Niggas think once they down they cant bounce back

He was born in like the biggest city in the US

Yes of course there's a level of hustle required, but I highly doubt Jay Z would be Jay Z if he was born in Jackson, MI.

bootlickers really in their feelings over neckbeards getting one up over them

19, lives with parents, wants to know if being broke is a choice

Perhaps one day op shall grow up

Dame Dash did an interview 6 years ago on the Breakfast Club talking about ownership/being a boss and being financially stable. Because it devolved into a screaming match with Envy, people weren't receptive to the message.
Two years later, Jay comes out with 4:44, echoing the same remarks as Dame Dash, but because it's Jay, people will listen.

OP is intelligent and has his heart in the right place, he just gets passionate and belligerent at times.

Not necessarily

Richer niggas can get their health back up

Healthcare system f***ed up

It's really, really hard to get out of being poor. It's expensive to be poor. With that said most people are terrible with money and buy a lot of s*** they don't need. Usually poor people or lower middle class are the worst at this.

I grew up poor, both parents were the worst financial role models possible. I had extended family with money so I saw both sides of the equation.

I know grown ass men who was working for 7.25/hr. Once you get on parole you HAVE to get a job and the job market not looking good for anybody with a record.

Its only a "choice" if you have options.

If you still working that same job for 7.25/hr and you're not being forced to (financially or physically)

You gotta ask yourself "Do i trust myself to make $58+ a day" If not then get used to smelling like bottom of the bag fries.

being poor can simultaneous be dictated by your actions and still not be “a choice”

you framing this mad weird like you want to put blame on poor niggas. i know who you really coming for, middle class folk who blow through their checks. i hear you!

but you don’t have to have a malicious attitude towards all people who are poor.

you can make all the right decisions and still be f***ed. you can f*** up and still be ight.

determination is a huge factor, but ppl underestimate just how much luck and chance dictate people’s future

Honestly the expensive clothes is expensive for a reason, s*** looks nice, fits nice, and is quality materials.

Like literally, whenever I'm looking at clothes, I don't see brand or price at all, I just strictly look at what I think looks dope and it's always the name brand expensive ass s***. That s*** was designed to be nice and the price reflects it.

Brakes started acting weird one day. Ended up needing like $2,000 in repairs (got in an accident because of it too).

:)

great avi tbh

you sure are innovative

Dont speed

Okay bro come on

Damn, might have to look. Into that. I remember reading something about that change round up s*** and it sounded like a good plan.

Don't drop your phone

I bent three wheels driving 20MPH (all within the span of two months).

Wasn't speeding. S*** happens.

Wheels either cost $300 to fix (with a chance they don't truly fix) or $900 to replace.

I worded it weird but niggas know what i meant

I never do more than 5 MPH over the speed limit lmao

Doin 70 in the right lane and using the left lane passing up bum ass niggas

Making sure i leave with enough time to travel
