00:00:58.040Spicy. All the prediction. All the, oh my god. They're going to stand up. And all the, this is the way it is. They're all going to sit down. But all the, your feelings are matter. So what? They're going to stand up. And then, yes, they're going to sit down.
00:01:23.040Wow, L, L, L. I'm sorry. I'm off in an L. I didn't expect it. I'm sorry.
00:01:27.640It's ingenuous to ignore systemic issues that we all experience. But I feel like it's 2021 and there's a lot of free resources. I mean, Facebook has a lot of free courses. I think that poor is also a mindset.
00:01:42.300I agree. Originally when I came out here, I started straight at the homeless shelter. I had to flee from domestic violence for my family.
00:01:50.400Most people in general don't choose to be poor. But since I've been here specifically in L.A., a lot of people outside, they don't want to come into the shelter because they'd rather be in the tents.
00:02:01.100Jesus Christ, bro. L.A. is different, man. They got, like, communities and different sections of homeless people.
00:02:07.600There's the shelter homeless and the tent homeless. And they know each other. That's the level of homelessness in L.A.
00:02:14.220So I have been on both sides of the coin. And I can reflect and look back on some of the lifestyle choices that I was making, some of the people that I was hanging around.
00:02:24.120So I don't think that people can initially control if they're born into poverty. But I think that there is a certain level of control that comes along with being able to have that determination and that resilience.
00:02:37.320Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We need to realize that these people are on the street not because of their own shoes.
00:02:49.720It's out of their circumstances. And sometimes life is really hard. And you can't blame these people for circumstances that are out of their control.
00:02:57.720Because of the system that we live in. Society. Perpetuates these things.
00:03:01.920If I could speak to that, I come from a family that once relied on welfare and food stamps. And I've been blessed enough to make millions of dollars in real estate.
00:03:10.160But had I bought real estate from 2005, 2008, I'd probably be bankrupt today. I just bought at the right time.
00:03:17.440People wish to be rich. They don't want to be rich. The difference is, do you take action?
00:03:21.700That being said, I agree with a lot of your points you're making about people not really having the resources or the opportunity to have any kind of action plan.
00:03:31.940Some people don't even want to be rich. Like, I don't want to be rich.
00:03:33.960Chad, it's being poor mentality. In my opinion, kind of. W or L. I'm saying W being poor is a choice.
00:03:42.180Nowadays with the internet, anyone can, you could drop ship. Bro, there's just so much fucking, there's so, there's so much, there's so much ways to make money.
00:03:49.980There's so many people who run, like, successful YouTube channels just posting top five clips.
00:03:54.200They get a narration to narrate the whole shit. They get their script from Wikipedia.
00:03:58.680Like, bro, if you really got some hustle, if you hungry, you can get, you can get to it, bro.
00:04:05.820Someone just donated $5 and said, don't drink Red Bull, this is going to make you stressed. This is how I get to it.
00:04:09.980Right? I didn't want to stream tonight, but I'm like, bro, let's fucking stream. I'm going hard. It's like eight days straight. I'm not stopping, bro.
00:04:15.400That's more important than being, I'm tired.
00:04:17.880So, yeah, I'm going to drink a Red Bull and everyone's going to say I'm on a Perk 9000. Fuck you, man.
00:04:21.940Like, but I also don't want to be poor. I'm happy in the middle.
00:04:24.720And I would want to live in society where they could perpetuate people.
00:04:28.160You have braces on, bro. Shut the fuck up. You have not, like, no place to talk.
00:25:54.500But also, I mean, statistically, like, people from my old neighborhood and people, you know, around this in these communities, they spend about 50% more on shoes.
00:26:06.580Chat, what happened to unemployment money?
00:26:40.180Well, not only that, Todd, but I think I looked up a recent statistic that said that Asian households, their children tend to study 13 to 15 hours a week.
00:26:50.000Where in a black household, it's like three hours a week.
00:34:11.000But also, I mean, statistically, like, people from my old neighborhood and people, you know, around this in these communities, they spend about 50% more on shoes.
00:34:20.120Chat, what happened to unemployment money?
00:34:56.120Well, not only that, Todd, but I think I looked up a recent statistic that said that Asian households, their children tend to study 13 to 15 hours a week.
00:35:05.820Where in a black household, it's like three hours a week.
00:50:53.620And another thing is I feel like if I were to have passive income, I guess you can say, or be financially stable, I can pursue and distract myself with my actual passions.
00:51:03.620You would go broke in fucking two months, bro.
00:51:06.620You want to start a true crime YouTube channel?
00:51:12.620I want to start a true crime YouTube channel, but I don't have the laptop.
00:51:16.620The addiction takes control so I don't think about the things I don't have and I just feel numb and thoughtless and I'm just enjoying my TV.
00:52:29.620I am a real estate investor and a YouTuber and I make about $1.4 million per year.
00:52:34.620When you grow up the way I did with no money and your mom is struggling and crying herself to sleep every night because you can't pay the bills.
00:53:35.620If I wasn't having to work every day to pay my rent, then I would have more time to make music and connect with people and find venues to perform my music.
