This…..

This is why I don’t take low out the blue personal shots at people cuz you never know what’s going on in their life.

There are a few peeps I’ve spoken with in the DMs that go through some real shyt. Hell Ive been through real shyt.

And this place doesnt need to be a place where are now a bytch or hated on cuz you dont worship Kobe, WWE or etc.

People are going through some real shyt in their personal lives and places like Coli should be a place they can vent, laugh, or have some type of community that distracts them from their living hells


Shut your bytch ass up, you’re not slick cornball.

So the guy in the story didnt have any type of savings or investments or nothing like that???:dahell:
There are a lot of people making good money that live right at the edge, because they can't foresee losing their jobs or being out of one for a certain amount of time. Too many high earners spending every bit of money they get on things to stunt and keep up appearances.

It's always a good reminder on how fragile things can get so that way you can prepare better. Personally, I saved up for a years worth of expenses in case I lose my job.

Life can hit you hard. I was out of a job and in credit card debt because of the 08 financial crisis, so I know how quickly things can go bad. Luckily I was able to bounce back but it took a minute to get stable and get my credit score back up.
The worse thing you can do during the those hard times is think you can't improve.

I have an Accounting degree and a cushy corporate job in Finance. Over the years, I've made friends with everybody at the Home Depot up the street. If I lose my corporate job today, I'll be at Home Depot first thing in the morning applying for a job. fukk pride, I have a family to feed.

Be thankful?

How about just be smart and don't live above your means? You can make $500k/year, but if your bills are $500k/year :francis: He did it to himself.

Folks was living like the joneses with no plans of a rainy day.
:snoop: you...have got to be on the spectrum or something. Read the room big dawg thread aint even about that. He said he lost his job in 2022 and couldn't find another how do you know they didn't have an emergency fund and it just ran out? Some people have bad luck like that. The point is to be grateful of what you have

Lots of mid career executives can't find jobs in their fields after a down turn. They have the network, experience, and skill set, but the hiring types are looking at younger people with lower salary requirements and less likely to get sick.

Plus when you're older its harder. Like if you're a 55 year old manager and get laid off. Odds are you will never find a job that good again . Companies do age discriminate.

In your late 40s you have to take almost any decent job

Nobody GAF about late 40's through late 70s (thinking of the folks that need jobs and can't really get more than Uber Driver/Wal-Mart Greeter) - but I keep feeling that there's gotta be some type of untapped resource with people with that much accumulated knowledge. (I also feel that way when I see all these boys hanging out around my neighborhood, as well as entire nation states)

Cause if the company is paying you 120,000 a year - they're making at least 360K off your labor.

This is why I never make fun of people’s situations. You never know where life will take you I’m sure Diddy never thought he would be in a jail cell the lowest of the low with a person that was successful and taking advantage. I hope they get back on the feet and this is just a rough season which we all go through at some point be it with losing a job, losing a loved one or even yourself and about to lose your life.
It's also why I never complain about my situation. I learned that no matter how bad i think i have it, there is someone who wishes they had only what i got
