This is what fukks people in the end, borrowing money. I think parents, black parents specifically need to do better with college planning for our children. I think if a black child can graduate college without any debt, they'd have a great starting point. Why would you want your kid to struggle when you had to?
I'm 25 years old and live with my parents. That makes me a loser right?

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
I stayed at my folks house when I came home from college and stayed there til last November. (08-2012). From 08-2011 the most i could pay was utilities. My Dad, brother & Stepmom stay in Birmingham, Alabama so i was basically in the house by myself and theyd come back to Atlanta once a month. So i can sorta relate to this situation b/c i did get pressure from my Dad & stepmom to move out but at the same time I was living the bachelor life with what looked like my own crib til I got my girl pregnant & she moved in with me at the end of 2011.
I'd say you gotta get your life & mind right before you leave b/c once you leave, going back should never be an option.

A lot of black parents are barely makin it month to month let alone stashing away thousands of dollars for college. When I turned 18 I knew what the deal was, wasn't NO savings. Thank god for fee waivers, all my CC classes are free 99
I'm not talking about my kids.... more than likely my kids (i got 3) will attend private schools their entire life then great universities, and not have any loans.... will grow up and not have to work for any CAC.
I'm just speaking in general about the loans - people have options.. and i struggled cuz i grew up in a literal trap in detroits east, but random people raised me well though.

That's bullshyt. Stash $50 a month and increasing each year from birth to 18. I know there are some parents who are legit barely making it but I've seen a lot of cases where family play the lotto daily, eat out everyday, have car payments, rent furniture, dress their kids in expensive clothing,etc claim to be not able to save. It's a sacrifice for sure, but it will be worth it.

LOL well when are you going to know for sure? Do you have an ESA started for them or at least a mutual fund.
i'm not offended and i see what ur saying.... but do u have children? have u built a career yet? did u have to struggle growing up.
i mean i'm only 28 and my sons are already set up for college except for 1... if i do what i need to do, he will be good as well. Also, i'm not w my first BM, but when I come up she comes up, if i get something she gets it... i get a new whip, she gets a new car... to me that's how it's supposed to be. Woman happy then kids are happy and develop well.
At the same time, if I wake up stratching my dikk in the morning and I hear my 25 year old son playing Madden in his room - I'm going to really start to wonder where i went wrong. Because no man starts off with a lot in his bank... but every man should be able to support himself -- If one of my sons needs to stay w me pass 19 then he better have some huge master plan he's cooking up that will take care of his moms and himself for the rest of their lives.
Michigan makes it easy... there are multiple plans. me and my father and grandfather and greatgf all have the same name - my son who I named the same name, my dad put up 80k for him already. I think that's outta guilt for playing vanishing magician on me, lol.
#2 I got him.. we started saving, it's easy- plus that BM works at GM in senior management. She has 3 degrees 4.0 gpa - so she got him if I didn't (but I believe a woman should enjoy her money, so hopefully I don't have to ask her to help).
Last son is too young to go to private schools w them. He's a baby, but i got him. I can tell he's smarter than the other two already - so I think he will be like me and get a scholarship. if he doesn't then I will take care of half at least - either-way, lil nikka will have to get out my house by 19.
no parental rights to 4th son so i don't count him, she moved to italy, never saw him.. she did me dirty, but fukkit life goes on.
Good shyt. Sorry about your 4th son though. Make sure you get life insurance as well (If you don't already have it). Term life policy at about 10x your income.

Man, how tf are you guys over 20 living with your parents ?
I'm 18 and my mom is already trying to kick me out.
You are 18. You don't have any insight of how the real works in adulthood. We don't expect you to understand.

I'm 24 and still living with my parents. They're cool with it cause I spent the past two years paying off my student loans and now putting all my cash towards buying my own house (should be out by next year). Also have two younger brothers so help em around with things. Basically not being a burden. But I guess that makes me a loser still 
In California, being 25+ still livin at the crib is normal
so i dont judge people esp in this area, where rent is routinely 1300+ for a shythole apartment in a crappy neighborhood, gas is 4$+ per gallon, just cost of living in general is a fukkin nightmare.
my boy is a college graduate with a good job and lives at the crib.
