Can you older brehs gives us gems for adulthood & beyond?
Stop giving a fukk about what other people think about you or your interests. Pursue your interests and hobbies as early as possible and don't wait to make that shyt a mid-life crisis type of thing.
Operate as if you have no support system. Don't count on people just being there when you are in a jam.

Get your credit score up to about 800 then get major credit card and start buying property with it. Get a fixer upper then sell it and pay off that credit card rinse a repeat. Then you can retired in your mid 30s with a nice amount of money.
You’re right, cant give up just cause you are in your 30s. I’m still struggling now, so got that warrior mentality at the moment but I know I gotta keep trying.

so this were u dudes went
find a woman that has a ounce of maturity. if she is trying to keep up with the joneses talking that i dont want to be coup up in the house, at some kick back every other day, she more for fun, you want a woman with ambition focus and direction. she will keep you focused on your goals. playing around with women who want to go on vacay all the time but always late on they rent, will have you 30-40 years old unstable.
children happen, but plan the best you can for them, and if it does happen to happen, set up accounts for your children and goals for your kids while they young.
avoid debt at all cost. when you young try to buy your cars cash. stay away from notes if you can.
avoid having too many credit cards.
pay your tickets. this one is so important. they never leave. you will find yourself 35 years old in court dealing with a traffic ticket from 13 years ago. just pay the ticket. make it a priority to pay all tickets.
learn to let people go. as you get older and you get things in order for yourself, many around you will be still acting like they in high school. some people you can carry on your journey with you, many people you will have to learn to love from a distance.
your family business is your family business. not your mothers or fathers, not your best friends, not your siblings. your business. always have a part of your family that is secluded for only you and your partner. nobody outside of you 2 should ever know everything that is going on with you.
make legacy important. keep your bloodline pure. black people need to start getting back to the importance of their family name. that pride passes down to your children then your grandchildren and comes with a responsibility. i worked hard to be self employed and teach my kids at a certain level, because i had a no nonsense grandfather from mississippi who couldnt read or write but still owned his own home, owned a building with residents and owned a gas station. all of these things outside of the house is now outside of the family because none of the family made legacy important and only cared about their own selfish needs. when you build wealth, assets, land etc, this should be built with the expectation that this will be within your family for decades to come.
always give back. charity heals. charity keeps you balanced and develops great character.

Yes early 20s. Girls don't want to fukk in cars at this age. I gotta get this paper.Early 20’s?! Maaaan if you don’t go somewhere and have some fun
after high school we’re working until we die man, enjoy those good healthy years
If you do drugs and drink, don’t do it to excess too
I thought lease was another word for used lolWhat? No you don't buy a new car or lease, you buy a used car that is reliable, especially for a young buck with a low credit score and driving history.

If you want to buy one make sure you can afford two.
Most likely because he might assume that in your 30s you have to settle down and have kids.
But in all honesty, your 30s cam be like your 20s of you want it to be.
No one says you have to have more responsibilities when you get older.
You can still take your time to still fix your life.
Only thing is to still keep hope things will get better.
That's the biggest problem.

career wise:
Be dependable. Do your work in a way that people remember. No shortcuts. This will inevitably lead to more/greater opportunities. It's really that simply.
Think about the last person that you hired to do something for you. Doesn't matter what it is - someone who detailed/fixed your car, gave u a massage, or did some work at your house. Think about how different your outlook is on them if they just met your expectations or exceeded them.
When someone exceeds your expectations, subconsciously you will WANT to look out for them. You will actually think about how you can help them. And when an opportunity presents itself when you can do so, you'll go the extra distance to help them (whether thru new clients etc).
A lot of times, professionally we hold ourselves back b/c we think that so long as we're as good as the next man/woman, you're safe. Even worse, some people think they have extra leeway because they are minority/woman and they think the company will be less likely to get rid of them etc.
Demonstrate excellence, no matter what career you find yourself in, and you'll always have money in the bank and food in your stomach.

If you figure women out now you gonna save yourself a million headaches
They do not think like us. Do not spend time trying to explain your calculations to them. They operate only on how they feel about this or that.
So like if you want to drive somewhere and you know the shorter way, but she wants to go the longer way: your explaining to her the math on why youre right will not be of any use.
In fact, you will be happier if you just shut up and go the long way.
When they shop they look at everything in the store. So take an ebook with you.
Learn how to make her cum and learn how to hold your cum until she's totally cummed out. This will make her stick with you no matter what. Most guys leave the woman unsatisfied (it takes more than one orgasm to satisfy most women. Just cause.you make her cum once doesn't mean you're finished).

nikkas that say they love you will let their jealousy over p*ssy destroy any love they said they had for you. Dude I grew up with almost got me killed because he was jealous over a woman. Twin sisters and the one he was fukking with didn’t feel him like that, while me and the other were rollin right along. I’ve had to deal with jealousy over women all my life, but this was a nikka I literally grew up with.
Money, same thing. All that Brotherhood and love goes out the window with most nikkas when you mix money into what y’all are doing.
Police interactions, you can tell something about people by how they react when dealing with the laws, even in minor shyt, but it’s my experience that most people fold under any real threat of legal pressure. No different than you and your friends in school in trouble back in the day and y’all in the principals office getting called in one by one, and everyone knows who the weak link is. That doesn’t really change as you get older.
Watch how people react in those three areas and it’ll give you some idea of who they are as a person.
