I honestly dont think these are all that terrible purchases, 5 homes is the most reckless of all of these but it seems he just kind of kept upgrading, and with that he helped a lot of ppl out one house for his mom then his sister one house for his brothas rents out two of them and ones a house on a farm where he lives that’s smart/ awesome to me. 100k for the women in his life (mother and girlfriend who is the mother of his child) was a nice little ball, the cars were a lot smarter picks than some fighters, one super car, two family cars, and the new prius’s for his fam are nice they’re basically more reliable teslas with insane mileage. Only thing that sounds bad is the 200k on jewlery but i dont think there’s anything on earth you can buy that’ll maintain its worth like gold and diamonds. Plus its what he wants and likes, most it would’ve been 400k on more cars.
