Anything is possible, you need some income but anyone can start small

Yea but this relies on absolutely no unforeseen circumstances, because if anything pops up, e.g. a health issue, getting laid off, or car problems, that $1378 that took a year to save could be gone in days or even minutes.

If you don't have someone you can lean on you're going to have a lot of trouble.

When I moved to l.a I needed a woman to live off of rent free to get educated enough to be useful in the job market.

My penis, good looks and charm made this easy for me to accomplish

If my penis was small and I was ugly and swagless I may have had to move back to mommies house

They don't hear you tho. This was me in the army and after until I landed my first salaried gig.

Its like when you save, you're just inviting shyt to happen to you. My bank account would get to $800 then bam, my motor mount would break. But I need my car to get to work. And I live in the burbs far from public transportation because I cannot afford a place closer to the city, etc, etc.

One thing I learned while being poor was how to fix a car tho. I can change brakes, rotors, fuel filters, change my oil, all that shyt.

Yea man it's no joke. I just noticed in your post that I said getting laid hahaha I meant to say getting laid off. But for real, with no foundation it's an uphill climb that not only takes a crazy work ethic and discipline, but also a ton of luck.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Never said it was magic bruh, reread what I actually said.
i'm saying it's magic

the OP is going off a woman saying she can't even afford more than $10 shoes... why? cause she needs every penny to pay her bills.. and by using every penny, she still late on shyt


then you come in and say, "you need income but...."

which is exactly the point they were making... they don't have any more income.. hence them being broke.. hence them not being able to pay bills.. hence them not having $1 or $52 to put in no bank

If I have 3200 to pay people and min wage is 8 bucks an hour (plus benefits means 10/hr) I get 320 hours of labor. 4 full time workers.

If min wage goes up to 12 then I have to pay em 16 after benefits and I only get 200 hours of labor. Either people get fired or everyone gets less hours.


See this is where generations old corporations need to be seized and made into social building institutes by the government..to give everyone an income and ample employment to take care of themselves.
As these corporations in power are all inheritance based and they are rich enough.
They are not some guy foraging in the wild bringing in pelts worth billions in today economy in uncharted dangerous land.
With bears Indians with arrows small tree limbed sized, or grabbing a hatchet to half scalp your skull like in that Leo dicaprio movie.

So, the problem with America is corporations are more important people than real people.

That is the issue,....companies got to make a fake profit back in the large job layoff in the mid nineties and kept slicing payroll for a fake profit.
till we got to bush and the purposeful great recession.
So, now....corporations need to be reduced in power.
So, broke bum ass politicians can stop taking payoffs.
that hurt society because of corporate based laws.
that actually hurt society, and influence low quality of human care in our country.

That's life, gotta roll with the punches and adjust

I just saved a good bit of money the last 6 months... Only to have 70% of it get washed due to car repairs

Gotta keep going though

Everyone can make sacrifices bruh. I never said it was magic, and nothing is "impossible".

Take a step back and analyze what you spend your money on and I'd guess that most people can pick out something they can do without to put that cash back in their pocket.

Lies, I was making 10.50/ hour with expenses of $1200 a month. Know what I did? Went and got a 2nd job and saved up a lot of racks over a two year period. My pops told me I'm a black man so I don't have time to fukk around and complain like a bytch.

Everything you said is spot on and i agree with u fully... but what u gon do, thats the world we live in. Complaining aint gon change a thing cuz the world is unfair.

Poor people aren't considered people to those at the top. They're just slaves being exploited and the people at the top bending the rules for each others benefit.

What we gon do? Work smart to get to the top then keep the wealth amongst ourselves.

What is going to happen is sooner or later all the wack baby boomers who were the drug addicts, adulterers, miscreants etc.
Who hid their hands and perpetrated all this are going to be phased out.
As they are the deflection artists, drug users, fiends, white collar criminals who did all this shyt and deflect it on to generation x and later wrongly.
The problem is the old cluck ass baby boomers who did everything evil under the sun and hide their hands and blame all the issues on everyone but their guilty hands.

I am sick of these old ass simp ass close to forty five and old weak motherfukkers.
Trying to act like they raised their homes right or were this forthright group.
When they are the ones who are status cluck drug built and ruined everything.
They are the degenerate crack heads and lazy bytches they try to say every other Gen is.
I grow sick and tired of them blaming every one else and deflecting when they are the issue.
Plus, perpetrated the reasons why we are where are now.

You must not have really dealt with poverty in this age at all.
There is no more dollars and change on the spreadsheet.
Plus, real talk hustling there is no more in the bag to profit off of either.
All the avenues are dead from making money because baby boomers are covering how they ruined this country.
As you can only do what a country allows you to do.
Noe, they systematically can get the most profit for everything.
Now, they are gonna start selling guns and dope again on some new cold war shyt.

These baby boomer motherfukkers ain't shyt and I can't wait till they simp ass all croak and die.

fukk the baby boomers,....they are the dope fiends and malcontents.
who hide their hands and blame everything else.
other than their purposeful works to hurt society to make a dollar.
