At least she gave him a shot knowing he didnt make much going in.:manny:

BTW, how old is he to be living in NY and making less than $50K :what: :what: :what:
I thought the average fast-food employee in NY was raking in $50K because of the cost of living up there. What does he do?
Personally, i dont have specific number for my woman to be making. But i do require that you are able to support yourself. That nonsense of asking me to borrow money every other month will not fly. I hear cats that deal with this and wonder how they got with these brawds in the first place. I've dated rich chicks that make $300K+ a year and broke chicks making $12/hr.
All that i require is you be self sustaining and we're good.:hubie:

Exactly the first thing i thought reading OP

If he lives in NY he has t pay them high ass taxes so im sure it's even less

I doubt it. All I will say he is in the driving industry (not taxi or Uber)

Your brother is too broke for marriage...WTF was he thinking

Im guessing being in Love which means he wasn't thinking.

Your brother has two choices get a second job to keep his marriage, or get a second job to stay ahead of the bread line after the alimony payments :heh:

:francis: shyt is sad. Brehs just wanted to be happy. Now a child is in the mix.

Not enough info but if she’s hitting him with ultimatums like that then dude has shown bytch energy around her for her to talk to him like that. I’d be damned if a woman told me some shyt like that!

She probably cheating on him on the low too. Does she work? She one of them I got a degree type chicks?

Not that I know of but keep in mind she is a Jamaican chick born in NY. She will communicate whatever she feels while testinf your manhood with an attitude. This year she will get a promotion jumping her salary to 80k-100k(she works with kids).

On some real shyt, why the fukk do nikkas seed up women and then get mad or surprised they have to support that woman and the kid? They don’t know the routine by now?

:gucci:

I’m not with abusing the system and overly high cs, but when you make a baby, you know what’s coming next. nikkas gotta stop thinking with their dikks and listening to “cum inside me”.

:snoop:

He’s fukked either way, but on some personal goals shyt, the minimum in any state you should WANT to make, regardless of cost of living, is 6 figures. Just as a man you should want to do as well as you can financially.

Funny thing is I habitually reiterate what you stated on how nikkas make stupid decisions but since it's bro... Hindsight is 20/20. If it was that easy nobody would have a baby momma or been divorced.

If she said anything to the effect of wanting to break up he might as well save some time and go ahead and part

Cause that don't heal. You just end up wasting years

I always assumed the average NYer was taking in about $80K+ a year just to keep up with the cost of living because when they move down south they usually complain about the pay being lower while they are way more than happy for the lower cost of living

If She knew how much he was making when they met and had a kid together, and it was good enough for her then, then its unfair for her to change her expectations now.

her expectations changed as she made more... when I got married in 1999 I was making 21k and my wife around 0 until shse started working in 00 and made around 25k..
fast forward.. and she got raises.. I got raises.. its not a competition but we need to both be on the upward movement.. if years later she at 100 and I'm still around 30. ... its gonna be a problem.

cant split bills down the middle with a 2:1 income ratio... he'll be out and she'll still be living the life.. removing her from the will doesn't matter in Job pensions and IRAs.. by default they'll pay out 50% to the spouse unless the spouse declines.

Nah this 1000% on your brother, he’s a bum :manny:

Can’t get mad at a broad for wanting him to make half of what she’s making or plans to make. She is the right here on top of the fact your brother knew what he was getting into wit the bougee shyt to begin with

At least she came to him straight up, if he’s a fully functioning adult man then he should be making more than what he is in a world class city...

Or else that nikka stroke game better be on point along with keepin himself and the crib immaculate :manny:

How the wife look :patrice:

i feel you but IMO Couples should discuss long and short term plans before they get serious or have kids...You cant start a relationship with a fat chic... then complain about her weight...

More like $70k after taxes equals up to mid-upper 40k



This year "if things goes well" she will be bringing in $80k-100k. I'm assuming he is talking about a raise.



He just told me " the best he can do is 50k after I get my CDL" :francis:right now he is in the 35-40k area.

I told him to look into welding and electrician work. I know this nikka can do better. We have the same mother.
Especially with the motivation of losing your wife and kids.:damn:


I mean:patrice:.


I can say his mentality is a little different. I'm usually the one having to motivate him and make sure he is good. I've seen him break down real bad.. especially after a death in the famz. I can't judge it tho we had different up bringings:hubie:

First off bougie and 50k should even be in the same damn paragraph. It's not fukking bougie for you to want your BD to make a decent wage. 35k is what somebody working at McDonald's in NYC. He shouldn't have even married her being that damn broke.

He need to get a fukking trade orstart hustling NOW. You can't raise no kid off that bullshyt. The truth hurts but if yo girl really loves you she need to always be real with you. And yo brother tripping and one paycheck away from being a bum ass nikka

money has always and will always be a major cause of divorce.. their long term goals could've been OK until her job suddenly was twice his.. but he in NY .. my wife and I both at 100K each and it feels like its still not enough at times ... NYC sucks on that end
