My current job pays 17.50 a hr but if i get the promotion I'll be at 25 and the weekend shyt I'm trying to lock down is sat and sun from 8 to 4pm doing security for 27 a hr. I would still be home by 5 everyday I just wouldn't have days off but fukkit I ain't doing heavy labor so I'll take it. That plus Wifey making 46k as a teacher and we gonna be living in the burbs by 2020 :blessed:

or get a better paying job yourself. the object of the game is to work smarter, not harder.
90 percent of black people earn under 50k per year so I think being realistic is also important. We all aren't going to be making great dough by ourselves by 2015 so um yea dual income is the way to go. Power couples. We arent cacs in the 50s. All hands on deck

That's the truth. I would like to have a wife that makes the same amount as myself. Society trys to tell the man to make 50k and go save a chick that works and makes 20k. If you get fired how the fukk is 20k going to keep you afloat.

20k in LA aint shyt; a studio apartments start off around 700 in a bad neighborhood.
You could get a 1 bedroom in the valley for 800 and not have to worry about shyt. Same in Inglewood depending on where you rent. Black people aren't concentrated I to many areas in l.a so you gotta find them pockets if you can.

I be tryna talk these nikkas man.
nikkas just be scared to put in that work to make some REAL money. Rather work they ass off for a 2nd 9-5 than put that energy and effort into making some residual income. Thats where im tryna get at. Its 2014, if you have a laptop and wifi, and some spare time, you have the tools to CREATE a second job/stream of income.

I don't see a thing wrong with somebody that's willing to get on their grind and go out and make money to obtain a goal. Yeah they shouldn't be bragging but if they are saying that they are "about that money" and are working 3 jobs, then I would say they aren't lying. Unless they are tricking/blowing their money on some bullshyt.

I had three jobs right after college. All of my friends (like people in this thread) were on that "Why are you working so much?" :what: ...You need to enjoy life!" :ufdup:

FFWD to now. I have one job (in the Reserves too) and have a decent life with financial freedom because I went hard and saved up a decent amount of money to get ahead in life. :myman:

While most of my friends who were looking at me sideways are struggling to make ends meet. :mindblown:

Again, I don't see how you can talk shyt about somebody that's going out to work to accomplish a goal. Seems illogical to me.

You right. But I prefer men to work smart in this economy. Technology is going to wipe out many jobs and even the so called high paying ones with skills will be eliminated. Time to think outside the box.
What does that mean. Think outside the box and do what exactly. Technology is still a viable option for people even if they don't have college degrees. You just have to attain higher level certs to be viable in 2014 because of the competition.

no doubt. I want my wife to work. but in my house we ain't gonna starve if she doesn't. shyt would just be tighter.

hell, I wouldn't care if she made more money than me. that way I could offload some of these bills onto her.

Cats still think with the employee mentality.
