I'd never throw away my 20s like that. I've seen it happen to too many men i know, i'd be stupid to let it happen to me. One dumb decision can fukk up your life.
The dudes were either working towards becoming more successful or already doing well and now they're paying thousands to some bytch they didn't even want to ever be with. They could have a lot more bread stacked and be doing a lot more, but chunks of their money was/is constantly going to the baby mama.
This is how i see it, the system in general already makes it difficult for a black man to become well-off financially. We know this. Always trying to throw us in jail, keep us out of good paying positions, etc so if you manage to actually avoid jail, finish college, and gainfully employed, why be so careless when it comes to these broads out here

my life is too good to jeopardize it for a nut. If someone were to tell me i have a choice to either lose thousands and thousands of dollars and have my life change for the worse, or to be careful which women i fukk with and always strap up, i'm choosing the latter.
Being a black man who has his shyt together financially and no baby mamas

women love that shyt. We're unicorns out here.
Carelessly impregnate shallow, money hungry women and then complain about them taking your money, brehs
