I had two separate runs where I made some nice change, when I was 20-21, and when I was 26-27. The first run was surrounded by going in and outta jail and different beefs and issues that caused me to duck out at times, which slowed my earning potential. The second run I coulda probably hit the milestone but the impending birth of my first child caused me to reevaluate and eventually change from that lifestyle...
I was weed, pills, and gun guy. I had an opportunity once to jump on running heroin from Sac, one of my cousins was involved with running out to Baltimore. H wasn't my thing. Earlier on me and a homie of mine from Oakland were pulling ecstasy out to to NC, that was a lucrative flip, but between the jail and beef shyt I mentioned and at the time the chick I was with was bleeding my pockets, that slowed. And that was my early 20s, really at that time I didn't have an endgame or a dollar amount, I was just blind hustling. That was more I was in the typical mindstate of make whatever I could to eat but I didn't expect to be alive long like most people running around...
The $100k idea didn't become a thing until I got outta jail in March 2015 in Charlotte, I was 25 going on 26 and just got off an attempted murder. Sat in the jail for 9 months fighting that, and when I first got out I was low for awhile. Then I started pulling weed out this way and that was when I was in my zone on the $100k. Found out in June 2016 I would be a father and it slowly started affecting my thoughts and actions, and the last flip I made was in January 2017 and I was able to back out completely...
I mentioned this on here in the past, when I backed out in January '17 I was sitting on around $35k, my daughter was born February 28. I was able to sit and figure out what I wanted my next steps to be but that money went faster than I thought, obviously when I was dealing I had expenses and people I was responsible for like anyone else. My profits of course I made more than $100k all the time I spent outside but I'd never had as much money saved as when I backed out, plus it ain't like I was ever on some kingpin shyt. Just a brother who had some consistent loads a couple different times...
