Real shyt tho if you made 1 mill from illegal activities.

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Would you try to invest it in legitimate businesses and walk away from the game or would you try and see how far you could push the hustle?

There seems to be something addictive about fast money. The downfall of a lot of these kingpins seems to come from the fact that they just cant resist pushing the bar further

A lot of OGs did just that.....

 

[prince_peoples]

Trying to wash that money is how alot of guys get caught up.

Dude there are a ton of legit business you can start to invest your money over time

Most nikkas get caught up because someone told on them.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

A MILLION ISN'T TOO MUCH TO WALK AWAY FROM. IT WASN'T IN THE 90'S AND IT DEFINITELY AIN'T THESE DAYS.

Depend on where you lived.... but it most def was in the 80s

Bottom line

 

[L&HH]

What's 250k

What's 1 million?

That really ain't no money for you to just walk away.

You can barely buy a house for 250k

Those amounts are more than enough money for me to walk away from illegal shyt. I never said I wasn't going to work again for the rest of my life or not be involved in other legal hustles just wouldn't be doing the illegal shyt.

I HADN'T CONSIDERED ONE THING. THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TOOK TO GET THAT 1MIL. IF YOU DOING 1 MIL IN 6 MONTHS TIME(PULLED THIS NUMBER OUT OF MY ASS) VS. 2-3 YEARS, THE VOLUME OF DRUGS YOU'RE WORKING WITH IS WAY DIFFERENT.

 

[Splakavellie504]

Most street nikkas dont know shyt about how to properly invest their money. So when they leave the streets and think shyt gonna be sweet on the other side, they be in for a rude awakening. The game dont end in the streets. Word to Stringer Bell.

Yup..... You had working nikkas that had links where they would just be patient and flip something 2 to 3 times a year..... and make like 20 grand a pop..... shyt would go on as long as the situation was good.... maybe 5 years max... but it you stacked your bread properly... you had 250k or more to work with... worst case you could pay your kids college tuition.... best case you found another hustle/legit business to invest that 250k in that would net 7 figures sooner than later..... Then you had the professional college educated OGs in the 70s that were ahead of the curb.... these were the first semi big time corporate nikkas that knew how to finesse a lot of product under the radar... they were black white collar cats... bankers, accountants, lawyers, businessman,, etc.... this was when you could literally create your own paper trail if you knew how

 

[murksiderock]

like @Jasonmask said BOTH

a million truly isn't enough in the game

it wasn't even back then when the dope game was in its prime in the 90s

i knew of a couple of cats whom made a "million" in the dope game i met whom were trying to promote thier music label ventures

and it was clear that they could not in most cases NEVER give up that stream of revenue...

simply because they had a team to take care of and in many cases like the last cat i talked to on that level was taking SEVERE LOSSES he had to make up to his connects (plugs)

so basically if you making a MILLION in the game...you in too deep to just walk away...you are an asset to your suppliers

especially if they fronting you the work

Bro you're crazy....

If we're asking what cats should be doing, cats should be cashing out at 100 grand. If you have 100 bills of your own bread accessible to you, meaning you owe nothing, that's well more than enough to retire off and flip into a more than respectable life in the vast majority of the United States....

If you live in one of these high COL places (and keep in mind I'm from California saying this), you can cash out by $250 and be as good as someone in a lower COL exiting at $100...

Anybody who says a mil ain't enough is addicted to greed and the hustle, or really doesn't know the game from a foot-on-ground perspective. Aint no in between there...

I walked away in January 2017 with almost $25k put up, with no extensive plan afterwards. I was a mid-level dealer, and nikkas on here really underestimate a)how much money cats bank, and b)how difficult it is to sustain large bread the higher amount of money you make...

I'm 30 years old, so in January 2017 I was 27. I can talk about dealing in the '00s and '10s is about, I wasnt around pre-2004 to talk about it, but what I do know is it was easier to make large money in previous generations. The '00s was easier than the '10s, the '90s was easier than the '00s, the '80s was easier than the '90s, etc...

Cumulatively, I touched a lot of money selling drugs from the time I was 15 to when I was 27, but I never had $100k of my own money at any point. If I had $100k, the rush of the hustle woulda made it difficult to walk away, but it was hard to walk away at $25k (and I've had a more than that several times). So of course it's harder to walk away the more bread you have...

But it's a complete lie saying a million isn't enough to walk away...

A MILLION ISN'T TOO MUCH TO WALK AWAY FROM. IT WASN'T IN THE 90'S AND IT DEFINITELY AIN'T THESE DAYS.

Most people barely got $100 in they savings and living pay check to pay check.

$1 Million is a lot and considering you could get yo top blown off at anytime or do 30 behind bars, that $1,000,000 looks very convincing. I'm taking it and dropping out the game. Make the right moves you'll never have to work again. If you have to work like 30 hours a week.

I wouldn't start up a business because it's something that can fail. Getting into rap is hard as fukk too. Your best bet would be to buy a couple of multi property homes and rent them out.

Let's say 2-3 years, most dudes ain't out there like that to be pulling $1,000,000 in 2 months

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

If you buy a house with cheap property taxes and just pay it off. shyt, you should good. Most people have to work because of bills and living expenses in general. What's one thing retired people do? They pay off the house.

If yo property taxes only $200/month + $150 utilities then you don't gotta work like to that.

YEAH THAT'S WHY I WAS SAYING THAT I WAS PULLING THOSE NUMBERS OUT OF MY ASS. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMPARISON WITHOUT TRYING TO ACT LIKE I KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THE DRUG GAME.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

I mean with 500k you could potentially buy some houses in smaller towns and rent them out or put it into stocks. With the right investments that 500k could become 1 mill in a couple years could it not?

 

[CoryMack]

By the time you get to that level ain’t no walking away. Even to a hundred thousand. It takes time to get there, and plenty of losses along the way. So by the time you get there you’re not only used to the money but the lifestyle and have most likely already done a minor bid or two.
