It kinda surprises me that it's mainly men that complain about the financial aspect of being high value.
I agree with Kev when he says 10K a month is just getting you in the door of being high value.
As a 31 year old that's been clearing 6 figures for years now working/living abroad, I can say say there is a clear distinction in the life I'm living in multiple facets vs my friends/associates that are making 250k - 350K (O&G and Banking Senior/Executive Management), at least 500k (Business Owners), million plus (locals in Gulf Countries).
Man it's crazy to see how much dude's channel has grown in such a short amount of time, it shows how much interest there is in black relationships, plus now he's even getting popular outside of black relationships
Cause this shyt becoming a huge problem in america lol. This country the poorest it's ever been and it fukked up relationships between men and women all over. Most women don't pay attention to socioeconomic changes so they don't understand men don't make what they used to and too many men are being passive as hell with how women act socially and just let them do whatever they want.
For black men the bar is definitely lower considering all the disenfranchisement we go through
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.
You know if you are building a business you work at it:
9-5pm at the other man's job. 5-10pm you on your grind for what you WANT. That means 5-10pm I'm researching, sending emails, addressing all the parts of the business plan to get new clients or access greater investments etc. You may do this for 5 hours EVERY night from 22-32. Thats 10 years of trying because I am devoted to this. I am "Pursuit of Hapiness" engaged! I'm metaphorically sleeping on the bathroom floor at the subway because I really want this.
You mean to tell me if you put in the same amount of work 5-10 PM on the phone with dude(s), figuring out his business, washing his clothes, cooking his meals, learning when I need to talk and speak life into him, when I need to STFU and work on conflict resolution skills, time management skills etc. -- that you won't be successful? if they spent 15,000 hours on men and they don't get the results they want that's on men. What Kevin is saying is it's not an option. If I truly measure my success as a woman on getting married, staying married, and having children, put MOST of that energy into that.
Most women would do better without borrowing 30k for a degree, but instead taking that 30k and getting a BBL, personal trainer and therapy. They would achieve the goal they are setting out for.
It's sad how some many black men think like this, the type that will question Russell Wilson or Michael B Jordan's blackness because they don't have 'swag'
Overconsumption of media hurts black men, too. Not every "real" black man gotta be Ghost from Power or some early 00s rapper.

Chick was insufferable. You buggin.Any woman who says "
I'm trying to be respectful to your platform" three whole times is NOT trying to be respectful to your platform. I died when Kevin asked her, "
Why do you keep saying that? You're supposed to be respectful." Even she had to laugh at how ridiculous she was sounding.
