not really the deal breaker.

Tuition is through the roof, especially if the student is going out of state. Again, ten to fifteen years ago it would've put a dent in a years room and board.

Now? Lol.

Rent is definitely where you can apply $10k n do good, or maybe pay off a car note.

I just don't understand the pushback against something that will vary by the household.

I got two brothers in my circle, and one would take that money n cry tears of joy.

The other would take it with a sigh n add it to the pile he's already spending on his daughter's wedding this fall.

Neither is wrong for that reaction, they're just in different places.


I agree with the bold because some people are wasteful and some are resourceful..

Anybody seen they clowned Tyrone?

:mjpls:

More than anything this speaks to the ridiculous spending habits, impressionable nature, and just overall lack of financial literacy of black folk

And perhaps most importantly, the degree to which black men are RUN by women.:scust: Look at who’s having this conversation that OP’s goofy ass is bringing here. Princess MyMy, Dejanae Smith, Krishayee Jackson :francis: Yet this is who nggas are compelled to prove that ‘10k ain’t nothin’. Mindless spending over frivolous things is a female thing. Black women get on social media and live out a fairy tale and nggas have been conditioned by women to be on that time.

Don’t answer if 10k is a lot. Stupid questions beget stupid answers.

Answer me do you own your home
How much is in your brokerage account
How much is in your kids college fund
How much is in your 401k

If you can effectively answer that——10k is still a lot and better served elsewhere—but at least that would frame the amount in relation

Blanketly mentioning 10k tells me nothing. This is FB, the O Block of black social media. I know what NGGAS spend on. Overpriced take out everyday. $500 Gallery Dept tees, designer bags, Jordans, restaurants to put on IG. :mjpls::beli:

Yes, it's a lot of money especially if it's money not being spent towards bills and expenses but just regular money to splurge and go on shopping sprees (clothes shopping, expensive takeout food/dining, buying TVs/electronics, smartphones, etc) on fun and self-fulfilling things to enjoy.

For example, when stimulus and PPP payments were given out, you be surprised how that 1.4K-2K dollar was a lot of money to people especially if the money didn't need to be put towards bills and expenses, it allowed them to have “fun” and buy whatever they wanted with no worries towards bills, etc.

Most people have never had that kind of money, let alone $10K to just spend on whatever for fun and self-fulfilling reasons unless they're in the upper echelon of wealth, think people who are athletes, actors/actresses, music artists, politicians, celebrities, etc basically rich individuals.

$80/month....

Idk I never ejaculated. I just get beat on and spit on. Sometimes I let them cut me with a serrated edge. Depends on how emasculated and degradation I am hungry for.
