The Scriptures
Get a skill or a valued trade.

You can go to a trade school, but stay away from the scam that is college. I went to school for audio engineering but make most of my bread in IT and never went to school for it.

LEARN HOW TO NETWORK, this is one of the most valuable life skills you could have, I've made a lot of extra money and gotten so many nice things based on the relationships i have built.

Got to capitol one and get a 300 dollar card, keep it under 30 percent usage, in 6 months times they will give you a 3,000 credit limit, keep that under 30 percent usage....so on and on ...

By the time you are about 23 you should have excellent credit and be able to get a loan for anything you could want at that age. Credit is important, gets you in better apartments, better cars, saves you money on interest.

Start reading books. Read Malcolm X's Autobiography. Read Ray Charles' Autobiography. Read Richard Wright and James Baldwin. Read Toni Morrisson and Zora Neale Hurston. Read Langston Hughes and Ta-Nehsi Coates. Reading opens up your eyes to a much larger world. A world of ideas and possibilities. The more you learn about how other black people found there way, the easier it will be to find your own. Don't settle for anything less than the life that you want. Find something you are passionate about, work hard at it and find away to make money from it. And don't let your life be controlled by your fears. Get in the mindset now of facing your fears head on. If you fail or come up short dust yourself off, learn from your errors and try again. Life is hard, but if you can accept that then you can appreciate the good that life has to offer. Finally, listen to this.

:myman:Listen to me breh I got you: Go to University (the best one that you can get in) and learn a trade / get certs (in any field) at the same time. Learn to Invest - stocks, etc. Keep in shape. Eat healthy. Avoid excessive drinking / and any drugs. Read. Stay positive. Get spiritual. Date etc. but don't simp and don't pay for p*ssy. Do not have any children before you are 25+ for financial reasons. Save as much as possible to open a business by age 25 (It may be later but keep 25 as an initial goal). If the business fails dust yourself off and try again.

Read the bible.
Go to college.
Stay away for alcohol and drugs.
Stay away from thots. They will ruin your life.
Use a condom. Get a hoe pregnant and it's over.
Do what intrests you and be so good at it that you make it profitable.
Show everyone you meet love and they'll show it back.
