It seems like at every step of financial intelligence, there's a large group of black people telling you to do the opposite. Don't get married and benefit from dual income, tax breaks, etc. Don't go to school, despite decades worth of data showing people with degrees make more money than people without degrees. Don't work a 9-5, despite most of the upper income people in this country (doctors, attorneys, engineers, etc) working a 9-5. And the people advocating these positions the most vehemently are rarely successful. It's like a woman getting relationship advice from her bitter, single homegirl.

A lot of this has gotten worse since the pandemic and a lot of black people are running around acting like they can match dollars or investments with white people who have thousands of dollars in savings or leisure spending to pump into smart (or dumb) ideas. Just because someone took a W on bitcoin from investing early doesn't mean you're going to replicate that. A lot of black people lost insane amounts money on various bullshyt crypto products or scams. Money that could have gone towards education, index funds, etc. More than likely you are NOT going to get rich quick. That's not the fukking point of investing.
when this "housing flip" hustle crashes a lot of people will be left on their asses...

Many things can be true:

-EYL are/will be icons for how they’ve made investing and wealth cool

-If you follow their IG you do learn things for free. If not the info itself, it will trigger you to research more about a topic.

-It can be a great event but not provide the secret to life. It can just ‘be’.

-If this was any other ‘fest’ with worthless devil worshiping rappers y’all would gladly pay ”$200 :aicmon:

-As with any seminar, it’s not about the actual information it’s about the networking and motivation to see like-minded folk. White folk do this all the time. But y’all only complain here. That same double standard of hate that Jay was talking about in that tidal freestyle :mjpls:

-Never underestimate what access or knowledge other folk have. Ie I’ve seen 88 Keys speak and for ME its like ‘duh this ngga says obvious shyt’. But for others they need it. That’s this fest. ‘We’ may not need it but let others be motivated, b.

They are not going to tell you their way of trading, because if everybody starts doing it then the system flips, and they would just move to doing the opposite of the masses and never tell you anyway.

*Buys coli stock.

*Tells coli brehs to buy the coli stock and increase stock price

*Sell the stock and earn a profit

*Rinse and repeat

Earns money from the stock and from the monthly investment subscriptions

I think posters are referring to people paying money to learn something new rather than have rehashed info presented in a newer way.

It's why seminars for years have been seen as a scam as the ROI from people paying to learn vs what they actually earn is so lopsided. Even for the Trump ball gaggers on this site, remember that Trump University and Rich Dad, Poor Dad seminars were always under investigation and TU folded.

How is a concert experience the same thing as nikkas charging for the most basic and widely available financial knowledge

The speakers are all celebrities, scammers and nikkas making Money from their social media brand


Here’s one of the speakers advising people to make an sell online courses


You’re better off going to see Uzi

Imagine seeing this, and turning around and buying a course from him

Ya but this is basic principles. You gotta get rich quick and fast. We dont have time on our side. 3 years if you cant come up 100-250k then money aint for you.
The vast majority of people don't get rich and those who do, often don't do it fast at all.

Even the absolute top earners in the country ($150k and up) don't immediately start off rich.

These assumptions and beliefs about money and wealth are not grounded in reality.

There's more ways to make money than buying the stock and waiting for others to hop on. You understand that right?

who said anything about spoon feeding? There are plenty of specific tradeshows for various industries and you'd learn far more networking there

I'm just saying the point of going to conventions is to take away a contact, a resource, plan, etc. It doesn't matter how related your business is to your attendance, the point is to become inspired to pursue your interest. Not to get a pay out from going to your 'specific' convention. How would one differ from the other? It's all knowledge at the end of the day. It doesn't have to have rhythm to it. That's what I meant, just because a convention is 'specific' doesn't mean you're going to be successful. It's just to get out the house and learn something with others, doesn't matter how specific these conventions are.

Man all the shyt they were advertising at the conference was on the verge of collapsing

Turo, Airbnb, crypto :snoop:

Hey breh I am going to keep it 100 with you. Since covid youtube been like my background music since I been working from home since march 2020. I basically turn on youtube and listen to it in the background as I work. Youtube is like a radio to me.

So I am familiar with a lot of these youtube celebrities now. In saying that there are a lot and I mean a lot of scammers on there. These learn your leisure kats done had a few scammers on their platform telling folks all types of get rich and fraud scams. The problem is 70% of their stuff is legit, but then you got the 30% that is scammer shyt that they have their guests on there talking about.

But thats just not Learn you Leisure. Its like there is an entire scam lane being pushed online with this "generational wealth motto" that a lot of kats online be spitting.

The problem is mature folks like you and I can pick out the legit part of the conversation and ignore the scam part. But many people don't understand the difference.

One more thing. I don't know if this conference was free. But there is a lot of these financial/investment/building wealth conferences that scammers be running asking people to pay $1,000, $1,500, $2,000 or $$2,500 to attend some conference where they teach you how to invest or some bull shyt like that. I am like most these folks can barely pay their rent. They do not need to be paying thousands of dollars to attend a conference for someone to teach them to buy VOO ETF stock, invest in Doge coin at the ATH or to write a budget at home.

One of my wife's silly ass coworkers paid fukking $2,500 to attend one of these damn conferences and all they did was give them a motivational speech, tell them to open up an account for Robinhood and Coinbase. And invest in shyt that they use everyday....that shyt ain't worth $2,500 bucks......that is scammer shyt!!:snoop:.To top it off my wife said her coworker got crazy debt and was getting her student loans garnished before the deferment hit during covid.:snoop:
