Second time watching this episode and I still can't tell if his girl is trolling him or not.

Trolling hI'm about what? She's the only person on the show not living a fantasy life:
She has a job that pays. Earn doesn't.
She can support herself. Earn cant.
She has a home. Earn doesn't.
She has a better spot than paperboi.

Aside from Earns parents, Van is the only stable adult in the ENTIRE show. Earns boy pops bottles in the club, does 2 dollar tuesdays, then needs to take hos to happy hour, and get driven around cause he doesnt have a car.

Paperboi has to trap.

Earn just made 62 dollars in 2 weeks.

White guy being cheap
While Ern getting finessed..
Can't judge a book by its cover:mjlol:

See that's the layer of this show. Went right over my head.

We all wanna pretend we have money when we should be worrying about saving and doing what's smart.

That's what I'm saying. She knows he's broke but was getting expensive stuff and got on him for not tipping the waiter. It was like she was testing him to see how far he'd let her go.

Man I can't co-sign nikkas on that Earn shyt. :camby:

Got a friend just like that.

All that bs your preaching goes out the window when you have a kid. Your responsibility is to them and chasing a dream that only a VERY small portion of the population will ever see materialize can't encompass most of your time.

Imma keep it real, we have a lot of brothers who mean well but on that steeze.

If we want to keep it 100, this is the result of concepts like "you dont have to go to college" or dame dash lines like "I can't call a man my boss" or thinking 9 to 5s are for squares.

I think she believes he's breaking even, not bringing in 62 dollars a paycheck. She probably thinks this cause he spends his time smoking weed with his cousin and playing video games.

Broke cats like Earn don't realize that the fam shyts on em because of their lack of work ethic, not lack of funds. Everyone respects the "woke up at 4 to be home at midnight" story. If he was showing effort every day to find a better job, or working 2 jobs, and getting up before her, and busting his ass, she'd never say a thing to him about not being able to provide.

The one thing lazy ppl can't do is sleep in. God that's so enfuriating.
