For me, it’s a question of how to stay humble when none your family members make anywhere near the money you make or will make..
Yea nobody's answered this yet. How do you stay humble when your family/friends are broke. If you're known to have money I imagine you've now become the bank for all your people. At a certain point it has to drag you down.

i'm doing better than my fam money wise but i dont feel good about it. I feel i gotta hold them down if they struggling. I dont feel good about them not eating so that keeps me humble too.

THE MORE YOU MAKE
THE MORE YOU SPEND.

YOURE NOT GONNA BE LIVING IN THE HOOD
ONCE YOU START MAKING DOUGH
NOR DRIVING A BUM CAR.

SO YOU STILL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BILLS.

Not really. I saved nearly 300k before I lived on my own, and I never felt the need to stunt or to floss. 6 figures saved up feels :manny: after a while, but I'm grateful for it.

Cats that want to stunt, got too much societal programming and insecurities to save money.

SOME PEOPLE DONT HAVE THE OPTION OF LIVING WITH THEIR PARENTS
IN ADULTHOOD.

I WISH I COULD OF LIVED WITH MY PPL
AND STACKED MY BREAD
WHEN I GOT A CAREER.

Even so, dont ever contact them again. Dont help them, don't accept their calls. Nada. If they viewed you as a burden, don't talk to them for anything.

Staying humble is not an issue. I just look at the Forbes list and realize there are people who make 6 figures in dividends alone every year
I will say I recently had a repass at my house for a family member and it was good to have several men in my family approach me on the side and either ask how I got a house like this or to congratulate me for getting to this level.
I remember one time I was at Auto Zone buying a part and a cashier in his 50s just flat out asked me what I did for a living. When you get to the level where you are comfortable, confident, articulate to the point random black people just ask you about your background because they can sense that you are more than "hood rich" dressed in a bunch of labels and shyt :banderas:
