Funny thing about it is I got the most p*ssy when I was making under 30k

If that's more than 2 years ago, that is irrelevant.
Inflation is running wild right now.

30k was a decent wage in 2012. We are in 2023 now.

I legit known dudes who were making that much and they still had no problems dating at all, granted their women didn’t look anything special but still.

CPI Inflation Calculator

Brehs on here need to hit the inflation calculator.

The value of $30k in January of 2020 was equivalent to $34,515.16 in December of 2022.


Y'all need to realize that the value of these dollars keeps on decreasing with time and adjust your thinking ASAP.

My first job in 2003 paid $37k, I guess in todays money though that’s closer to $50k.

It's actually closer to $60k.

 

[sayyestothis]

Who makes 30k anymore??? Doesn't target pay like 16 an hour now?

I couldn't date in 2020s...glad I'm married

It’s can be very much real yet not optimal for the life people want to lead.

I like how this is worded!! $30k is not providing optimal living. I want to live optimal.

They're the main ones fukking because they need that change. They just need to be take agency of contraception.

Men fukking broke women should take agency! They have the most to lose. Stop trying to convince women you don’t want kids while fukking raw. It’s no longer believable.

@OfTheCross @Matt504 We discussed black earnings in the HL sever last month @Serious, not sure if you saw that. It left me floored. I think this convo has to be framed a certain way because nearly half of working-age black people make less than 30k sooooo . Is this simply “broke boi/chick” behavior or is something bigger going on? Here are some excerpts from an article Matt posted:

The annual median wage of all U.S. workers is about $42,000, 43% of Black workers earn less than $30,000 per year, highlighting how they are overrepresented in low-paying jobs.

The median Black household has a net worth of about $24,000, or about one-eighth the figure of $188,000 for white households.

“Shockingly, the percentage of Black American homeownership is lower today in America than when the Fair Housing Act was passed more than 50 years ago,” stated President Joe Biden at speech commemorating the 100th anniversary of the massacre of Blacks in Tulsa, Okla.

Black Americans Earn 30% Less Than White Americans, While Black Households Have Just One-Eighth Wealth Of White Households

Blacks are overrepresented in low-paying jobs with little chances of advancement.

Same here.

Focus was getting p*ssy, now its about making more money and less headaches.

Also consider this it's nothing at 21 to drive to the LBC to smash a chick, coming from the valley, on a Wednesday night.

Now even though, I wfh, I ain't doing that shyt.

That's what I trying get at.

Something isn't adding up here.

Because most black people in the US, don't make north of 50k, let alone, 30K, which is at least $15 an hour, yet on the coli, everyone is somehow thumbing their nose up.

Most jobs around me pays $18/hr which is almost 38k. These are warehouse gigs that only need a HS education. Some are up to around 22/hr which is 46k. I don't get why people still working at retail and fast food spots making little money.

I’m not even going to go there. I’m willing to consider there’s a certain type of person who seeks out a forum in 2023 (a bit technically inclined) so there could be some self selection bias to account for. But yea it is curious that everyone here owns a yacht and Bentley .

Even before I finished school, just working a dead end job, I made more than 30k. It doesn’t make sense and one of the things Cross suggested is that it’s because people aren’t working full time or are underemployed. Another thing to consider is that we’re overrepresented in certain industry/sectors.

30k as a fulltime salary is less than 15 an hr

15 an hr for fulltime hrs is 31k
