Hate to be that dude but y'all not accounting for all the scammers, drug dealers and such. Most dudes I grew up with got more money than me and they not working any 9-5

This is true.Most niccaz I know who live "high on the hog", they don't even have jobs!!

 

[UpAndComing]

Na u ahead of the game. Pay it no mind stay on your grind. With your skill this won’t be u.

Exactly, I was trolling though

Us skilled trade brehs eating good. But nikkas don't wanna listen and still wanna break out of their comfort zone

Why would CNAs die early?

Think he meant all the overtime will kill yo ass early


Anywhoo i doubt the number is THAT much higher but i would like to see what it looks like if u chop the younger kids out

 

[OnFleekTing]

I mean damn that's bad
there are definitely fields out there that pay well though and don't even require you to have a degree or cert
I mean I know people who are banquet servers and they make close to 50-90k a year. The hours are terrible and the work is hard af but if you are young you can't beat that income with just a high school diploma

What percentage of these are brehs who make nothing at all?

I grew up in Philadelphia literally on the county line. Cheltenham was right across the street. To make a long story short: cheltenham is not the same cheltenham I knew as a kid. The cheltenham high school that the Israeli prime minister went to is not the cheltenham high school that exists today. And that’s by design.

George W Bush used to live in Compton as a child when it was all white. Damn near every hood in America with actual houses used to be a middle class all white neighborhood. Why do you think so many Cali hoods look like the suburbs, because they literally were the suburbs a few decades ago and Cali's mild weather doesn't take a toll on unkept houses in the hood like it does on the East Coast and especially the Midwest.

What kills me about this thread is that if you actually think black folks are doing so well, then why does young black America worship Jay-Z and Pac and have current superstars like Tee Grizzley, YG and Kodak Black being the faces of the culture? Look at their life stories. Were they 6 Cert brehs? fukk no. College is even in Tee Grizzley life story, but it's more of the fact that he was hitting licks in college because he was too broke to pay attention. If black America were as upper middle class as the Coli makes it seem, we would have more Theo Huxtables spearheading the culture. Kanye who didn't drop out of college rapping about TPS reports and shyt.

I do not think they were talking about people who were unemployed.

If you’re working 16 hours a day 5 times a week, you’re probably not living a healthy lifestyle. Let’s put it this way: I have 3 aunts who were nurses. All of them had strokes in their late 40s and didn’t make it past 55. They left their children millions but that’s whatever.

I have stated a couple times on this forum that I’m a nurse and I bang out a couple doubles a week. Same pace. But atleast I’m eating and taking better care of myself than my aunts.

As for the CNA: poor people die early.

Reparations needs to be everyone's primary focus until we get it.

I won't get any but I support yankee reparations

After your first job, nobody's cares or even ask about your GPA.

Take the lowball job first because your GPA sucked, work there for 3 years, and bounce to a better paying job.

Even the people with high grades did that.

Yep the best time to do a job search is when you already have a job.

It’s no such thing as we when it comes to money in America. Also not everyone has the same hustle or financial goals.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

What percentage of these are brehs who make nothing at all?

0%

It's only including those who reported income in 2014.

Not when the mindset that the black experience is only struggle. A Theo huxtaable type is going to be labeled a sellout or white acting
