When I was young like 16 or so I got my first car. It was a ragedy ass 1977 Bonneville Catalina 4 door with one door a different color. Didnt matter couldnt tell me nothing I was rolling. I went and got a pull out radio and my main man and friend at the time helped me get some iroc rims to put on it. Did yall read that properly? I said my potna helped me.get some rims. My car was like our car. He helped me ball out. Now me and him are still good friends to this day. But whats crazy is what happen to us where we as a people dont even do things like that anymore? Why dudes cant help each other open a store start a business or the likes. I met a lady who is a cook at a restaurant. Her husband is also a cook. Nothing spectacular but this Mexican couple owns a nice house. I was having a conversation with the wife and she told me her house was paid off. Impressed I began to ask how she did that. Do you know this woman said her family all pinched in so she could buy the house I was floored. Reason being if I ask my family to help with a power bill they will look at me nuts. Group economics is a powerful tool. If people pool their money together there is so much more that can be accomplished when one is trying to pull it off on their own. Think about how much money is saved by that woman buying her house out right instead of dealing with a bank for closing cost intrest rates and some more crap. Imagine how much cheaper one can get the house for if they are paying cash and getting it built. Instant equity in the house. I watch hard working good people pay rent for years simply because they cant get a loan or dont have the down payment to cover the p & I. And lets not even get into the points that criminal type lawyers and realtors create to take your money. Its a damn shame. Then you add in the factor of college loans, Car loans, and all the other mandatory expenses that life bring and its virtually impossible for the average family to get ahead in life. I know people who have got 30 year loans on homes and had to refinance them once or twice to the.point they will never own the house after 60 years. The banks job is to keep you in debt. The point is if you pool your funds together with a small circle of like minded people with upward mobility on the agenda amazing things can happen. But if your circle consist of people focused on wasting money on non tangible items like liquor, weed and unnecessary trips and miscellaneous items that hold no value after purchase like gucci sneakers, rims and purses then your losing. Respect your dollar and its power. Its the most powerful thing you have. Just a thought.
