Today's post is going to be short and sweet (sorry to disappoint). Have you ever seen how when oil and water meet they separate and don't mix at all? Well, I've decided that certain black people and prioritizing have the SAME kind of relationship. Walking around melting in 85 degree+ temperatures today delivering late rent notices made me question why it's so hard for people to prioritize? Most college students receive some sort of refund check, which they often use to stunt and front like they're "ballin'". GROW UP. Pay your rent loser.
There's no reason for you to have an eviction on your record before you even finish school. Seriously...how and why would you let an entire month(s) pass without paying a red cent on the place that you live? I bet you got those Jordans though huh? You manage to spend money on frivolous things like liquor, road trips, or any number of unnecessary items but you can't find the money to keep a roof over your head? Let's see, an eviction ruins your credit AND your rental history (meaning most places will not allow you to lease, buy, rent in your name for oh...about SEVEN YEARS), not to mention the credit of whoever you bamboozled into co-signing/guaranteeing your lease agreement.
Stop trying to "keep up with the Joneses" when you don't have the same resources. No one said life is fair, suck it up, work hard and then maybe you can become "the Joneses". Until then, you can't live a Champagne lifestyle on a Kool-Aid budget.
Sorry for the anger...but it was hot.
Ahh...that feels better.

Hmmm...sad, but true! Stop "stuntin' like your daddy"...he has a salary!
ReplyDeleteWe're all here to learn life's lessons. Sadly, being evicted is a lesson some need to learn in this life in order for them to grow. You're correct, prioritizing is the key.
