Hey

[@thmoney25]

I have let go of so many people due to their slave mentality. I know people who have Masters degrees and complain about not having any money. I have had people question my money habits to encourage me to purchase expensive objects in which I find no value. The great divide has taken place. 2025 will be one of my greatest years because I have let go of all the excess baggage. Thank you for your great messages

[@AlexBee-l6q]

Indeed the great divide is here. In 2024 I let go of a lot of relationships that no longer served me. It's a bit lonely right now, but I would rather be alone than surrounded by fools

[@jamalhenderson320]

Locked in 2025 I quit smoking weed, working out again, working 2 jobs, saving money, getting my CDL to get that OT bus transit money. I wanna learn to trade , God is good.

[@bb3ll07]

God bless you ❤

[@chrischreative2245]

Good for you, all that sounds great. Wish the black community as a whole could follow your lead. Especially on weed smoking

[@Desert_Rogue_Tanker]

Got my CDL Class B last year,started working driving for a school bus company in November

[@Same-l3d]

I quit alcohol, started drinking Wolf Cola instead never felt more alive aside from when I eat raw cheeseburgers.

Bro, that Black Friday part is so true. I’m a trash truck driver. I told my coworker the other day, “I don’t wanna hear anything about people not having money. These trash cans are ALWAYS FULL!!!” The landfill is filling up with trash everyday. I know it’s harder out here, but it’s not the end.

Seneca once said "Money is the slave of the wealthy and the master of the poor" What do you want to be? A slave or a Master?

Facts 💯💯💯 Great message bro, keep bringing that word. The people need to hear this!!!

[@Nylon_riot]

Mrs Fields, Chef Boyardee, and Lonnie Johnson are other good examples. The fact that a rapper is held in esteem and not Lonnie Johnson is a great example of misplaced priorities. Chef Boiardi or Boyardee had to change his name twice because Italians and Italian food was considered low class by the wasps. What all these people have in common is perseverance, even when trying and failing, they kept going at it from different angles. Blaming "the system " is just learned helplessness, and you enforce and assist said system by thinking that way. Also great book on your piano!

[@belindakennedy5828]

As long as it gets me from A toB it's fine by me,it don't matter what it looks like and not on credit, other words second hand and paid for. You can laugh at the keep up with the Jones folks once their stuff gets repod, at least you can sleep at night.

[@belindakennedy5828]

Young folks can't keep a hold of a job nowadays, they stress out getting up early and then having to work 8 hours then pay tax on those hours worked, only then to have to pay rent and utilities etc you know real world stuff we all have to do to legally survive in this world, no one gets a pass unless your high in the government or in the billionaire club.

[@belindakennedy5828]

By the way tax is theft, but I do see the need for it for some things to make life easier for the tax payers, once things don't help the tax payer it's theft.

[@swaaggy]

[@johncarr7198]

All thru history the brass ring for everyone was to be in business for yourself. To have your own company That has always been the way to get rich That changed starting in the eighties on onward. The era of the corporation who bought up every start up Like you implied. Work for yourself.

[@darkrose00]

All of this! ❤

"Poor people live large and Rich people live small"....let's be honest why would a rich person flex his wealth and attract thieves? It's called security. Poor people don't have anything to protect 🤷🏾😅

[@Thinkbrave-1]

Well it could be a 100 reasons why a person making 20 bucks a hour driving a 80k car, I'm sure it's other income coming from somewhere, he or she could be married to a spouse that makes alot more money. I also think when people take time out their day to deep dive into why a person driving a luxury car that's working at a place that don't pay much, is probably somewhat jealous.

[@Thinkbrave-1]

I say it's a person's prerogative what car they choose to have, I'm sure if it's something they can't afford nature will take care of that in due time, but who am or anyone else to say another person priorities out of order because they work at a grocery store driving a Benz, that's something like hating going on.

[@Mhel2023]

For me, I had a solid job (I'm retired now) and a nice car. I was trying to aggressively pay off debt so I took a 2nd job at Lowe's. I ended up becoming debt free plus I was able to get incredible markdowns on home items like $60 pictures for $10 and discontinued or returned tools for 80% off. We would go through that stuff first and leave the rest for the customers

[@benskywalker7]

The Bible spoke about our people and how we would be a lost and destroyed nation. Read Deuteronomy 28 as well as these scriptures: Hosea 4:6 KJV My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Isaiah 1:3-4 KJV The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. [4] Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Isaiah 42:22-25 KJV But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. [23] Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? [24] Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law. [25] Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart. Grace and Peace in Jesus name✌🏽

[@bagery]

I agree with you often enough. But correction on Elon...he was more flashy in his past lives. As you age, you get to reinvent yourself a few times. He bought a million dollar car then shortly thereafter, crashed it. I'm sure he took many lessons from that.
