I watched some of their videos not a big fan

the most basic and widely available financial knowledge

This is mighty pretentious. All knowledge of ALL things is readily available. That can actually make it harder to whittle down. There is value in having it curated.

Not to mention, there’s threads on here about people having a vice for buying watches, or nggas 30+ still buying J’s (me included), hell there’s a whole sub on cars. The ridiculous concept of financing a luxury car. A car is the most useless vanity purchase one can make and it will not add anything to your life. Yet nggas do it

So with all that in mind…imagine the audacity to chide people, as if every purchase you make is filling my your mind body and soul Chastising folk for going to Atlanta in the sumner to be around like minded folk and bad bytches.

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.

There were many articles talking about how black folks could build wealth with crypto even robinhood was running ads featuring black people like day trading was a way to build wealth. Alot of us probably got set back a generation or two with all this bullshyt.

pyramid scheme

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.

This is facts, everybody cant know or the system changes and the reason I like the Coli is because not a lot of traffic comes through here so brehs can drop jewels and its not picked up by the masses

 

[Positive Poster]

Weirdos in here talking about
“I’d rather see black people waste their money at these seminars than spending it on designer clothes and drill rap uzi vert concerts”

My my my, such a low opinion you have of us that those are the things you have as alternatives

Those are our main activities right?

 

[BushidoBrown]

Stopped fukking with these dudes after seeing them push clowns like 19Keys and Him500.

not gonna lie him500 sounds like the quintessential scammer/grifter name

STFU

 

[CrimsonTider]

It'll only get worse since most shyt is about clout. We got people bragging about having an LLC but having no products or employees. Bragging about passports but never been anywhere. Bragging about getting a 2016 BMW with a $700 car note. And the people on this wave are always the loudest and most belligerent about "money shyt" as you said. Always talking about flipping money, or going to conferences, or "hustling" or breakfast with Jay-Z memes.

The time spent faking it could have been spent building.

The grifters are doing the same

most of these nikkas speaking at this conference, finessed loans, built a brand on looking wealthy and now are selling courses, merch and speaking engagements

I looked up wall street trapper, him500, mr2weeks out, some JO nikka. They’re all scammers and they were the VIPs

 

[CrimsonTider]

That money flowing right back to other communities it's only going to touch some black hands before it does. These scammers want to live like rappers plus they need to spend to show that they live a certain lifestyle to keep more suckers coming in.

Nothing beats keeping wealth in communities like the slow and boring real estate and long term investing.

These nikkas living off credit and finessing desperate people

 

[levitate]

This a new WakeUpNow shyt?

 

[Piff Perkins]

These nikkas living off credit and finessing desperate people

Holy shyt.

 

[Standing on business]

Holy shyt.

Smh At half the clowns in here defending this shyt

 

[CrimsonTider]

Holy shyt.

He has his comments off too.


Same with that wallstreet trapper clown who is doing nothing but repeating news articles and selling merch and courses

These dudes are buying followers too
