100% facts.

If you're not setting yourself up, you're only going to be looking back and wishing you did.

Like you really need a whole lot of money today to retire like that.

Some people think they're alright until that first big, expensive health condition hits.

There's a reason all the grandparents in my family usually end up living with family.

it’s by design. elite power wants to keep the people in a state of perpetual need, so that their pesky thoughts of changing the system are kept at bay.

I agree, except that they want the thoughts to be in a perpetual state of discontent. Meaning rather than keep th at bay, they want the thoughts to be "well if we had Trump in, I could retire comfortabley. But these liberals are messing things up"

Facts. I’m slowing down on travel after this year to get my money up. It’s hard to balance living life and preparing for the future but sacrifices have to be mad. Facts.

The majority of people won’t heed the warning because they aren’t tryna go back in lifestyle

Alot of us - Black people - are still recovering from abject poverty.

My grandfather was a teacher and pillar of the community. Built the house I reside in. At one time there were 10 people living here between his kids and his grands and an odd niece and her bf.

Niqqas I know, the ones that are homeowners, they are going to be that person in their family. The first one to leave something behind for their lineage. In 2024, still paying off the crib and having their loved ones come in and crash out for as long as they need.

But when they get done, their kids will be secure. At least having somewhere to rest even if things go totally south for them.

Good news is: the percentage of poor Black people, while still higher than some other demographics, has been steadily dropping decade after decade.

At one time 99.9% of us were poor. Didn't even own our own bodies. Now I think it's about 25%. It's going in the right direction but the poverty rate among white people is about 10%.

No Google. Fact check me.

That’s why I’m trying to invest as much as I can right now, so by the time I’m that old at least hopefully I can feel comfortable financially

Let’s not forget that some times you can make the right decisions and still catch a bad deal. Just because an older person is down at their age doesn’t mean they were not taking their lives seriously.

Man, that's what scares me the most.
