    Ahh nevermind..

    Used to have that mindset but after passing a certain level, it's hard to come down....

    Also i agree with that mindset (especially our kinfolk) about slaving to pay mortgages on those huge houses they barely stay in.

    FACTS!!!!!!!!!! Drops mic and walks off stage... The crazy thing is people who spend alotta money on dumb shot usually don't have alotta money and the ppl that society consider not fly or clean can just whatever they want!!!

    I'm not saying what your friend is doing is right but! Whats the point of saving all your money to spend later on in life when you could die at any moment and not had much fun or lived life cause you PLANNED on living it up later?

    Me personally I'd rather spend that money on that BMW than I would a ? KIA. $450=$450 no matter how you slice it. If I'm still broke paying $450 for KIA might as well be broke paying $450 for a BMW.

    I'm really not getting your logic here as far as the car payment ? goes

    The Kia thing was an example.. Meaning I rather pay for something brand new than 7yrs used!!! And all the problems that may occur wig an older luxury car can be expensive!!! The point of the thread is why have champagne taste when you have beer money

    Nothing wrong with having expensive taste and with little money. The problem comes when the little money the person has is spent in ways that doesn't really help them.

    Exactly what's the point of looking like you got millions and you make 50K and putting ur self in debt!!
    What's the logic? So far on the IC ppl feel like YOLO so buy what u want

    We all have some form of debt. The thing is is your debt worth it though? I'm in debt right now but its because I'm a homeowner.Thing is you have to have a balance. I'm not a person who agrees with that save damn near everything until you retire ? . You can die and never spent ? on anything you really wanted. ? kind of life is that just to avoid debt.

    I can't knock a person who bought an expensive car but lives in a ? neighborhood. If that is where they are comfortable who am I to say they should've spent that money on finding a better place to live. Everyone doesn't want a house or place in a certain kind of neighborhood.

    If a persons bills are paid and they want to buy expensive ? with the rest of their money and scrape by until their next paycheck. I say ? it do that ? cause its true you do only live once make that ? count.
    This mentality is why black people stay struggling.Save nothing for your kids to do better than like others do which is why they own everything and we don't,but I will leave it at that.Slaves should have just been good slaves in order to not get whooped or killed because they would have got treated better by master.Thinking beyond right now is always a benefit not just for you but your family.Why not just take all your money and blow it at Vegas because you might die any day? Brilliant!

    Damn sho is. lol

    I could never see myself owning one BUT that K900 is spiffy IMO. If someone we're to debadge it and put some nice full faced Forgi's or Shants on it, nikkas would be like "I dunno what that is, but dat bish hard!!" I've actaully seen it happen.

    My homie got one of them joints, and this ? be making long bread, I think he got it to slide around in tho lol

    So it's basically his "lowkey"/secondary whip. Don't get it misconstrued, I'd bend the hell out some corners if someone tossed me the keys, I just don't think I'd buy it. lol

    Man i'll say it if y'all ? won't. No grown man should go and voluntarily purchase a Kia for himself especially not a brand new one. I mean, to each is own but u probably walk around with a limp wrist while switching hard like Peggy Bundy.

    I'm thinking T/S is saying that this is why our community is in the situation it's in compared to say Asians and whites... because of the life is short mentality and desire for brand name items in order to stunt instead of prepping for yours and your children's future. I could be wrong though.

    Asians are the ultimate fashion and brand ? homie..
    try again..

    Asians are at where they're at because they're given the opportunity to do so..
    there was a thread on it not too long ago..

    ur an immigrant.. come to America and they open up all their resources to u..
    u a homegrown ? .. they make it a point to make sure u don't benefit..
    i see old asian ladies riding big benzes all ? day. lol

    LOL @ ur Kia.

    I agree w/ your post my ? but $450 ain't really that high of a car note. And if you paying THE SAME AMOUNT for a Kia you just contradicted yourself.

    450 for a 2016 brand new Kia than a 2008 Beamer

    You're still paying $450...How's one person 'spending all their money to look good' when both people are PAYING THE SAME ? AMOUNT???

    One is more like to be the better bang for the buck. Warranty, brand new, less gas, less expensive upkeep, etc..
