How old should you be as a black man to have tour shyt together. You should have a car? Stable job? Apartment? Solid closet? And just overall become a stable man in society?

Honestly about 28 no later than 30 is about when you should have some type of stability, doesn't mean you should be balling or anything but you should be able to know what to expect somewhat week to week. After 30 it only gets harder and harder to make changes.

Speaking for myself and my set of friends, ummmmm, I'd say 25 to 28. That's when I realized that investing in yourself leads to better things.


:snoop: at my wife's brother though. I ask myself this question as I look at him. Nikka is 26 (bout to be 27) living at his ma's. No real job but has the latest Nike after latest Nike. Shyt leaves me :scust:. I left the house quickly after I graduated university.


I wanna talk to him but I feel like it ain't my place and he must figure the shyt out himself...like I did. Lazy nikka:birdman:.

There is no right age, everyone is different and deals with different situations in life.

Your not guaranteed a stable job regardless of your education, having a car also is not a validation of anything.

Every man should validate himself inside , as long as you are content with yourself ditto what the outside world thinks

I'm about to give up my car once I start working from home and oh yeah I lice at home but I have over 400k in equity.

If I didn't mention that you'd think I wasn't stable right?

The age that works appropriately with his current situations. No man is the same.

If a girl is 27 and still living at home, working a retail job, just making it day to day, would you be cool with that? :sas1: When should she being making moves towards enhancing her future.
A guy doesn't have to be GQ living at 27 but he should be making moves to be there by 35.

That's the perfect chick to wife imo. I'm one of those dudes that don't want a chick with a BS, full time job, and got a whole bunch of shyt going on.... speaking from experience, there needs to be one weak link in the relationship... I prefer if it's the chick.

True.

But if you don't even have a savings account with a decent amount of money in there, and a steady job/income by 27 then you are hustling backwards in my opinion.
There is no security in life, but that is no reason to keep yourself stagnant.
