What’s the lowest you could really live on if you tried to retire today? What in your lifestyle could be cut, realistically? I’d find it hard for you to live below 60% of your current income.
I mean I’d cut out anything I don’t need if my income was cut.

I’m not saying it’s bad to get married or to make 2 mil, but if that doesn’t happen you’d have to cut your expenses.

I’m just saying that would have to be the third option and could still work.

ask yourself if you grinded your ass off for 50 years, do you want to live on a 30-50k budget especially when you factor inflation 30yrs from now.
The 2 mill msg is usually to women cause they always talking a luxurious lifestyle of trips and stuff
It’s not that you wouldn’t want to live on that type of budget, but it’s the only option if you don’t get married or have a high earning field.

When KS talks about retirement he makes it sound like those are the only two options left.

You’d have to cut your expenses if you don’t have the money.

If you do have enough, then you good.

It’s tough finding a “Wolfpack”

:patrice:

I’m glad he’s realistic about mentors, everyone begs for a mentor, but they don’t realize it has to be organic and most of the time is luck.

You're right about finding a Wolfpack.

I was fortunate to have some professional and personal mentors though.

Rebuilding that group now since some folks moved. In terms of my career though I'm where I should be for technology.

I tried to get on the show to but it was so many men in the zoom waiting room.

Also some dudes were walking around with shirts off, walking around in general using a cell phone camera. Some in there bedroom at home with a desk in the corner, meanwhile I'm in my actual office at home.

Just by being in the zoom waiting room getting a sample of Kev's listeners I just thought to myself, "this is his audience huh". That said, I'm sure The Coli would be the same if we could really see who's behind these post.

Petty Vandross.. fukk Yall
That Detroit nikka was mad-mad:russ::dead:
The main takeaway is from not only him but that weirdo cac from the beginning is too many men put their life on hold for family/Ma Dukes
I’ve been guilty of this
Your family will give you fukked up advice because they were too scared to do it
Or try to guilt you into keeping that “good job”
If you are single, get out there man
Find your way, fail, leave these hoes alone and if you do need sexy time
Triple bag that shyt or make her get spermcide and squeeze that joint in her before
I don’t care if it dampens the mood
As much as I love my wife and daughter
And I love my mother
I would’ve never moved back to Houston in 2005
The biggest regret of my life
Sure I’m straight but I wish I would’ve stayed for me
I was too much of a people pleaser and I was truly scared after graduation
Plus I was tired of working so much
But if I had the knowledge of my 40 year old self at 23:wow:
Sometimes I wonder what my empire would’ve looked like out there in The Bay:mjcry:
Young men you better rumble and bet on you
Once you get my age with responsibilities :mjcry:

Talking to the dude from Detroit - my family culture has always been move for the job or career. We knew we'd make time to see each other.

I'm glad I moved to enhance my career and build my life. No regrets making the decision.

Some men are won't take that risk but they should.

LOL at him trashing Phllly and Detroit. I'd agree - Houston, Atlanta, Charlotte if he wants Black women in a major metropolitan industry.

Maybe DC but you'd have to be in the upper crust.

Same. I’m fortunate enough to have older brehs check in and give game.

I wish the Wolfpack concept was just as easy as when BW form sisterhoods. Tech is a good sector to give value to others tho.
