If you are a black man making over $40,000 you did GOOD!

[The Emperor]

I'm posting this as an encouraging word to all my black brothers who may read this.

Now I realize there are some of your who live vicariously thru pro athletes and entertainers but that doesn't matter.

If you are a black man living in America and you are making over $40,000 a year you are doing well for yourself and don't you ever forget it. Keep up the good work manage your money and continue to set new goals.

Facts. Making 49k and some weeks my pockets be on "E". Next year, I'm going to level up though. I get my annual raise, and I'm getting a raise for finishing my Master's.

Yeah but this is the coli. If you're not making 6 figures with 6 certs, 6 cars, 6 women and 6 mafia bosses reporting to you, you are a failure.

I remember when I graduated and had homies bragging about getting offers in DC and NYC for entry level gigs paying 65-70 but not taking in that = to 35k in a place like ATL lol.

10k off that 6 figure salary.

I thought 40k sounds low for a major city.

Highly dependent on city.. in some cities if you have no debt then it's ok, but you shouldn't get comfortable. In others not so much.
