Anyone not feeling all this financial freedom talk? (hear me out)

[liquid_swordz]

Maybe it's just me, but as of late it seems like there is a huge amount of promotion for financial freedom, investing,building wealth ect. Now I am for all of this, there is nothing wrong with any of this. I see this bein pushed everywhere from facebook, instagram,youtube, web forums ect. I am all about a side hustle and what not, but there is part of me that feels like we are being pushed to be drones and just work work work. Again I don't wan to sound ignorant like I am against people gaining wealth, I just want people o remember what life is about. Money is just a distraction from happiness sometimes it seems like we cant be happy without money due to the way our society is set up. Make your money just remember to enjoy life as well.

I feel you. I’ve always said money doesn’t move me. I know it’s important but I’m not gonna and don’t want to spend my life worried about money.
I just wanna be alright.

I think the sentiment is dope actually. People need to get off that worker ant mindstate. I just don't like the lanes it creates because it opens the door for fuckhead snake oil salesmen like Umar Johnson or Boyce Watkins to exploit their own in the name of it.

I didnt follow up on the stories about them yet but I heard people were getting upset.

You got one group of black people telling us we are at a disadvantage then another group telling us not to use it as an excuse. The truth obviously lies somewhere in between. But right now its just all become noise.

I don't think I've ever heard Umar Johnson say anything other than we need to keep money in our communities and tell it like it is when it comes to reasons why we can't get those business loans, etc.

If you live in a capitalist country why wouldn’t you aim for financial freedom? Not drowning in debt. Being able to do what you want and not what you have to do? Idk but I personally would find happiness in making a brighter future for my future kids.

Then again I’m a simple man whose dreams are easily obtainable. For example owning a v8 stick shift muscle car, owning a 600+cc bike, and owning a house

shit im loving my freedom.....

right now my great grandkids will be good off what i've done the last 7 years.

this year and next is already planned out for me to retire by 2020 and its still a ton of shit i have to learn.

nigga you might want to listen and change your thought process.

stop living to show you have money.
stop living to survive.
stop getting up to work for money to live. make a plan and make your money work you to live.

most people dont understand that its them and who they surround themselves with that stops them from advancing.

nigga if all you see is niggas not trying....you aint gonna try.
if all you see is niggas getting hustled out of money...then why would anything positive get thru to you?

or maybe you can stop living someone elses reality like its your own and make a move to become your best you.

what about those after you and around you?

are you a leader or apart of the crowd?

you better than that...you got ideas..utilize them.

its not about being worried about money...its about leaving an impact on someone or something greater than you.

That’s what it’s about FOR YOU.

My son will be quite alright when I leave this earth. I don’t want him with the mindset that money is everything. I value my life more than money.

I don’t want him busting his ass and not enjoying his life. It’s literally people out here who live to work. I live to live.

you can say what you want about this post but this is only half the story.

think of it like this.....at some point you are going to do a few things in life...either you gonna
1. cruise thru life not trying too hard but living a life that you think is comfortable.
2. working hard as hell in the wrong lane, trying to live like someone else, but getting no where and complaining about the hard work.
3. living off nigga by robbing , begging or manipulating others until no one trusts you...then you turn to sucking dick for beer and pretzels.
4. you can go hard for a while, working hard but smart so you wont have to work hard all your life and you can enjoy life.

which one will you choose?

either way you are going to have to work.

how are you going to nosign me when you agree with me?

if you are saying your son is good, then are you not having an impact?

money is a tool that you used to allow him to be alright if and when you leave this earth, am i right?

let me just say.....

i want to get people motivated to live the life i know we are all capable of.

I am in no way talking down to anyone nor do i want to.

i just look at it like you can enjoy life and get money by learning more and being smart with your money.
