Hood Rich >>>> Upper Middleclass

Dey Trollin'...

What are you complaining about exactly? I don'y get it, being rich?

Sounds to me like he's complaining about:

* Responsibility
* Growing up

You want freedom reduce your debts. cars, toys, loans ,credit cards you seem to have the income. You can't reverse time bro.

Wait... what? You lease 2 luxury cars? And it's only one of you?

First of all... I would never lease a car unless I absolutely have to, and I damn sure wouldn't lease 2. I'm gonna keep driving this 07 Honda Accord that's paid for until I get the money to get the car I want next (probably Audi A6 or Infiniti G27).

I refuse to pay $800 a month on a car that I really have no rights to, and that there's probably a limit to how much I can drive it in a given amount a time... especially since I travel a lot.

You all backwards my nig....

Nah breh, you wrong. Everybody don't give a fukk about owning a car (I'm one of those people). My next car, I'm leasing that bytch, cars are like toys to me and that's one expense (a car note) I don't mind paying, because I can (really don't have any other major bills beside student loans and mortgage). I'd rather get the latest whip, drive that bytch for 3 years and turn it back in when the major maintenance is due, and get me a new one. But to each its own...its strictly your preference, how your budget looking, and what matters to you. But hey, this may change if I get married and have kids

4 on 3 off shift work >>>>>> 60-80 hour corporate weeks.

at least with shift work, once you're off, you're off. in the corporate world, you're never truly off.

Word. My sis is a tax accountant for one of the big 4. I recall during the prevous tax season when shyt got busy, she must have worked like 25 days straight. Used to call me n my moms everyday crying on the phone. That aint life brehs.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Man, I just think nikkas need hobbies or some shyt to do.

Like if you really got time to think about the hood and shyt and your supposed to be balling and living it up in the burbs then something ain't right.

Once you reach the Lifestyle you shouldn't wanna go back.

this is exactly on point. i lease because i want a new car every three years or so without having to worry about being upside down. that's the luxury item i choose to spend on. i don't buy watches, rarely buy cloths, and rarely get a vacation.

but my car, take the elevator to the garage and get enjoyment out of it everyday after work. on the weekends, i floss the SUV.

Im hood rich, you dont want this life homie.

 

[Data-Hawk]

freedom. you know that saying about black men and the army. i think it equally applies to corporate america. you gain wealth, but you lose a piece of yourself.

aside from that, i don't know. i know i was a lot happier back then than now. and don't get me wrong, i'm happy now.

Why don't you just quit the nice job, give up the nice house and live out your dream?

You speak the truth( Just did 13hrs yesterday ), but I know people working 2 full-time jobs and still aint making what i'm making.. We should be grateful..

But I *think* I understand what the OP means, you wish you weren't so motivated all the time? and could be one of those people who didn't care about education/career and didn't mine being poor? and even though you would like to be that way, you know it's never going to happen?

any ideas on how to keep my current financial situation but with less stress and more hood fukkery?

Win the lottory.......sorry breh, as you move up the more hrs you're required to work Unless you are a MANAGER

my nikka, you just feeling some temporary insanity, tomorrow, you'll be glad to be where you are.

i get it though, why you're tired:
I think all people who didn't just do the "college-straight-to-professional" route who have gone over to the "other" side of things eventually feel so fukkin stressed, and start asking why we even doing this.

But the worst thing for me, I think is that most of your friends\family aren't able to relate to the stresses of this "never really off" crap.

It pisses me off everytime my OLDER brother calls me during some random ass hour in the workday (11:34am, for example), to try and talk to me about his new rims, or to ask me for 20 dollars....


Even my wife looks at me sometimes like, "b-b-but nikka, you off the phones now, you can't really be that tired\drained, can you?"
The pity\mutual understanding for me stopped the minute I jumped into this "professional" life.

THIS is some real shyt right here. It gets to the point that anytime you complain about your job they respond with "I'd happily put up with that stress for what you're making". It took forever for me to get out of the routine of taking my work home with me and leaving it behind. I'm contemplating now quitting my job and taking a 20-30K pay cut if necessary for a taste of that simpler life again.

and don't let anyone tell you different. i make 6 figures. got a big house in the burbs. luxury car, luxury suv. get a fair amount bougie p*ssy. but at the end of the day, i'd be happier working a 12/hour gig, with a box chevy on24s, fukking hoodrats

You can't maintain that kind of lifestyle in 2012. Most folks I know get money from their grandparents & shyt.

 

[Minty]

If it's really that much better then quit your job and go back and be hood.
