Change is inevitable...
Cats need to remember that there was once a time when a Black man in this country couldn't even own property... they WERE property.
Never compare yourself to no rat...WTF?
Bro 69 has to be a social media/entertainment jester for the rest of his life just to eat.
He'll never be able to go anywhere alone without security and he'll probably never truly have any friends because everyone is using him for money.
Come on OP...

Not really. By around age 30 most competent adults should have enough money saved to straight up not go to work for half a year or more. It's about discipline and career selection.He may be wearing an ankle monitor but you have to ask your boss to not have to show up at work.
If you want to take a month off, just quit and do it. Shyt take 2 or 3 if you feel like it. The jobs are still going to be there when you return.
At a certain point
it becomes less about going to work because you have to or else your life falls apart. Instead your relationship to working bbecomes about going to work because it's the most prudent thing for a long term wealth building.
You'd have to have wasted a big chunk of your life to be grown person who cant just take june off if you feel like it. I'm personally at a point in life where every month of work generates enough excess for me to not work half a month. So for every year of work , I can effectively not work for half a year. But I know others who are doing a one-to-one ratio where for every month of work they have enough excess each month to cover one whole month of their living expenses.

This does not dispute anything I said...you still have a fckin job. Oh I make .5 of monthly expenses off 1 month's work. This is not a flex if you're any type of productive adult.
You still have to ask for permission to "disappear" for June to keep this well paying job of yours.
Whether you're working or not, you still have to put up 40 hours of your life a week.
All this wealth generation talk, again nothing new for a productive adult. But when will you be able to kick back and enjoy that wealth? In your 60s?
Nah. Not by the system's design.
I honestly don't blame it on the system. Just a lack of discipline by the participants within it.
At the end of the day we live in the best country and the best system in the world for generating wealth. This is the only place on Earth where somebody can enter with $0 and have no prexisting connections and leave with 1 million dollars to their name.
If you think our system is bad, I encourage you to check out the system of Venezuelan or an Indian or a nigerian have to work with. Even peers in developed economies like Canada the UK and Japan can't do what we can do here.
While we complain about the system , there are millions of people lapping us in within our same system. Tens of millions who have left the system successfully. I guarantee you these guys aren't doing voodoo.
You got to ask what is that they're doing differently. And then you've gotta be willing to do it. I personally believe it's a cultural issue. I mean Cultural in the sense of the types of professions we seek (job i love vs job that's easy to get vs job i need). But also cultural on the types of lifestyles we live.
Breh I'm sorry but this essentially bootstrap talk.
COL has leapt, bound, and done 720 flips over wage growth. Most people at 30 are just finally having the financial security we expected of a 25 y/o 25 years ago.
Everybody can't work the same 8 jobs and in 2026 the discipline necessary to do what you're talking about is living like a hermit, and then most will turn around and clown the people this applies to (Gen Z) for being lame and not having typically young dumb full of cum experiences to "add character".
Being smart with money is obviously the way to go but we're simply at the stage of late-stage capitalism where we're itching in hives for revolution. The discipline we "should" practice would have us living like a Havana native.

I agree with your general premise that dude is tripping about his own life and projecting it on everyone else.Not really. By around age 30 most competent adults should have enough money saved to straight up not go to work for half a year or more. It's about discipline and career selection.

But man, the rest of your post is clearly privileged and tone deaf.
Consider yourself fortunate that for every year you work, you could take a half year off. You do realize that nowhere close to a plurality of black people have this kind of lifestyle, right?
To chalk everything up to, "well if you just plan better and work harder"
I don't know if this is how you intended it but this is definitely how you sound.Life is a game of choices, and those choices significantly impact your future. We in lockstep on that, and I'm someone who wasted, essentially ages 15 thru 30, saying this is a belief I have.
But please recognize that while better choices can be made, you're very privileged and fortunate that "just plan better and work harder" is all it took for you. Everybody didn't have the same starting point, I think you know this.
