bytches are delusional
This.

Plus women will complain about everything. If the dude spends money on her wines and dines her alot she'll complain he doesn't "connect with her emotionally" enough... if he fukks her to sleep every time she'll complain he's not "spending enough time" with her outside the bedroom.

So basically no matter what you do there will ALWAYS be a problem as far as women are concerned.

Not one nikka in here with a woman can say his woman is happy and satisfied in all aspects of their relationship. And if he does say that he's a liar.

The main expense for everybody is housing.
Beyond that COL is really not that bad and you can control it more. When I was younger I went on multiple international trips a year and went out every weekend on around $50k salary. My rent was sub $1000 though. I know someone in NYC who lived the same quality of life on the same kind of salary so it's doable IF your housing situation is locked in
It's clown worthy but fukk it, if you live in expensive COL city look at alternative options like living further out or even roommates. Barely surviving off 100k is crazy

I live in a major city, but my housing cost is manageable because when I bought this house in 2015, house prices weren't crazy and I refinanced in 2021 when rates were at 3%.

if you can control your debts, then u can survive as a regular dude. I only have one debt, which is the mortgage. driving an older reliable car is also great as it eliminates paying a car note.

100k is not hard to EARN

the only people who think it is are people with ZERO skills/education/hustle


But to MAKE 100K means that you NET 100K

AFTER ALL EXPENSES (even the unexpected ones)


People who earn 100k...if you check they acct they might have 10k in it 2 days out the whole month and before payday its def under a rack

This is reality

the game has been the game but there are some women who have sense. Ie know the value of a dollar, want to budget and build etc

Then again im from the south, but i genuinely feel like there are regular women who are cute, who will hold you down.

just do your best to recognize the red flags. like in the OP, complaining about broke men when in reality not alot of black ppl got it like that...or got neck tattoos, got plastic surgery, etc

Lopsided in whose favor? 5% of BM make 100K or more compared to 3% of BW. Unfortunately, a lot of BW aren’t attracted to the majority of those men for various reasons until they hit that wall, friend.
Based on income the majority of these men are over 45, with an even higher concentration over 55.

I’m not sure why that’s not well-recognized. Young, high earning Black men absolutely get play from BW their age - anyone saying otherwise is a goddamn liar.

dual-income households are the key to comfortable survival in the states in 2023, and have been for some time.

Whether that is living with your spouse, a partner, a roommate, or siblings - there’s no reason not to split your expenses *at least* two ways
We definitely have to spread this knowledge more. Especially in this economy. It's madness that people think they're going to make it on their own then build a comfortable life with a partner.
