Because white people don’t want Black people to get it.

Nobody making $50,000 plus a month is selling you a course on how to get in their industry and become their competition.

Yall so out of touch with the trenches its sad. Its grown adults barely making $20 a hour and you telling me $70,000 a year isnt a good salary? Thats 5,000 a month 😭😭😭😭😭😭

@mama_mia_09 Black people perceive it that way because anti blackness is something each of those groups suddenly can unite on when it serves them. Each of those groups unite when blackness is the common enemy

@mama_mia_09 They stick together when it comes to hating black people and that’s all that matters

@SoChillRob @mama_mia_09 You really got to see the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans assemble like Voltron against Southeast Asians... Vietnamese, Thai, Malaysian, Filipinos etc. They hate them!

Other races don’t stick together yall just have limited interaction with them and lump all Asians, Latinos and Europeans together

@JDoeg53617 @ronkelawal You're delulu. Its ABSOLUTELY is!

@ronkelawal It’s not normal to be living with parents after the age of 18. Growth happens outside of the shelter of a parents household.

"35% of young men aged 20-35 were living with their parents" OK but where else is someone in their early twenties supposed to live??????? Can we normalise normal behaviour please?

They took the gold. They took the diamonds. They took the rubber. They took the ivory. They took the palm oil. They took the copper. They took the uranium, including the uranium used in the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which came from the Belgian Congo. They took the labor, for centuries, in chains, across an ocean, in the largest forced migration in human history. They took the land. They took the governance structures and replaced them with administrative systems designed to serve extraction. They took the educated class and either exiled, imprisoned, or assassinated those who resisted. They took Patrice Lumumba and had him killed. They took Thomas Sankara and had him killed. They took the future these men represented and replaced it with regimes that served the extraction. And then they looked at what remained and called it proof that Africa could not govern itself.

@Naimaintaipei @ornellasxo @hewantswealth Oh, ok. Its that simple? Please explain?

@JohnBrownUnit @ornellasxo @hewantswealth The house I bought, you're probably thinking it's a 500k London pad, it is a one bedroom apartment in Kampala, £26,000.

No matter HOW you dress it up, £35k is not a good salary, sorry. Doesn’t matter if you live in London, outside London, with parents, renting a flat, in a relationship, living single, got kids, do not have kids, got a car on finance, not got a car on finance…no matter your current circumstances…you need more! And I’m not saying that to put anyone down, I just don’t want you to be comfortable earning that amount, especially on London. Housing costs are UP, train costs are UP, food costs are UP, dating costs are UP…everything UP except salaries!

@PacketGroove @trwsenti We're such a fucking wank country lol No pride, no patriotism, no drive Telling graduates they should expect to live in a cramped flatshare like a Bulgarian peasant, lol

@PacketGroove @trwsenti Oh you could stay at home?

@trwsenti They can live in shared accommodation until they can afford not to. I had to. No graduate should expect to have their own place for a few years after entering the workforce, that’s an unrealistic expectation.

£32,000 a year. Graduate job. What it actually comes to: Gross: £2,667 a month. Income tax: £324 National insurance: £225 Student loan Plan 2: £35 Pension (4% auto-enrol): £107 Take home: £1,976. Rent in any UK city worth living in: £1,200. Council tax, gas, electric, water, internet: £420. Train or petrol to get to work: £250. Bills alone eat £1,870 of it. Leaves you £106 a month for food, clothes, socialising and any kind of life. This is what a 'good graduate job' looks like in 2026 after 3 years at uni and £50K of student debt. How did we let them sell this to us?

@trwsenti Don't go to uni. Learn a trade. Earn double that easily.

You can earn £28k–£35k in the UK 🇬🇧 and still feel like you’re surviving, not living. Let’s be honest. Rent: £900–£1,400 (one bed, nothing fancy) Council tax: £120–£200 Energy: unpredictable- let’s say 150 for gas and electricity. Transport: quietly draining you daily- bus fare increases every year. Food: rising every single month- even Aldi is getting expensive and Tesco is not getting cheap. Before the month even starts… your salary is already gone. Then they ask: “Why are our people relying on benefits?” Because the maths stopped making sense. Working full-time used to mean stability. Now it means exhaustion with no progress. You save £200? Something breaks. You plan ahead? Rent goes up. You pick extra shifts? Tax eats the difference. And slowly… people check out. Not because they’re lazy. Because the reward for working doesn’t match the cost of living anymore. Imagine: You wake up 6am 12-hour shift Come home drained And your account balance still looks like you didn’t move. At some point, people start asking: “What exactly am I working for?” That’s when the system quietly loses people. • You’re paying pension you may never enjoy. • You’re paying tax into a system you barely feel. • You’re told to “budget better” while prices keep climbing. Meanwhile, rent keeps rising like it’s on steroids. Housing is the biggest issue nobody wants to fix. Because once rent takes over half your income…, everything else becomes survival. So no, I do not believe that people living in the UK 🇬🇧 suddenly become lazy. They just realised: Working non-stop and still being broke is a different kind of poverty.

Not main character syndrome or anything but I think the people are listening to me and taking notes 📝 No need to move out of your parents home too quickly if you have the opportunity to stay and save your money! 🤝🏾

@Naimaintaipei @ornellasxo @hewantswealth How did you afford that house at 21? Parents money, surely?

@ornellasxo @hewantswealth I make more than double 75k, as an engineer, bought a house at 21, received a skilled worker visa to live in the UK, and I moved to Taiwan to work for a major conglomerate. I also topped £120,000 in my ISA. Pfft. Are you up to anything?

@AFCKizza @FfcLucan @hewantswealth Yup!

@FfcLucan @hewantswealth It's just more ragebait. If you're living with Parents, putting £1k to £1.5k in savings every month, how is that worse than someone earning 6k a month and costs are > 6k a month🤷🏿‍♂️

@hewantswealth Why are people so bothered what anyone else earns? If someone is happy and living on £35k good luck to them, what difference does it make to anyone else?
