I'm 31 years old. I was making like 42k per year when I was 21 and 22, then ended up almost being homeless within 2 years after I moved out to San Diego. Struggled hard for the next 3-4 years and had 2 sons in that time. When you have a kid and "life" happens and you damn near don't have money to feed them, even if you're ballin you tend to spend your money more wisely after going through something like that. Living paycheck to paycheck is horrible and being broke is one of the worst stressors in your life. To each their own. But if you need Jordan's to pull a beezy, you're pulling some low quality women. Having your own house will get women a lot easier than having some new J's and sleeping on your mama's couch.
