That's some real ass shyt right there. I remember when I was a broke college student my brother wouldn't even give me a ride to school and we had the same class

I had to walk 45 minutes one way in the rain, heat, and snow. nikka would even drive pass me on the way to class on some shyt.

Can't be too mad cause it made me what I am today, but that's when I realize there were a lot of fukk nikkas in my family

thats a wack brother for sure.
you reminded me of when nuccas was in high school an some of the kids started getting cars. some of the homies that got rides all of sudden disappeared. we would see these fools driving past us while we're on the city bus going to school. they have a car load of chicks. funny thing is, they didnt get any of those chicks. they wish they did and sold their soul for a maybe. i remember i got into it with one dude. he was like "ay just cause we friends dont mean i HAVE to give nuccas rides"

i said actually you're wrong. any of my friends with a car where scooping me up isnt out of the way, or where their parents didnt already shut down any friends riding. you better scoop me up. or we aint homies. its that simple. if you cant hook me up when you're in position to do so knowing good and well i would do the same for you. then

found out real quick who the real homies were. still cool with those dudes til this day. and the funny thing is, i was a well known gas cash giver. i was the type of dude that would slide you gas money when you were already going the same way. just because i felt obligated. if your brakes or clutch go out while you giving me daily rides. i'll throw you a 3rd of the cost. see i wasnt trying to get FREE rides. but as you stated some nuccas are just born shady. what can you do

I don't remember, but I know it probably wasn't anymore than $100 (my first job was as a carhop at Sonic). I did that for like 3 months, but realized that I can't do fast food.

I then got a job at Walgreens and my first check was like 224. I worked in the beauty section and they paid like 7 an hour, plus I received a percentage (pm) of the sales when I rang out customers with certain items. I was making an extra $30-50 per check just with the pm system. However, I didn't have to do anything special; literally all I did was tell the customers who bought makeup to come back to my register to ring out. It was faster ringing out at my register anyway.

Then I became a pharmacy technician at 17 and that's when the big bucks started rolling in...

My first paycheck was at 14. State only allowed us to work like 3-4 hours a shift and I might have worked three days a week.
$88 dollars after taxes. I was Scrooge McDucking out that bytch at Ruby Tuesdays ordering an appetizer and a lemonade in the same fukkin visit fall back.

Man, the day after I turned 16 I got a job at McDonald's downtown. I think my 1st check was right around $200 for 2 weeks pay after cuts. Yep, I thought I was the man. I didn't really blow it at 1st but I saved 1/2 and spent 1/2 but I didn't spend it all. Did that all thru summer and when I went on the church trip to Florida, I had more than enough money to splurge a little and kick it. Then came back from the trip and took some savings out and spent it on buying back to school clothes. I averaged about $190 to $210 a check. Then when the summer was up, I didn't get no hours because the McDonald's I worked at was downtown. They would close at 6pm during the week and 5pm on Saturday and be closed on Sunday's since there was no business. I would only have 2 days on my check for 2 weeks. My checks was like $55 for 2 weeks!!

see, thats what i didnt do. i had my clothes game on another level dont get me wrong. but i made sure i had 100's left over. that was the first time i could buy my own jays. and i realized i turned into my mama. "wait.. $100+ on shoes nawww jays were " from day that forth i made a self pact. lol. i will never pay more then $110 after taxes. so technically my sale price limit is $100.00 (sales tax is high in cali). i havent once gone over that amt yet. there's always a sale, or a homeboy hook up discount some where.
