Thursday nights before payday me and my wife be in bed rubbing our hands together like birdman..feels good to take out $3-400 walking around cash just because. I feel bad sometimes though because I have cousins that make less than $250 every two weeks from burger king...like damn, my petty cash be more than some people's Checks, that thought forces me to be humble.
How do people with a job literally have ZERO money in their bank?

When I got out of college I was making mid 60s plus overtime
I don't think I ever had more than like 5K in my account that first year, and I had no student loans
If u dont watch money and u are reckless with spending u can def run through it no problem. I wish I would have saved that bwuead
it takes a while to build good financial habits ... especially if your parents never instilled it in you. plus ppl in general are reckless as fukk with spending. i believe that if you want to have a social life and be popular you really can't do that without a lot of waste (assuming that your salary is about average).
starting end of this month i'm gonna tighten my belt heavy but i already know that literally 90% of my current "friends" will disappear. But i've had my fun though

U don't need to spend crazy dough to have a social life. Most of the money I wasted was on cars. Going out, meeting new people etc was very cheap in NYC. Me and my roommate would just go knock on the doors of the women who lived on our apartment floor, made a LOT of friends that way

Those types of nikkas will have no money saved (or VERY little), but a bunch of Jordans in the closet. I stunt
when i feel like it but only because i'm already stable financially. If i had no assets and no money saved, i wouldn't be trying to front like i got it like that. That's usually the case, those nikkas are broke yet still flashy.

It's very simple. Live above your means and you will get fukked. Not to mention shyt happens. Some people get sick, can't work. Or they have to support family, there's child support, etc. Many reasons why people are broke. Is this a low key brag thread?
We switched it up.... not doing much saving post tax besides keeping our emergency stash good. Playing a little bit with stocks but mostly plowing everything into the 401K. Been getting back 15% over the last 2 yearskeep us updated homie. gotta give us young professionals tips.
Cant beat that reliablyDef take any matching your employer gives you breh, free money
