No amount of budgeting and not eating out is going to make up for the fact that we don't make enough money.

[Serious]

People be like work harder get 3 jobs eat noodles etc while upper management at your company is getting paid to do jack shyt and lay nikkas off making 5-10x as much as you.



Yall some bootlicking dikksuckers fr on here got to be some of the most out of touch black people on the internet

So what's the solution for many complain, and make 40k, and hope people are more sympathetic.

Or figure out ways to increase income and manage money, in order to create your own path way.

Relief from the government, isn't what people expect.

Here's a gas tax relief bill that just passed in California:

Newsom signs state budget bills, with gas refunds to 17.5 million California taxpayers

The new $307.9-billion budget includes $9.5 billion in gas refunds, $1.4 billion in utility payment assistance and funding to combat climate change, among other items.

Most people are eligible for $350.

Gas prices are high NOW, the funds won't be distributed until October. Some people may not get the relief funds until January next year.

The problem is people need help NOW.


And what really is $350 going do in the long run.

This is what happens when you wait for the government to take action. Too much time passes and people are already forced to adjust.

Well, now that the global market is becoming more competitive against the dollar I don’t think we getting any price relief anything soon, so if you not making the money u need now probably should focus on getting them skills up cause shyt going to get worse before it gets better
And about budgeting I grew up poor so I know how to make shyt stretch, start meal prepping and cut down on portion size
This ain’t going to solve all yo problems but I would imagine it helps somewhat

 

[Gritsngravy]

And to keep it a hunnit, we really needed a widespread infrastructure bill, but I guess it’s more important to go to war with China for the global economy and have the citizens pay the bill,
I think we at an inflection point as American citizens, we have to make a choice are we going to let the powers that be and the crown destroy us or are we going to swing the pendulum back into more of a balance

Didn't someone post a thread saying the average black household makes 45k a year?
I can imagine someone making that much is either struggling to stay afloat or starting to get into debt.
Even if they can pay bills now, they need to account for the cost of living increasing in the future.

The average Black household only makes 40k a year as of June 2022

 

[egsteel]

I've worked two jobs for about a year to get my shyt together years ago. It works. The problem is a lot of people don't know or have a long term plan for their life. So when you suggest working two jobs, they immediately think its permanent when it's not.

Exactly. These new breeds have no real goals in life. They expect it to just be handed to them. So working hard(standing for several hours and not allowed to use phone) is like Chinese water torture.

household or single income?

 

[MJ Truth]

And a lot of them will be right back to check to check status once they switch back to one job

Because they’re hustling backwards. When you take on multiple jobs you have to have a PLAN for what you’re doing with the money that will actually improve your life later.

 

[MJ Truth]

Pretty sure it’s household.

To be fair even gen x'ers and boomers are often glued to their phones too now

Didn’t we just have a thread about a guy crying in his car because he hated his job last week?

 

[Sad Bunny]

I hear ya, but the sooner people to realization that no one is coming to save / bail you out, you gotta move accordingly.

What good is the woe is me mentality going do. Especially when you see people getting it.

America might not be perfect, but I've traveled places, where there wasn't a fraction of potential or opportunity for people to make something of themselves.

People try to immigrate to this country with nothing, for a reason. There's the potential to make something of yourself.

If you can work two or 3 jobs and save then do it. It's a temporary grind. But can and is done all the time.

In other countries people couldn't even work if they tried.

@OfTheCross

This. I understand the USA is fukked up but you got to save yourself. People really been blowing that student loan payment money over these past few years instead of saving or paying off their interest-free loans. Then they’re gonna cry about Biden not paying them off for them.

 

[Sad Bunny]

Imagine being a grown as a man crying on social media about your job. He clearly don’t got that hustlers mentality if he’s crying like a bytch online

He should get a better job or get educated

 

[feelosofer]

The cost of living has gone up astronomically in the past 3 years. Wages haven't. But of course the blame goes to the proletariat and not the system that took advantage of people during the pandemic.

I just walked out the supermarket paying 5.99 for a box of fukking corn flakes.

One of my clients spent $1,000 a month on Uber eats. Uber eats and these apps have actually made eating out even more draining.


I had another client who would buy 3 meals a day - breakfast, lunch and dinner and she bought these meals with no care so if her red lobster lunch cost $45 she was swiping her credit card

When you dedicate your time to grocery shopping and preparing your meals nonense like this is avoidable

Now add to the fact she does this on weekends too and she celebrate birthdays parties and brunch which is another food debt

Broke people aren’t just not spending 1k on Uber eats, they literally can’t. If your client could do that without you supposedly having to
tell her this was financially bad, her ass was far from broke

@Serious when do you think the recession will hit and how long will it last?
