I grew up rich and I respect it as much, if one thing I am scared of money. It brings the worse in people, it ruins lives. Money is important until you can afford your medical bills, a decent home, food and good life. After that, it's poison.
Agree with @kuhaku. Nouveau riche are often less respectfully of money than old money, because old money has seen the fakeness, the conflicts and heartbreaks it can bring. Also the urge/longing to "buy it because u couldn't before" like a revenge, simply isn't there.

Frugality is the best protection against going broke. You can be humble by just not talking about the amount of money you make/ spend. Not spending the money is how you stay rich
I dont even think he knows it. When you grow up dirt poor and you have trauma you do not ever feel wealthy. You never had the chance to ask for things and status symbols mean nothing to other poor people. I make good money now but grew up broke and if I didn't have a fiance I'd have a fold out table as a TV stand and a 400 dollar couch in a studio apartment lol. I don't like luxury items or the "finer" things. This is the only true thing I've seen these wealth channels post. Luxury exists to keep you poor. Treat yourself by spending time not money.
People like him, like me, like us that know poverty and/or deep debts... when we come back from that, dude, it's so powerful. You never see money the same and when healed, yes, our great grandkids will tell the stories :)
@@fitchner9406 I've witness this in our local families as well. the father/mother works had to be rich. The kids try to be frugal. The grandchildren's became spoiled, wasteful and ends up poor. Its a very sad cycle. I hope his grandkids wise up when cashing out those royalties in the future.
This is why i ❤ Eminem. He does what he does because he ❤️ it and wanted a stable life for his kids, not because he wanted to buy expensive things and get all kinds of asss. That's why he will always be the best.
Yeah And if you've had a life/come from a background of not having enough money to just buy anything while growing up, not even basic necessities it's really hard to shake off that "is that really necessary now?" Question running through your head even when you have a lot of money and you decide to buy something expensive. It's a mindset and sometimes I feel it's for the better but emphasis on the word sometimes. Ofc we shouldn't turn super stingy and just not even spend money on basic necessities and a Lil funtime occasionally but it mostly prevents over boarding and develops an actual sense of money's value.
It can go both ways. Either they pinch every penny because they are still in survival mode or they splurge because they were never taught how to manage. I was diagnosed with cancer at 19 and had to do chemo. I went into remission and started working and got married and we did really well for ourselves but the chemo ended up damaging my heart and I went into heart failure. The first year we went through $34k in medical bills, that’s out of pocket after insurance, pre Obama care which caused them to refuse covering things because it was “pre existing” I was blessed and we had the money saved for something else but we still had it. The next year it was $17k and I couldn’t work anymore. My hubby crumbled under the pressure of watching all of this money going to treatments and his wife was still dying so I had to let him go to save his sanity. I was put on disability but then I got worse and almost needed a transplant but instead I got a pacemaker and a defibrillator and the only meds that saved me were $810 a month. My disability barely covered my rent alone. I ended up living in my car for 8 months during the pandemic but once I got my apartment I counted every penny every single day for two years budgeting and hanging on to it for dear life. Even after 2 years of being able to work steadily I still haven’t purchased a TV or even a sofa because I am still stuck in that mentality where I can start declining again and have to stop working. I don’t think I will ever be able to stop thinking that way tbh
Man I come from poverty and make good money now, my wife comes from a rich family and blows through all my money and doesn’t understand why I care so much.. I rarely spend on myself
And the difference is clearly visible in todays artists. Whether pop artists or social media influencers. 99% of them just show off expensive stuff while lot of them are ungrateful. Cause they never had to struggle for day to day life. While celebs like eminem earned their way to top with real and raw talent.
selling demons in his music for fame. everything that's worth anything to him is short lived, meaningless. Sometimes the pride is in your choice to look at yourself so much in the mirror.

he says but this is a kid who just was godlike talent and picked up by a producer . So he made it from trailerpark to Hollywood boulevard. So no - that just his normal spending curve that hasn't been changed yet.
The question is, what's the point of all that accumulated wealth if you're not spending it? The Egyptian Pharaos proved one thing: We don't take our belongings with us to the afterlife. All the time and effort put into accumulating wealth is just wasted time and energy if you're not spending it (Artists like Eminem are maybe an exception because they follow their passion and just happen to make money with it, but I highly doubt that Jeff Bezos founded Amazon with any other intention than making money).
I mean that would be true if there weren’t also businesses that literally got wealthier by investing in and putting out advanced and competitive products
Terence Tao is said to have the highest IQ score in the world currently, with an impressive score of between 225-230.27 May 2023. Here's the smartest man alive
23 May 2022 - Eminem is one of the most successful rappers of all time. He is also estimated to have an above average intelligence with an IQ of 110-120. Tough break
I really respect him for this. Most rappers as soon as they sell 10 albums they’re out shopping for a 10 cars and a mansion with a big gate to keep their family out
It's because most rappers are black, and most black people have a chip on their shoulder and are slaves to materialism. Not to say there aren't white people out there who do the same, but it's super common with black people.
He seems very down-to-earth. I like it. Walsys liked his music even though I'm not very much into this genre and prefer heavy music. But there was something about it. Now it seems like there is more to him than meets the eye. That's interesting.
I respect em he is one of the most genuine artist in the music industry as a person, a real father, a real friend, he's just real from the core, an original OG.
@@yerereere Seems you haven't heard the news. Unfortunately, he died recently, though not much information has been released as of now. It's very saddening and it's a pretty big thing right now.
He doesn't need to be flashy because his talent speaks for itself. Em is a class act, and his daughters will never have to worry about money a day in their lives - which is all that he cares about. Good for him!
That's why you got a whole bunch of kids running around acting ungrateful and don't know the value of dollar..... Because parents did everything for them..... That's how true rich sn0bs are born
No he just came from nothing and he doesn’t want to spend his money. He’s frugal like most Middle Aged and Senior Citizen Black men. lol Truly one of us
His daughter is where his heart is. Hailey Hangs the moon and raises the sun in his world. Em loves his daughters but Hailey....you best be careful when saying her name.
@@baghousetechnician9815He raps from a semi-autobiographical point of view. It’s why so many people relate to his lyrics so you saying that completely shits on his art.
When you used to be poor and you've worked your way up you know the value of money. Someone who's just been given everything without having to work for it does not know the value.
That’s unfortunately a paradigm issue. It’s like you’re chained in a prison without even knowing it, even if you have all the money in the world. It’s a shame really. Life is short to be living in that state of mind. You have to work hard on the mind to change it. Money won’t change it.
That's because you never stopped being poor mentally and spiritually speaking. People who became rich and got there through effort realize at some point that that much money is meaningless, as long as you have a house, food and you're doing what you love, that's true fortune, no watches or clothes or any of that nonsense. Being poor is a scarcity mentality, being rich is being grateful and thankful for what you have and making the best out of it.
Well there is a simple rule: A good person who gets or who earns lots of money is getting a even more good person. And an asshole who gets or earns money is getting a even bigger asshole.

“Rich people stay rich by living like they’re broke” Luxury brands were literally created so that the semi wealthy could waste their spare income to seem even wealthier, they feed off people’s fragile egos.
I mean, I had a G-shock in my time in the army and that watch is an absolute beast 😂 That thing never ever stopped working no matter the cold, heat, water, mud, beatings and everything else.
I have a watch that had 13 months on it. Bought it years ago. Wore it to work everyday so much damage from welding it has sustained still ticking. Except for the extra month it was best £5 ever spend. Its retired. Sits pride of place next to my nokia 3310 in my drawer reminder that not everything has to be brand new and expensive to be great
😂 but does the watch alarm 🚨 beep accidentally all of a sudden and you couldn’t stop it , while you were doing some kind of secret quiet military action ? 😂😂😂
Same my mom got me one cuz I used to use my sister's and I got made fun of for it in highschool but it was actually a really good watch and I used to be out all the time so it came in handy
I really love eminem. He is so down to earth. He definitely didn't let fame go to his head. Would love to meet him. May God continue to bless you Eminem❤❤

@@loganmott2015 he invested heavily and put a lot into certain brands. As did Shaquille O'Neal and some other rappers that got smart quick. But Wayne always was a sharp one. You can tell whenever he talks he isn't a dumb kind of guy. Wouldn't be one to fall into pits like Mr Eminem did. Like addictions, expensive hobbies and baby mama drama draining his accounts. As his Slim Shady alter ego kind of telling to his more impulsive side. He learned the hard way about man's ruin. And got smarter in the process. Wayne was a bit more responsible and sensible. He is less impulsive and more cautious by nature. A thinker if you will. You can hear that when he speaks. Everything is mental. Nothing comes from emotion. He's laid back. Eminem is a very much emotionally driven character.
Exactly. In some of our heads, there's ALWAYS something to save for. In my case, it's always the emergency or rainy day account lmao Edit: not rich, but stable and comfortable
Your comment is so true. I grew up poor and I still remember the feeling of going to bed hungry. I am well off now but to this day I never let anyone throw away food because that feeling has never left me.
There was a time in my life where if I went to the store and saw a red bull I would have to do long division in my head to figure out if I could get that red bull and still have money to keep my phone connected while I sent out resumes. Fast-forward 5 years and I've clawed my way out of that abyss but I will still always pause and think "I do I really _need_ to buy this thing that isn't essential to survival?" when I want to buy anything 'nice' for myself even if it's just a drink.
This is absolutely NOT the case. Everyone thinks this is clever, but MOST people who get rich don't particularly hold on to their fortune. And other people who have rich connections SPEND like crazy..
Im not saying im rich or anything, but im doing just way better financially than before, i afford a lot of things, i can wear expensive clothing and eat at fancy restaurants, but i honestly can't bring myself to do any of that, i always felt like a stranger to that sort of lifestyle, i know that if i go to a fancy place or if i wear some expensive clothes I'll feel like that's not me.

As someone who worked in a bank... A lot of people who "look rich" usually have no money...because they waste it trying to look rich...people who look poor usually have much more money because they don't waste it trying to look rich. 😉
Poverty is traumatizing; no matter how much you have, you never quite believe it all won’t disappear at a moments notice and you’ll be back in the situation you were before
We’ve seen people blow through millions making bad decisions along the way. If not managed properly it can all go away just as quickly as it comes. I can think of several athletes and other individuals who had it all monetarily and lost it all. Even some lottery winners. Em did the right thing and asked for help from someone he could trust. We all need trusted advisers out here rather than getting caught up in impulse purchases that drain us.

Taylor Swift is a bumbling idiot who should stick to creating overly dramatic music for 12 year old girls instead of posting political ignorance on her twitter account. Trump was a president who put America and Americans first unlike Biden who helped us become poorer. You sound like a Biden voter, you owe me gas money punk
Money is an amplifier, it shows who a person is. And there is nothing wrong with spending money no matter how much the amount is, money is meant for spending.

M has such character. You will never see him being arrogant in an interview. He is always honest and humble. When we all know he's the goat!❤
When you grow up so poor you actually respect money.
or you completely go crazy and lose everything plus maybe that crazy that you will come out with depts
I grew up rich and I respect it as much, if one thing I am scared of money. It brings the worse in people, it ruins lives. Money is important until you can afford your medical bills, a decent home, food and good life. After that, it's poison.
Agree with @kuhaku. Nouveau riche are often less respectfully of money than old money, because old money has seen the fakeness, the conflicts and heartbreaks it can bring. Also the urge/longing to "buy it because u couldn't before" like a revenge, simply isn't there.

Scary that they have to have that much trust in someone else and don’t know what they could afford on their own. More need to be like Shaq. He has people helping him but he knows about his money as well.
The way he turned his life around for his daughter, the way he respects those who stood by him and those he share brotherhood with, his humility, him not running after money, him being so good at his craft, his transparency, him never wanting to chase fame or name and wanting only his music to be known.. The massive respect I have for Em ❤

Humility is your best protection against going broke and this man knows it. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Very well said!
Bars!
I truly agree. Very well said.
Frugality is the best protection against going broke. You can be humble by just not talking about the amount of money you make/ spend.
Not spending the money is how you stay rich
I dont even think he knows it. When you grow up dirt poor and you have trauma you do not ever feel wealthy. You never had the chance to ask for things and status symbols mean nothing to other poor people. I make good money now but grew up broke and if I didn't have a fiance I'd have a fold out table as a TV stand and a 400 dollar couch in a studio apartment lol. I don't like luxury items or the "finer" things. This is the only true thing I've seen these wealth channels post. Luxury exists to keep you poor. Treat yourself by spending time not money.
The most important thing in life is not to have the most but to need the least - Plato
Less loss. More Gain?
That’s part of my favorite quote of all time! I’m glad you shared this!
Yes the money is only yours temporarily it goes back to the pool after death.
Just hear this the other day in lectures on Rome. Great quote. Couldn't be more true.
Want vs need.
He never lost the fear of being poor.. and his great grandkids will thank him for that..
Then they will be poor again.
Most wealth is lost by the third generation. Gavelkind
People like him, like me, like us that know poverty and/or deep debts... when we come back from that, dude, it's so powerful. You never see money the same and when healed, yes, our great grandkids will tell the stories :)
@@fitchner9406 I've witness this in our local families as well. the father/mother works had to be rich. The kids try to be frugal. The grandchildren's became spoiled, wasteful and ends up poor. Its a very sad cycle. I hope his grandkids wise up when cashing out those royalties in the future.
By that point they just squander the money because they are spoiled and don't work to keep it.
This is why i ❤ Eminem. He does what he does because he ❤️ it and wanted a stable life for his kids, not because he wanted to buy expensive things and get all kinds of asss. That's why he will always be the best.
When you come from nothing, most of the time you appreciate what you have
Speak for yourself.
💯
More like when you come from nothing and you work for what you have, you appreciate what you have. Rappers and boxers usually blow all the money.
Yeah
And if you've had a life/come from a background of not having enough money to just buy anything while growing up, not even basic necessities it's really hard to shake off that "is that really necessary now?" Question running through your head even when you have a lot of money and you decide to buy something expensive.
It's a mindset and sometimes I feel it's for the better but emphasis on the word sometimes.
Ofc we shouldn't turn super stingy and just not even spend money on basic necessities and a Lil funtime occasionally but it mostly prevents over boarding and develops an actual sense of money's value.
It can go both ways. Either they pinch every penny because they are still in survival mode or they splurge because they were never taught how to manage. I was diagnosed with cancer at 19 and had to do chemo. I went into remission and started working and got married and we did really well for ourselves but the chemo ended up damaging my heart and I went into heart failure. The first year we went through $34k in medical bills, that’s out of pocket after insurance, pre Obama care which caused them to refuse covering things because it was “pre existing” I was blessed and we had the money saved for something else but we still had it. The next year it was $17k and I couldn’t work anymore. My hubby crumbled under the pressure of watching all of this money going to treatments and his wife was still dying so I had to let him go to save his sanity. I was put on disability but then I got worse and almost needed a transplant but instead I got a pacemaker and a defibrillator and the only meds that saved me were $810 a month. My disability barely covered my rent alone. I ended up living in my car for 8 months during the pandemic but once I got my apartment I counted every penny every single day for two years budgeting and hanging on to it for dear life. Even after 2 years of being able to work steadily I still haven’t purchased a TV or even a sofa because I am still stuck in that mentality where I can start declining again and have to stop working. I don’t think I will ever be able to stop thinking that way tbh
It seems that here we have a living example that money does not always destroy a person.Congratulations Eminem

@@tu1469damn 😢 that difference in fundamental values is a hard one to overcome. That sounds like a tough conversation
And the difference is clearly visible in todays artists. Whether pop artists or social media influencers. 99% of them just show off expensive stuff while lot of them are ungrateful. Cause they never had to struggle for day to day life. While celebs like eminem earned their way to top with real and raw talent.
Nothing more humbling than being dirt poor when you're young.
That's the reason why I like Eminem, he never forgot his humble beginnings
Or common sense
Yeah, we're practically besties.
His brand is literally built on it. He has to keep portraying himself that way even if it's not actually true.

The question is, what's the point of all that accumulated wealth if you're not spending it? The Egyptian Pharaos proved one thing: We don't take our belongings with us to the afterlife. All the time and effort put into accumulating wealth is just wasted time and energy if you're not spending it (Artists like Eminem are maybe an exception because they follow their passion and just happen to make money with it, but I highly doubt that Jeff Bezos founded Amazon with any other intention than making money).
I mean that would be true if there weren’t also businesses that literally got wealthier by investing in and putting out advanced and competitive products

Ok and if I got hundreds of millions when before I could barley afford one meal daily Ofc damn. But spend it smart so last for ever.
Gotta keep the leeches away

It's because most rappers are black, and most black people have a chip on their shoulder and are slaves to materialism. Not to say there aren't white people out there who do the same, but it's super common with black people.
They probably did not let managers take most of the profit.

When you used to be poor once again being poor is one of your biggest fears
When you used to be poor and you've worked your way up you know the value of money. Someone who's just been given everything without having to work for it does not know the value.
That’s unfortunately a paradigm issue. It’s like you’re chained in a prison without even knowing it, even if you have all the money in the world. It’s a shame really. Life is short to be living in that state of mind. You have to work hard on the mind to change it. Money won’t change it.
That's because you never stopped being poor mentally and spiritually speaking. People who became rich and got there through effort realize at some point that that much money is meaningless, as long as you have a house, food and you're doing what you love, that's true fortune, no watches or clothes or any of that nonsense.
Being poor is a scarcity mentality, being rich is being grateful and thankful for what you have and making the best out of it.
Yup. It's very hard to believe that we somehow now deserve it.
You still have scarcity mind..
These words will never let you be broke.

No matter how rich you get, that feeling of being poor never leaves you. You will scrimp and save for life.
Exactly. In some of our heads, there's ALWAYS something to save for.
In my case, it's always the emergency or rainy day account lmao
Edit: not rich, but stable and comfortable
Facts.
Your comment is so true. I grew up poor and I still remember the feeling of going to bed hungry. I am well off now but to this day I never let anyone throw away food because that feeling has never left me.
There was a time in my life where if I went to the store and saw a red bull I would have to do long division in my head to figure out if I could get that red bull and still have money to keep my phone connected while I sent out resumes. Fast-forward 5 years and I've clawed my way out of that abyss but I will still always pause and think "I do I really _need_ to buy this thing that isn't essential to survival?" when I want to buy anything 'nice' for myself even if it's just a drink.
This is absolutely NOT the case. Everyone thinks this is clever, but MOST people who get rich don't particularly hold on to their fortune. And other people who have rich connections SPEND like crazy..
A man who doesn't need more than a piece to see time has my respect.
He's definitely got the newest phone like
Bro I love my black G-Shock
Luxury Watches are not for people to see what tíme it is
Im not saying im rich or anything, but im doing just way better financially than before, i afford a lot of things, i can wear expensive clothing and eat at fancy restaurants, but i honestly can't bring myself to do any of that, i always felt like a stranger to that sort of lifestyle, i know that if i go to a fancy place or if i wear some expensive clothes I'll feel like that's not me.
Interviewer:"So,what are you wearing now?"

You mean those ones that kids have? 😂

The most deserving of his fame and wealth. So humble🙏🏻
Uh...humble? No more like PTSD. .and he's got a huge ego but unlike some - his is not delusional. He's the man
He’s a satanist
@@ADHDMartialArtsFiend-vw3fjmore interesting facts: Eminem may actually have aspergers not sure it he has been officially diagnosed but there is plenty of speculative evidence that may suggest it could
Be true.. he also talks about it in his songs.. which may clue in as to why what you said may hold truth
@solemagus4761 definitions change over time too. Anthony Hopkins on the spectrum...it can sometimes be subtle in terms of outward appearance
lol humble it seems
Probably one of the only A list rapper that don’t spend on hella chains and watches and brand name shit. Respect
He respects money. He doesn't spend it in frivoulus shit.
@@mandyensign1362
LOL did you just read the "he respects money comment" and thought "Hey, that comment got a lot of likes. I will repeat what that person said and get likes, too" ? 😂
Possible alternative: I am talking to a bot.
50 cent doesn't buy designer clothes
@@stacknsat designer jewelry is still brand name. I didn’t say clothes
Girl, would you be willing to show meh your hairy HAIRY beaver?
I like to see him now. He has grown and now knows that his family is the most important. He is real and tells people of his past. I live in Detroit suburbs and I am familiar with areas he grew up in. Rough neighborhoods proud that he made it without forgetting his past and his home and hasn’t let fame go to his head or change him to much We luv him here in Michigan
When you’ve counted pennies shopping for groceries, that stress will never leave you.
I know that’s right!! And when you PRAY that EBT purchase clears at the check out line…. That’s a feeling you NEVER forget.
Right? I'm out with the calculator every time making sure I stay in my limits.
Me too. A lot of us struggle and mostly from no fault of ours.
Dude, yes!!! That shit sucks! So embarrassing not having enough for the shittiest food as well! Lol
He’s clearly a real one, humble with it too.
As someone who worked in a bank... A lot of people who "look rich" usually have no money...because they waste it trying to look rich...people who look poor usually have much more money because they don't waste it trying to look rich. 😉
True & False
False and narrow-minded
Its because poor to middle class people care more about looking rich
Nope,your statements is truly false. It depends on every person
That's how society is programmed to be nowadays. I don't understand the effort of trying to look the part if it leads to poverty.
Poverty is traumatizing; no matter how much you have, you never quite believe it all won’t disappear at a moments notice and you’ll be back in the situation you were before
That's exactly right. Damn straight.
We’ve seen people blow through millions making bad decisions along the way. If not managed properly it can all go away just as quickly as it comes. I can think of several athletes and other individuals who had it all monetarily and lost it all. Even some lottery winners.
Em did the right thing and asked for help from someone he could trust. We all need trusted advisers out here rather than getting caught up in impulse purchases that drain us.
Yes, this right here. Exactly this. Wise words, BGeezy4sheezy
Never really thought about it like that before but this post makes me realize how poor I was growing up.
Sucks when it actually does happen again lol. Just gotta keep fighting
Full respect to you Slim Shady, so honest, humble, sincere, modest...Some things, no amount of money, fame, status,power can buy. Butvto the humble poor, pure of heart, things like real, true love are free and abundant.
This is a smart person...don't ever let the money control you. Once you're on top your only job is to stay there 💯
💯%
Guy bought an NFT idk .-.
Isn't your comment exactly how money controls a person (A bunch of sleepless nights just to stay on top)?
@@kizito8888 you stay in control by keeping your wealth or you can lose control along with your wealth. You can be the pilot or a passenger. I prefer the former because I wouldn't want to know what it feels like to lose everything due to ignorance. How it can control you is by making it your only motivating factor.
"Your only job" lol
the real definition of humble right here
Yeah, all of his violent songs and admitting to serving the devil is so humble.. 💀 He's far from humble.
LoL believe that if you want to 😂
@@seandenham3156Humble and immoral are two different things, I advise if you wanna comment something as stupid as that just shut your mouth.
humble or tight ?
Being a tight ass = humility? Bro thats not even close to humility.
As CS Lewis said, humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less. Nothing to do with money
“I asked if I can afford it but, They make fun of me for it.” Bro can’t stop rapping fr
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Besides my appreciation for his music, I also like that he's very down to earth and not materialistic.
Thank you Eminem for teach young stars real life
