Best bet is to just stay prepared. Plan in advance and be ready for any and all possibilities! We can't depend on anyone to help us ad black people. We have to be ready and able to help ourselves!

Not sure what will happen with the economy as of now. I just try to learn from my own life experiences. Back in 2012/13 I had a pretty decent job. The only thing that sucked about it was it was a federal government contract position. The benefits weren't great but the pay was good. The thing is...

This whole thread can be summed up in 3 words "FUCK THE POLICE!"

Another thing is that my understanding is that the two officers that shot her aren't even being charged in this indictment!

Absolutely. Prosecutorial misconduct. Using your office to further your political future with the racist Republican party while hurting citizens is a crime!

The amount of police that are racist is astounding. I had one cop that I worked with say this: "If I saw a car full of black guys driving around I would find that very suspicious." I tried to explain to him that I drive around with my friends quite often and we aren't doing anything illegal. We...

I'm not even dropping $90 on a first date. A first date is going to be cost neutral. There are far too many money hungry chicks out there. I can't count the number of dates I have been on where I ended up hittin and then later decided that the chick wasn't worth my time. I learned the hard way...

Here is my thought. There are nearly an infinite number of planets out there. How many are habitable I don't know but I'm sure it is a large number. Now if you look at the science here on Earth in the grand scheme it didn't take much of the life of the planet for life to develop and not long...

Real talk. Black people don't make the culture. We are the damn culture.

Unfortunately living in America you have to ensure your children have a realist understanding of where they are and the reality surrounding them. I do try to give my kids the best life that I can. I try to give them everything that they need and want. I try to give them all the things I didn't...

The good thing about being a nurse is there is a lot of moon lighting opportunity. I can always make extra money by picking up side shifts. I've been doing a lot of side shifts with home health companies. Those pay a bit less but the work isn't as hard/demanding. You only have one patient and...

Not necessarily a bad idea to keep some extra food around. Especially if you don't think you will be able to afford further prices hikes.

Definitely. I sometimes go to the convenience store and spend as much on a few snacks as what I used to spend for a week's worth of grocery!

Welp!

These are all excellent ideas. I know I am certainly trying to use quite a few of those tactics myself. 1,2,8,10,12,13. Probably need to start doing 9,11. And I'm definitely planning on cutting a lot of my subscriptions like netflix, hbomax etc.

I feel ya. I used to go to the grocery store and spend $50 or $60 and have a lot of food. Now that's just enough to get snacks or food for the evening!

Try to plan ahead just in case. It's always better to be ready and not need to be than to not be ready and need to be!

Yeah I am definitely trying to watch my spending. I honestly was being lazy and eating out a lot. I have started trying to cook at home more. It's a lot healthier, cheaper and let's face it I cook better too. Ain't a fast food restaurant that can out do authentic Louisiana cooking!

I'm pretty certain I don't recall inflation being this bad during my adult life. I don't think I remember a point where it has been this bad even when I was a child. I feel like Joe Biden and the Democrats have failed the country and more specifically failed the black community. I've always...
