This is so true, this could have happened to anyone in any field of work, this wasn't about Hollywood doing him wrong, it was more about him not understanding finance!
@silvercat6425, Yes, you are absolutely correct! How many times have we heard this same sad story from many celebrities, musicians, athletes, etc. They need good lawyers, accountants, trusted financial advisors, and solid mentors. It seems they don't understand as independent contractors, they must protect their assets and set up multiple streams of income and budget, to keep money flowing during the lean times. Their jobs are based on contracts, gigs, projects, movies, etc., with no long-term guarantees! Not judging, just an observation. I love their perseverance to keep their family together!
Truly. You don't get to spend frivolous, lack any form of planning, then act like it's on God to bail you out. If someone knocking on your door giving you 5 minutes to vacate, you were fully warned repeatedly well before hand. Financial training it not, he was old enough to understand and know the very rudimentary basics.
Give RECOGNITION and PRAISE to SHANICE !!! She sang "Saving Forever For You" and this shows that she's HONEST as well as MEANT EVERY WORD !!! Everyone on earth is searching for someone who would do what she did. " Can You Stand The Rain" by New Edition is the Idea...
Idk why these celebrities don’t cash buy their homes. Y’all can work any job to pay property taxes. Even if your lights and water get turned off, you still have a roof over your head.
I hear u, sometimes at times we just don’t have all the answers but u if u keep living hopefully u keep learning and it look Flex and Shanice learned very well as we all should 👌
When you put GOD first there is no second place. "Turn to each other. Not turn on each other." Words that should be part of and spoken at every wedding vow ceremony.
A lot of people who’ve put this manmade myth first, are suffering with impoverishment. Stop spreading this Eurocentric nonsense. How about learning to seek guidance and communing with the Ancestors, and accepting their guidance.
So you want the Lord to send you a work mule and a woman to use and she must accept you at nothing when the Bible says you are an infidel The audacity of you bringing the good Lord in your mess
….Last of black queens settling for struggle bandits that cant support themselves let alone their family‼️there, I fixed it for u! He mismanaged his funds and all u took from it was SHE is the last of a dying breed? Bunch of BETAs😒
they stuck with each other, that's a beautiful thing. it's called UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. learn that people. they weren't on drugs, they weren't letting others in their life, they just had a hard time, called life. i love them together. don't give up guys. you will figure it out.
He didn’t take the Hollywood contract to give up the booty that’s why everything he did was based on his talent and integrity. I use to like seeing him on tv when I was a kid.
Nah. He was replaced by the younger more popular Nick Canon. In the entertainment industry, as your buzz fades, you are replaced with a fresher version of your 'persona'
@@Konstant He's right.. Almost everyone in the Industry are Christians and believe in god and still do the most dirt.. So. god has nothing to do with..
Because she was going off to college in LA that’s why they changed I wish they would’ve continued with her going to university of Maryland that way Spirit and Dwayne would still be a character
@preciousjacob6108 100% agree. Unfortunately in our culture it's not something taught initially, when our parents never made real money. Usually we have to learn through error or pay someone to show us.
*One on One was great show and One of the best in 2000s sitcoms* Flex was great. People listen when comes to money & finances especially when you get alot of money *DON'T LIVE BEYOND YOUR EARNINGS* whetheryour actor, athlete, or construction worker. *Always keep a steady part-time job that can transfer into a full-time if your financial situation changes* like Construction, Junk Removal, Sanitation, Traffic Control, Security officer. If your millionaire and you get 10 Million you dont buy a house or car for 1 Million, you get one for 125,000 pay cash. Invest the rest in companies that you own, educate yourself on real estate,and put the rest into savings or a trust for your childern and grand children. SAVE, SAVE, SAVE spend only when necessary
She is the type of woman every man deserve in their life. She is a ride or die Queen. Am happy they were able to pick up themselves and brush off the loads, start over and balance everything out. God will forever bless this union.
The more money you make, the more you spend. Being broke, & not being able to pay your bills, ain't no joke ‼️ It can send you into a deep depression. I'm glad they're doing better now. God is good.👏🏿
Loved this comment...❤ I always thought as I was growing up trying to build a career "if only I was making more money things would be different.".. But it wasn't as simple as that. The higher up the socio economic ladder I climbed the more pressures around to spend money, buy nicer things, help out family, etc Basically do the things I wasn't able to do when I didn't have the money to.... It's really easy to judge ex pro athletes or entertainers from a distance for going broke since they made a ton of money(multi millions) but the reality is really different... Unless you're extremely disciplined and resolute in your spending ways, you'll end up behind the curve..
25k a week for 3 years is no excuse flex too go broke but im Happy your thru it nd they had real friends nd real love! Beautiful see them go thru it.. i play her song too my kids like every other day ❤
had to skip the middle and see the good results at the end of this. big huge fan of these two love them and how they are a wonderful representation of how God wants us to live and give him the glory. so glad they are worth 5 mil but we know they are worth an eternity of riches
The police don't just show up and tell you to leave. You had to ignore warnings from the banks and the courts before the police show up and say the property isn't yours anymore.
Never Give Up! Flex & Shanice were blessed from the start. Even in person, the couple exudes high vibrations. I had the honor of meeting Flex & congratulating him while he was doing standup! I want to see One on One get a reboot...Flex & Shanice could do their own sitcom also because they are The Ones! Btw, the MJ movie needs remixing now because Flex' acting was Spot On! Much Love & Appreciation to you & family, Flex!
Wow, seeing Flex Alexander’s journey from ‘One On One’ to facing such tough times really puts life into perspective, doesn’t it? It’s heartwarming to see how Shanice stood by him through thick and thin. Isn’t that the mark of true love? They’re a testament to sticking together and facing life’s challenges. I believe they’re a beautiful couple destined for blessings.
Hopefully they do bring it Back it only make sense way more Wisdom and Education can be apply This was a Dope Episode Soulful Screen Thank You for taking the time to make this Flex is a LIVING LEGEND
It's a hard lesson to learn when you get the opportunity to gain so much and not know how to be responsible for what you have. You must be wise with your finances all the time. Especially prepare for those lean times which may suddenly come into your life. Think about those lottery winners that hit it big and spend big. I'm so happy times have gotten better for a wonderful couple.
When I think of this show I get sad remember watching this with my sister in 28 now cherish your moments you have with family it goes fast the intro top tier 💯
Now that was a story worth hearing ❤. I'm so glad they withstood the storm and came out strong. And now we get to watch the reruns on T.V. , I have always enjoyed his show. I pray he continue to reap his royalties. 😊
wow rhis video is great and deserved MILLIONS if views, quality of vid : great, content: great an d educational. finacial educatiin is SO IMPORTANT.... I am happy they made it and that they are happy.
One of my favorite couples Flex a great hip hop dancer, comedian actor . The beautiful Shanice one the most underrated singers her vocals are superior. Love them wishing all them all the best always.
''One on One'' was a great show !!!!!!!!!! They never should have changed the format of the show in season five. Flex and Dwanye were the key to the show insulting each other in a comedy kind of friendship way. Knowing that the other guy always has his back in a great friendship way.
I grew up on Flex’s hit show, and I hope that the gets the green light for the reboot. Plus, I would love to see Flex in some Tyler Perry movies and TV show
"Don't give up! Don't turn on each other, turn to each other " -Flex Alexander
He should have stayed with Serena Williams. Or at least impregnated her.The child support checks would still be rolling in!

Beautiful, they endured the ups and downs in the marriage and stayed together. May the Most High Heavenly Father continue to enrich and keep them.
Given praise and credit to a manmade image/icon. Give ThAnkhs, to the Ancestors, for their guidance.

Save your money and be smart with it…
@@kwasiaking1989finally a smart person
Look at all the people under you who hate God smh.
He and his beautiful wife stayed together through something that typically breaks a family apart. Their perseverance is beautiful
They're a gorgeous couple and that's true love.
Idk why these celebrities don’t cash buy their homes. Y’all can work any job to pay property taxes. Even if your lights and water get turned off, you still have a roof over your head.
I always thought the same about the about the guys in the NFL/NBA.
I hear u, sometimes at times we just don’t have all the answers but u if u keep living hopefully u keep learning and it look Flex and Shanice learned very well as we all should 👌
Dave Chapelle did just this.
The better option is to build it, given that they have cash.
Lack of financial literacy and foresight
I love their story of sticking together❣
Right! I’ve loved them since the 2000s! So old school, hard to find that kind of love.

Stop
Ignorant
Eh…. he ain’t lying… she’s rare
Flex is a stand up guy. I wish the family all the best.

Thats why people need to stick up
And its okay to stay in a Small Home
Or a Apartment
He didn’t take the Hollywood contract to give up the booty that’s why everything he did was based on his talent and integrity. I use to like seeing him on tv when I was a kid.
Omg it’s that dumb narrative again. Turn to your god to get rid of that nasty hate you have on you
Him playing Michael Jackson killed his career lol

i love how she saw greatness in him & even when hit rock bottom. We all know Flex is more talented than most
"Don't turn on each other, but turn to each other."
I hated the last few seasons of One on One. I never understood why they changed the whole show up.
Because she was going off to college in LA that’s why they changed I wish they would’ve continued with her going to university of Maryland that way Spirit and Dwayne would still be a character
@@JabrenHarris98 right! That would’ve been much better
Sicilly said when The CW bought out UPN they wanted to go into a different direction to cater to the “Other Audience”
I agree. It was so much h funnier early on.
@@DreThaOnedaTV85 ohhh! That makes sense hence adding the white and Asian character as well as Ray J a celebrity.
Glad this brother was able to bounce back. Financial literacy is something everyone should learn from middle school on up.

I always loved the spirit they projected as a couple. Yes, bring back one on one.
What a beautiful couple, so full of talent, peace & blessings 🙏
She is the type of woman every man deserve in their life. She is a ride or die Queen. Am happy they were able to pick up themselves and brush off the loads, start over and balance everything out. God will forever bless this union.
I liked that commend Flex made: "Don't turn away from each other, turn to each other" in times like that.
