You wan’ talk character? there it is in ya face,
I admire that, I’ll also admit that he’s a better man than I am.
That’s how you stay sane.
I’m not sure if i would keep sweeping… but I would try to have something to keep me grounded since most people that win go broke/crazy. This man is a true class act, i hope hes investing some of that money
Most people go broke because they think having money is easy and they know what to do with it.
They don’t.
Buying a new house, car and traveling around the world will only get you so far. Spending money without knowing or following where it goes will get you in debt fast. Aslo if you want to stay rich you better know how to invest it because money (especially US dollars) get hit with inflation and become worthless by the month, so you need to keep your money growing.
But most people have no clue about wealth, how to get it and how to maintain it; know what to do (have a plan) if you lose it and get control of it.
Glad to see he understands what true worth its and it is staying grounded. He may even know that while 3+ million dollars is a good chunk of change, in the larger scheme of things, its just enough to retire on (and I bet most people don’t know they are supposed to have about 2mil to retire on). The government takes half of his 3+ million so he gets 1.5. Its really not allot of money.
Yall gon get this nigga kidnapped.
Lmao @ how ignorant you sound.
God bless
See a black man know how to be rich. When he leave, uh, he gone leave you for a white girl, nah they was already together. Fine black women thirsty now
