Stop with this "it's all in your head" nonsense.

Do not insult my intelligence.

$10,000 cash ain't some small thing. $10,000 amongst a family of people ain't some small thing.

And this is what she was leaving out;

Ya'll still think we're where we're at because we don't work smart/hard enough.

Start here;

The wig business and the explosion of the wig business in South Korea in the 1960s is instrumental to understanding the Korean ownership of beauty supply stores. According to the book “On My Own: Korean Businesses and Race Relations in America”, the rise of the YH Trade wig manufacturing company was significant. Founder Yung Ho Chang, conceived the idea of the company while working as the vice-director of Korean Trade Promotion Corporation in the U.S. Between 1965 and 1978, his company exported $100 million worth of wigs.

you want to put up hurdles and barriers. you go ahead n do that.

I don't really vibe with people that start talking about what they can't do instead of can when presented with ideas or opportunity.

I seen this mentality clear on here for years. whatever ideas or scenarios are proposed, the first thing some of you do is shut them down and predict failure. that's definitely a state of mind. you can look at this thread and see who's on that tip, can't say it surprises me it's the same posters that stay mad.

Some of us do it, but more of us need to start.

If anyone is on the “money” part of Twitter or Instagram, they got some really dope people to follow who drop gems. I found some of my group on there.

We gotta change the narrative, y’all. For me it was learning the basics of credit, accounting and strategy once you get the money. It’s out here brehs

Literally killing the energy to make money and instead replacing with bitterness...

Not having children out of wedlock is important as well, and those immigrants get married, and that helps financially as well.

We have brehs on here talking about GMB. Marriage can be two adults working together to build, but we want to focus on the negative potential.

We also have parents kicking their kids out, and they get jobs and apartments, and don’t save enough to purchase homes. Then when they start working full time and make some decent money, here comes the new cars, and watches, and the $400 weaves, the nails, the Jordans, and going out every week.

Meanwhile, those Asians are working at their stores on the weekend.

We tend to value short term gratification over long term consequences.

$30 a month on gym membership, but no insurance policies, or property to pass down to children.

How many brehs get a significant amount of money garnished for child support? That makes it even more difficult to save. But hey, keep nutting raw.

:unimpressed:

Yeah, there are a lot of factors that contributed to the current state of the black community, but a lot of things can be solved by us, and not the government.

There have been threads about black businesses having bad customer service, and that may be true sometimes, but what other group of people would ever stop supporting their own? Nobody else gives up on their own people.

Not really, I know guys who have gym memberships and divorced(not all women go for child support on paper, and even if they do) and still manage to pool money. Lets not add extra excuses or contrary agendas.

Good post.

The issue starts and ends with the family unit and ending the cycle of out of wedlock children.

This is still saying the same thing with no detail on how the money is obtained or where the money comes from to prop the business up until it is profitable. My point being if you don't have a significant source of stable income within your community how do you get the resources to do this?

An example I witnessed first hand at my job. A black technician is working two jobs the one at the pharmacy where we work and a second cleaning schools at night just to pay rent living by herself with no kids. Even with two jobs she was barely making it. She recently got another job at a bank which pays more and decided to get an apartment with her sister. With her sister paying half the rent and the increased pay she would get from the new job she planned to quit both current jobs since she wouldn't need two. A week before she is supposed to leave she finds out her sister got fired from her job at Wal-Mart over accusations of her stealing a water bottle. Now they only have her income to rely on in the middle of this pandemic with very little job prospects. Now she can't quit her job like she planned and will essentially have to keep working all day long for the immediate future.
It’s called you work a regular job and save your money and live with family to keep your costs low like damn it isn’t rocket science.

It depends on income, and ambition. A man working a retail job isn’t going to have the same ability to save as a man with a better paying job. Plus, the retail employment (not retail ownership) may be a sign of not wanting better for himself.
