I have to call it like I see it. The female accountability thing is true but he goes to far and debates like a emotional female. Is this your daddy?
I'm just trying to find out why you in here crying like Evita Peron on stage. Did he hurt you? Take your girl? Does he owe you money? You could just as easily ignore KS and this thread. But you're clearly hurt. Why?

This looks like the type of woman I'd fall in love with

But, she wants a man that takes 10x the amount she does AND a career for her self worth...because being a man's wife and mother ain't shyt

:to: Back to #GMB for me




:snoop: These calls always perplex me.

Not sure why Mr. Samuels touts one has to have that much money to live well with a family in Atlanta; it certainly hasn't been my experience, but perhaps he's talking about folks who want to live a certain lifestyle.

I know a single-income family here where the husband makes in the lower $100k+ range and supports a stay-at-home wife and now 3 school-aged children. I know another family - dual income and likely in the $150k+ range - who have one child because they said that's all they could afford, based on the lifestyle they want to have and the education they want to give the child. Also know another family where the husband is making $150k-$180k as the sole provider out on the road but, back home, his wife homeschools the kids but they were living paycheck to paycheck because of how she was managing the money. It is all about choices and priorities, I think.

A woman who gets to only focus on her family is lucky. I'm not sure why these young ladies can't see that. That this young lady thought, if she somehow got a man making $400k, it would be okay to have the kids put into daycare floors me. I don't know if any woman truly ever wants to have to put the kids in daycare, and maybe some do...but when you have a spouse earning nearly half a million, why would you even consider it? That would be a man providing all the resources you need to raise y'all's kids and keep the home in a way most people can't...and to still be thinking about working on an outside career...for what?

There are ladies who do this in families where their men are making less than $50k. You find them on YouTube in videos about people who are trying to live debt free and as simple as possible. They sometimes live in small houses which have no mortgage (in order to make the money stretch) and they are very intentional with their money and spending. Also, the women in these families sometimes stay at home to raise the kids and they spend time thinking of ways to be a blessing to the home and family and multiply or preserve what the husband does bring in, all in an effort to raise the kids without outside influence (as Kevin often alludes to).

I wish Kevin would talk more about these situations. Juxtaposing examples of these average women who are not married to HVM but can still act in the role of a traditional housewife would poke holes in the arguments of these women who call in saying they feel they want and deserve more but dont know how to be a good steward over what they already have; it is not likely they would suddenly become a blessing to a HVM or any man overnight with they mindset.

I would say that my main and only issue with Kevin Samuels is these numbers he throws out about the money required to live these alleged lifestyles. I co-sign the reasonable numbers you stated.

Has he brought up the Derrick Jaxn debacle at all?

His content is getting stale and he only seems to care about these 2hr Livestream's to hoard donations.

If there won't be anymore fukkery on his channel

I'm out.

I try not get into these back and forths about "how the show should be ran" because;
  1. Just don't watch
  2. Ya'll never come with numbers.
  3. Ya'll half way listen.
You've got acedotal evidence of three families.

The Cost of Raising a Child in the United States

On average, middle-income parents will spend $284,570 by the time a child turns 18.

The Cost of Raising a Child

Families Projected to Spend an Average of $233,610 Raising a Child Born in

These are general numbers.

And the more you listen the more you understand these women aren't trying to penny pench...they wouldn't have the problems they have it they did.

Yeah, he exaggerates what it takes to live well. $200k in the suburbs of NYC is decent for a small family. Most couples aren’t bringing in that much together.

It is useless to do that because of what of what you said, most couples (household income) do not make that together. That would prove his points better to the women audience. It doesn’t take the amount of money they think to live a great lifestyle.
