Brehs that make over $75k, how do you stay humble?

[Super Future Luther King Jr.]

Haven't read thru the thread yet at all....but as far myself....I came from nothing. So I could never forget the struggle....I remember learning how to chef up ramen noodles by the 4th-5th grade, adding butter to the sides of the bowl, adding hot sauce, cheese, etc and so on....So I appreciate every single thing (materialistic or not) I've gained in life tremendously. I worked hard for where I'm at in life as a man period....I take it how it go and keep it moving 95% of the time. If I'm up that's beautiful. If I'm not that's okay Ima bounce back....there's beauty in the struggle too

No flex brehs I've cleared over 6 six figures since 2012-2013. I haven't missed yet (2017 was barely hitting the mark tho smh) I gotta keep pushing. Life is what you make it

I live in DC and make $80K and I'm living good. I live within my means though. Dudes at my job pushing them German luxury rides with $800+ per month car notes and $3500 per month rents while I'm pushing a paid off Toyota and got a house.

100k up north
125k in the bay

And do you feel obligated to help your struggling ass family?

They get married and have kids.

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 after a while, but I'm grateful for it.

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

What did you do with the 300k?

 

[mrfortune]

if you live in california that is poverty level

 

[Wild self]

What did you do with the 300k?

Still in the bank

Plus with some figures more. That extra 1k per month from interests rates alone helps a whole lot.

[Ohnoits]

I don’t... if anything I’m way more arrogant.

But now I am always motivated because I can’t ever go back...

 

[Nemesis]

There are people that like to show off and there are people that dont

how much you earn has nothing to do with it ...

Honestly, I live in NY so my salary is good but if I go off the rails, I'd be in some shyt

Luckily, I'm a simple dude. I don't need designer shyt.

I just need a gym, fitted clothes, a few amenities and hobbies I pay for and provide for my fam.

Plus, when youbare making a certain amount, many of your peers are as well so you don't feel abnormal.

Since I have never been a "stunt on them" type, when I go around family and friends who aren't doing as well, I'm very cognizant of that and I behave appropriately.

I live in nyc and used to be the same way....wait till you get 30 and start thinking about buying a house.... in nyc. Then you will realize 75k is not a lot of money. You need to make more to be able to afford a house in nyc or even a good co op apt in a nice area.

 

[philmonroe]

No disrespect but is that considered a lot of money in 2018?

Not saying I make that

No disrespect but this is a stupid question

 

[philmonroe]

It's not hard to stay humble once you reach a certain age/comfort within yourself

Gotta get comfortable with yourself...otherwise it's not a money issue. Nyggas who make minimum wage save money to buy Hermes and millionaires wear hanes white tees

Everytime we have a money thread here come the dummies with the stupid shyt. This bullshyt ain't true and no that don't mean it's not folks that fit this narrative but people our age with money (teens to mid 30's )aren't just wearing wal mart clothes with a used Prius Foh

Born and raised in the Bay, 300k salary will land u in pretty much any decent neighborhood out here bro

your mans humblebragged u with that story

bruh

every single detached house in a good neighborhood in SF is 1.0 - 1.2M +

just to reasonably downpay on that, u need 25% of that which is like 250 racks Minimum, plus fees. that means u gonna needa borrow like 800-1M from a bank. Not only do u need A1 credit, but your income levels needa be a certain amount.

making 300k, ur gonna get taxed out over 1/3 of your income off the top. now include out rent of like 4-5k a month (60k a year) and other expenses, my homeboy doesn't have the 250-300 racks.

off his salary of approx 300k, his take home after taxes is around 200k, and after expenses, hes probably bringing in and saving less than 100k a year.

even making 300k a year, u gotta save up for a few years before you got the bread.

SF is a diff animal, im jus sayin
