“The average street nikka doesn’t have 10k saved up” - former Oakland street nikka

[High Art]

Unsurprising. "Cause legal money last longer than drug money".

a grad student befriended a gd branch leader who gave him four years' worth of books... he made $100k, his bosses each made $500k, his three right hands made $7/hr, and his 75 soldiers made $3.30/hr

I need to buy that book again

2-3K a month is good money when you didnt have to work for it. Especially if you live with a chick or your mama in section 8 housing.


But hes describing majority of amwricans. We are working for free and for a lifestyle essentially.

 

[Prodyson]

Back in the time of that study that 3.30 was the equivalent of $18 an hour. For an uneducated young kid with no introduction to work etiquette. That was Solid bread.

That $7 was like current day $36ish an hour. Enough money to save up and cop a home in a couple years.

The conclusion they found is that selling drugs was the best option for those growing up in the projects when you laid out all their options.

Where are you getting that math from?

There's an episode of The Sopranos about this too. Tony was living check to check. But not Hesh

It’s the scammers that have $$
Maybe 5 years ago when credit card fraud was a thing

they blow the money too though...
...which is why they couldnt stop

Chris was stressed cuz he owed Pauly $2k

moral of the story (and this thread) is its not always about how much you make...
...its about what you do with the money you have

That's an interesting presentation

I just cant fukk with those cacs laughing at the drug trade and inner city poverty. Should have had a more serious tone.

 

[BunchePark]

when is the last time you didn't have 10 bands?

 

[The_Truth]

Is this supposed to be groundbreaking news? I thought everyone knew this.

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

Street dudes get the best looking woman in the black community

It's not something that is a long term thing

So there not gonna save money it's a fast life thing

Btw 9 to 5 dudes don't have money saved up usually either

And even athletes and entertainers go broke

Those cacs were the same ones who also said in their book that mass abortion dramatically lowered street crime

Not getting lead out of gasoline which almost certainly did it instead.

But it makes sense that they would mock Black people doing what they had to do in a deliberately economically deprived environment.

 

[Lord Quas]

“If you brought it out to blow, when you got it from the blow
Then that's why the fukk they call that shyt blow money”

 

[old pig]

A lot of people don't have 10k saved up

exactly.
