Didn't look at the math too closely, but I figured that $500-$600 a day for 5-6 months woulda had you over 50K.


To the OP, I feel this right now as I look back on 2019: “naw this aint it champ”
No it was only on Saturdays and Sundays plus Fourth of July was a HUGE money day ditto with Memorial and labor day.

Edit: just in case yall wanna know which company I drove for .

Semi Long thread:

I was broke, flabby, unemployed, no skills and qualifications whatsoever and on welfare.

The breaking point was when my extremely successful sister got married and she had to buy me a suit because I lied to her that I had one. It was a last minute suit too so it wasn’t tailored and was baggy. The wedding guests included a lot of her successful friends arriving in their Mercedes etc whilst I arrived in a taxi in my baggy suit. Since I was family I had to walk in the church in my baggy suits, overweight in front of hundreds of guests with my head bowed. I knew I had to drastically change my life :wow:

That was in 2010 and 9yrs later I’m a senior Chemical Engineer at my firm and at my brother’s wedding this year I arrived in my BMW, tailored Armani suit and the best man walking across the church aisle like :takedat:
:wow:that come up

Almost could've gotten killed today fukk nikkas showed up at my door step ready to put the burner on me talking about come outside bullshyt.

Good luck to myself for ridding those rodents today because I said some slick shyt but lord knows I need another heat soon so who knows if they will be back. Man, I hate being challenged by death daily.

I'm ignoring all the negativity around me till it's forced to reveal itself in the open.

Right. Fukkin. Now...

I vowed never to step one more foot in NYC for the rest of my life, yet I let my mom talk me into coming back to bum-ass Brooklyn to spend the holidays with family I don't want to be around. Currently laying down on a couch, dying to head back to the Midwest, replying to this thread with this particular thought racing through my misery-laden head:

"Naw this aint it champ”

2007 and 2008 were rough for me. I was 17-18 years old, stopped believing in Yah, mom put me out, got arrested, was broke as shyt in Detroit. Surely the hardest/most difficult chapter in my life.

I was always smart, articulate, and ambitious, so I just kept grinding and started praying again and reading the Bible. I managed to graduate and was accepted to several good universities. Ended up going to community college, while working shytty ass jobs, and got a lot of help from my aunt/uncle, support from my girlfriend at the time. Rekindled things with my mother, moved back in, kept grinding and praying. Things got 1000x better for me in 2009 and beyond. It was due to prayer, ambition, blessings, endurance and just pure luck.

I think that it was a wake up call from Yah. I was going around saying that I was "agnostic" and "atheist". I truly stopped believing in The Most High and that was when things went completely down for me. I could have easily been another statistic stuck in Detroit. I took a lot of things for granted. Now I thank Yah every single day and my family (wife and kids) and I pray together every day. I pray that my fellow brothers and sisters also wise up, endure, and get out of their terrible circumstances, too.

It was mans guidance and wisdom through ancient texts that inspired you.

Got married in my mid 20s before I was ready and just wilded out. Got sloppy, got caught up and had to beg and fight to keep my family together.

shyt took years..

Yeah marriage ain't easy especially when you got kids and finances involved. It will always hurt no matter if you or her cheat. It's not good.

That's why Polight said Family is Business. Business always be taken seriously.
Got to know better for the next time to teach your sons some day feel me?

Currently in it. Working 2 gigs to pull myself out of a financial hole that I created. Reflecting on all of the missed opportunities, dumb decisions, and mistakes I've made. No longer a believer in God or Religion, my fam is upset about it but I don't give a fukk.


I have this internal battle going on every single day and I'm tired of fighting.:francis:

I was about 25...i had a job and my own place living in the hood(but hey i was on my own). In like a 5 week span i lost my job for no reason literally and my house was broken into while i was at work..they took my tv and about 9 pair of size 13 retro jordans.

I know who did it...i felt like murking them...in cali u only get 6 months unemployment...thats it so i make about 50% of what i was making...that runs out n these cacs raised my rent..

I knew it was gona be hard for me to get a job :mjpls:

I was diggn under my car seat for change to get 2 99cent tacos at jack n da box

I was watching taxi driver...living in the hood...i started having thought of robbing drug dealers and regular people but deep down i knew i would eventually get caught..i lost my place...moved into my moms..still didnt get a job for a year(i had interviews tho:mjpls:)

My last $2 i got a arizona mango juice n went to thrift store n found a stone cold steve austin biography..where he talks about being poor as a wrestler and was literally eating potatoes out of a bag as his only meal....that book really inspired me more...

Ive been working for 3+ years at my current job

Choose to not acknowledge/believe in a Higher Power if you want, and I will choose to believe what I want. If you believe that this intricate and advanced universe/reality was not created by something/someone, then that's on you. I'll always believe and have faith in the Elohim of Israel.

By the way, you sound like one of those Hipster White Liberals, or a guy who spends a lot time with them. Bernie supporter, huh?
