my method is - always save more than what i spend, if i make $500, im puttin 3 to 4 away. and i dont spend shit until i've got enough for the end of the month. but i've also got horrible addictions to weed, new eras, jordans, air forces & assualt weapons. so i gotta earn more to spend more. and i'm puttin work in on my house so i can get more value, so i can fuck with the real estate game.

I usually splurge on high end electronics. Fuck clothes I could care less how the hell I dress

saving is sometimes hard but if I'm saving for a vacation that's usually my motivation

I usually just put my money in this thing called a bank. It's uncommon nowadays though. Seriously, just save half your money or have a shoebox to keep it in like Redman on Cribs.
ferreal who knows what will happen. Plus the bank interest rate or whatever doesn't really help. You can only help yourself if you get a really long ass CD in which case your money is frozen.

I used to be a super saver cause my mom drilled that into me when I was young. Now that I'm older I realize you have to spend some money on shit you love now because you're not going to be young for long. Like going on a vacation or buying a new dj setup. I asked myself wtf am I saving for? To be able to spend money when I'm 60?

i buy clothes because when im freshly fitted my confidence is up. i aint even gon' lie.

im more quiet and standoffish if im dressed on some hood shit. and people are more afraid to look at me.

ive noticed when im dressed well alot of people smile and talk to me about where i got my clothes or whatever.

i swear, i used to NEVER buy clothes or shoes...like i was rocking some of my high school shit clear into my 20s.

then i got off my ass and decided that i should take some pride in the way i look and dress.

money is meaningless. it buys things that make you more comfortable. but at the end of the day, comfort is more important than money and thats why money is a segway to comfort....atleast in a sane persons hands.... so my money get spent to make the quality of my life increase.....i can always make more.

i only save an amount that i need. so if i got bills to pay, that gets saved. but yeah, i do have a 401k and im going to save my tax return...so thatll be my 2500 dollar cushion.

i woke up one day and said to myself...hey...you deserve a set of diamond teeth and a car sitting on 26's, too..


i love going into a store and seeing a bunch of fresh ass clothes and saying to myself, man imma buy this shirt and these pants and this hat and keep it tagged up till the right night..

I have a grip of clothes but I go through phases where I wear dressy shit, than polos, than jerseys so each time I go through each phase I buy more shit and plus my 2 boys gotta stay clean as well

When me and my friends go out to the bar I end up treatin they dumb asses as well and that shit gets $$ so that's 1 i need to quit

my monthly bills are ~2g a month so aint much room to save so I spend mostly what I have as well as trying to make upgrades to my house to eventually sell

Everytime I try to save some BS comes up and gotta put that $$ into somethin like medical-car-family
