Bro you don't want to be financially stable, you want to be idolizes and to feel special. You mesmerized over the 2012 rolls Royce over being financially comfortable enough to just not stress about money.
@driipyv I was keeping it PG. It just seems to be focus on such a fancy car like a rolls Royce and not having any stability yet seems like you don't want money, you want to be popular.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! I totally see where you’re coming from, and I appreciate the honesty. Focusing on something as luxurious as a Rolls-Royce while not having stability might seem like putting the cart before the horse, but for some people, big dreams act as a motivator to work harder and strive for more. That being said, you’re absolutely right that stability is key-it’s the foundation for achieving any long-term goals. Without a solid plan, chasing popularity or material things can lead to empty successes. True wealth isn’t just about what you have; it’s about creating a life where you feel secure, fulfilled, and prepared for whatever comes next. But I also think it’s okay to love cars and to dream big about them! For some people, cars are more than just transportation-they’re a passion, an art form, or even a symbol of personal achievement. If someone finds inspiration in something like a Rolls-Royce, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The important part is balancing those dreams with practical steps to build a stable foundation. So, thank you again for the reminder-it’s a valuable perspective! Dreaming big is great, but pairing it with a plan for stability ensures those dreams don’t just remain wishes but become a sustainable reality.
@@driipyv everyone left for Miami, Vegas, Houston, Dallas and Atlanta. L.A and NYC are on a major decline. Top state for small business growth and black business owners is Texas for the last few years. They are building McMansions everywhere in TX and many have flocked to TX. Lots of famous people now live in TX.
@@driipyv My bad not trying to sound negative Cali is still always going to be a good state you can thrive here It’s just not what it was Entertainment is dead here now. Got to think outside the box Also the nightlife is dead
OMG, we have so many similarities in our lives😂🥲🙏🏿. I left Atlanta for Los Angeles in 2021 during the end of Covid-19. I also tried revamping my RUclips, singing, acting, dancing, writing, entrepreneurship with my old azz at 58. Bro, thank God for your roof. I’ve been living in my car for 4 years this summer 2025. The good news, I have a nice job in Beverly Hills but it came with pain and suffering. I also re/established 10 of my former companies. At the end of the day, we are alive. You are much younger. You will get it together 💯.
@ I’m on RUclips but I’m not connecting to people. I have a little over 100 followers 😂. I’ve been in my MERCEDES going on 4 years this summer. I stay warm and cool and they have a 24 hrs showers at “Refresh Spot LA” in DTLA. This homeless journey from Atlanta to LA supposed to been 30 days. Then 6 months then 4 years minus 6 months in a tiny home shelter. I have 5 college degrees and I can always return to teaching. But, as of now, I’m stacking bread for my Homebuilder & Finance company. When I couldn’t get venture capital, private equity, etc., I made the difficult decision to live in my car and forgo an apartment to SAVE. Now, I have out of 58 years, more money than in my teens, 20s, 30s, 40s and early 50s. I’m blessed bro👍🏿💯💰🙏🏿!
You have a plan. You know what you’re doing . Be careful tho. People in these comments for some reason(not my subscribers) are hating on people that struggle for some reason.

California has many opportunities available but you have to put God in it, pray, stay focused and do the research. People run to L.A. but always ignore the reasonable areas to start & grow. Places like Sacramento, Yuba City/Marysville, Palmdale/Lancaster, Victorville/Hesperia and plenty more are less than a hundred miles from Major Cities like L.A. These cities offer good jobs, affordable living and great recreation choices. I lost everything 6 years ago. I left the Bay Area and moved to Sacramento after losing everything. I was able to find a good job, buy a house, purchase my dream car all on one income & high school education. There is no way in hell I could have done that in LA or the Bay Area. Something to always remember that I learned, when things are at its roughest, that's what a blessing is about to come through. Don't be stupid and give up right before the door opens. Pray harder, stay determined and you will in many cases end up with more than what you thought was possible. I know I did.
Wow, thank you for sharing such a powerful story-it’s clear you’ve been through a lot and come out stronger for it. Your journey is a true testament to resilience, faith, and the power of perseverance. I completely agree with you about putting God first and staying focused. Prayer and determination are such important anchors when life feels overwhelming. It's inspiring to hear how you turned a difficult chapter into a triumphant one, especially when you mentioned losing everything but still finding a way to rebuild your life and even surpass what you thought was possible. That’s such a powerful reminder for anyone going through tough times. You make a great point about looking beyond the big, flashy cities like L.A. and the Bay Area. So many people are drawn to the hype without realizing there are hidden gems like Sacramento, Palmdale, and Victorville that offer opportunities and a better quality of life. Affordable living, good jobs, and great recreation options can absolutely make a huge difference when you’re starting over or trying to build something sustainable. I love what you said about blessings often coming when things are at their roughest. It’s so true that those moments of struggle often lead to breakthroughs, but only if we don’t give up. Your advice to pray harder and stay determined is something everyone needs to hear. Sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that setbacks can be setups for something greater. Thank you again for sharing your experience-it’s both practical and deeply inspiring. Stories like yours remind us that even when the odds seem stacked against us, with faith, focus, and perseverance, we can turn things around in ways we never imagined. Wishing you continued blessings and success on your journey!

I just moved back home from California. I got robbed, jacked, got. Ultimately, I learned more about myself and recognized many things. ❤❤❤ I did grow a lot though.
Brother, why didn’t you take you could make where you came from first then decide if you truly “need” to move? If you can, go home and work hard from home. You should challenge yourself over the next 90 days to post a RUclips video about your delusion of grandeur that led you to move to LA. A lot of people need to get delivered from this folly that it’s the location that bring success versus CONSISTENCY! Work ethic brings success. I wish you all the best brother. Post daily!! You don’t have a choice. ❤

@@driipyv Find cheap areas that are located near big cities. this way ypou can commute for more money but live in a place for a lower cost of living. for ex i live in jersey but work in ny
Thank you young man for sharing the honest truth of your current life circumstances due to your mindset. I have biological brothers who look at me like I’m suppose to help them take care of their kids because I’m their aunt w no kids and skillsets in project management which is a very stressful career field, especially for Black women. Plus, my family NEVER have given me even a greeting card in my lifetime. My point: like you have come to realize, living in LA is not what many outsiders or folks looking at videos of LA think. The cost of living in LA is higher than most other large cities. Plus, Transportation in LA can be very challenging especially depending upon your location and where you need to commute. I sincerely wish you the best but you might want to re-think your “WHY” for living in Los Angeles county? Maybe living in a less expensive city would make sense? Also, a lot of people in LA are recipients of “old money” or have education or skillsets that allow them to flourish in LA such as engineering, doctors, some filmmakers, some actors, musicians, producers, nurses, or folks who own businesses (restaurants, beauty supply, car washes, dry cleaners and other profitable businesses) that have been and are successful. Wishing you the best in 2025 in content creation!!! Btw, what’s your retirement plan and medical expenses plan?
Never stop giving up on your dreams go for it I’m sorry that’s happened to you bro …. Never ever let nobody tell you You can’t do it all you have to do just put your mind towards it and come out on top Life is just a journey Just have to make use of it
Success leaves clues: find someone who’s made it the way you want to make it and study their success. Or even better work for them or have them mentor you. If you want wealth, you have to study wealth - not just leave it to fate. Surround yourself with a circle of like-minded friends that will encourage you to persevere when you want to party. The best books I’ve read on the subject of success: “The Richest Man in Babylon;” “Think and Grow Rich” and “The One Minute Millionaire.”
you're absolutely right. I'm going to watch some videos and read multiple articles on wealth right now!. Im going to start studying wealthy people as well. Thank you for your input.
Probabaly just need to disconnect, reassess you life.. location doesnt equal success, but after you gain confidence again being in a equally as big city could work. i went from growing up in london to moving to norway and beeen using this time to reset ... now im ready to start delivering
Hey man. RUclips recommended your video to me. I'm born and raised here in Los Angeles. If my family was not here, along with the music business (that I chose to be a part of), I probably would have left a long time ago. I find that many people come to LA with stars in their eyes thinking it will change their life-- and it can. But, I've also seen this city eat people alive, chew them up, and spit them out. You seem like you have a good head on your shoulders. You also moved to LA in the worst possible time in the last century to move to LA., during a global pandemic. Covid time-warp is a real thing. Hard to believe it's 2025 already. Keep your head up, and stay grinding!
this may sound cliche but youre right . this is THE MOST IMPORTANT question you can ask yourself. It directs your path in life. You have to find something you love to do
I was in the position you were in bro STAY POSITIVE. Did you self sabotage? hell yes. I did as well. You basically have to find your purpose. You cannot be aimless in life. Create a specific plan and if you detour into alternate paths thats fine but stay the course. you need to create short and long term goals. AND REDUCE YOUR EXPENSES. if you have to move out of LA do that. Expenses are everything. shitlike weed is a want not a need. theres room to trim that budget. Thats a longer conversation but you have to downside and re strategize on what you actually want to do besides youtube. Otherwise what are you documenting? Peace brother!
I've been here 62 years and i am kinda sick of it but where do I go u gotta take the bitter with the sweet and go from there every where there's gonna be an imperfection in this world 🌎🌎🌎
Dude, You’re living in one of the most expensive places on the planet, expect to be a content creator and expect to be rich?? You needed to come to LA with a skill - go to law school, sales, money management, something that you can make bare minimum six figures on. Content creation takes time and if you have a skill (you’re a lawyer) you can build content around that skill.
@@driipyv could have and would have. Poof. Four years are gone. Don't be a lawyer. But be something that will guarantee you a high income. Another four years go by. It's 2028. Where are you? What is your job?
My girl said she went to Wingstop in LA and got a 10piece, no fries just carrots. And it was 32dollarz 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 if tha wings were high priced then you can only imagine........
Man forget that rolls Royce for now bro stack that paper invest in stocks and crypto you’ll be able to get a new nice one any rolls for 90k ain’t going to be good for you
RUclips is good but you have to do what you love. Be passionate and make it interesting. Even driving around, with a good cellphone and camera, you can post sightseeing content and show us a day in your life. All of that is interesting. Or, you are young enough. Apply for a grant and take some acting or film production classes. Go that route
You should moved to Atlanta, Charlotte NC aka the south where most black Americans are where you have more economic/political freedom-power Yes it’s up to each individual to charter their own destiny!! But you should have done research on California and why it’s declining in population/economics etc! That’s why the black population in California is now at 5% & declining and are moving back to the black American south (Louisiana-Carolina’s/maryland-delaware) Doing things out of emotions instead of planning/research will always be a failure! Hopefully you learn from this ! And come 2025 you relocate to Atlanta where there more opportunities for black America You going off the “Hollywood Ora” via tv shows from the 90s 🥴 is an illusion! That’s not real ! Beverly Hills is old Money being pass down!
It sucks but "being fake" is something you probably already do if you live read ads on your you tube channel. TRY THESE RAZORS I LOVE lol. Razors which you may have never used, you get my point. But if you are really going to be an entrepreneur and try and get more and more deals from time to time you have to change characters "being fake". You will not go into a meeting where they have all the leverage and you can just be non chalant and let the deal come to you. You will sometimes have to perform = Be fake. At the end of the day most of all business comes down to customer service and telling people what they want to hear, not what you want to say, will win more often than not.
I Don't Feel Sorry For You. Get Out Of Dodge And Reset...And I Mean Back Home And Not To Atlanta As There's Many You's There As Well. LA Will Make U Sell Ur Bussy So Be Careful.
Dude, you picked the wrong state. CALI and NY are on a decline. The new small business and content creator states are GA/Atlanta, Houston/TX or Dallas/TX and Miami/FL. Everyone is fleeing CA for those states.
@@driipyv I moved across country to build a small business in TX and succeeded in 2 year. I now own 2 cars that cost over 70k and a McMansion. Also, research. Those cities are very popular on social media and people are constantly posting to move to those cities. Lastly, statistics regarding states GDP, business growth, state declines, city declines, growth of states, real estate growth and economy will tell you where to go and where the money is going and being made.
I like the accountability but don't gaslight yourself. Most of the people driving these fancy cars around are perfect idiots who simply inherited better life circumstances. You could lock in and be marginally above-average income-wise and chances are it still wouldn't be enough to buy a house in Los Angeles, let alone make car payments on a Bentley.
Thankfully we still young bro we got time to run it up if you play your cards right. Work save your bread be realistic we are not getting the Lambo bruh 😂 regular schmegular life with a safety fund and bankroll is enough.

thanks dad
@@driipyvhe’s actually giving you some solid advice bro.. just learn from your mistakes and grow don’t get defensive when someone tries to help you be a better person
thanks unc
@@driipyv 😂 I can be unc all day it still don’t change the fact that you have the wrong mindset dawg… I’m not even trying to put you down, I’m just saying bro you not the first to go through this period in life so just listen and keep it pushing
I completely understand, thanks pop
LA,ATL and NYC are places alot of people ive known of regret moving too. And then they move out. 😶
Those places are nice . Everyone is different and has a different story . It’s never the same circumstances.
@@driipyv Find cheap areas that are located near big cities. this way ypou can commute for more money but live in a place for a lower cost of living. for ex i live in jersey but work in ny
Interesting take. Thanks for commenting.
Thank you young man for sharing the honest truth of your current life circumstances due to your mindset.
I have biological brothers who look at me like I’m suppose to help them take care of their kids because I’m their aunt w no kids and skillsets in project management which is a very stressful career field, especially for Black women. Plus, my family NEVER have given me even a greeting card in my lifetime.
My point: like you have come to realize, living in LA is not what many outsiders or folks looking at videos of LA think. The cost of living in LA is higher than most other large cities. Plus, Transportation in LA can be very challenging especially depending upon your location and where you need to commute.
I sincerely wish you the best but you might want to re-think your “WHY” for living in Los Angeles county? Maybe living in a less expensive city would make sense?
Also, a lot of people in LA are recipients of “old money” or have education or skillsets that allow them to flourish in LA such as engineering, doctors, some filmmakers, some actors, musicians, producers, nurses, or folks who own businesses (restaurants, beauty supply, car washes, dry cleaners and other profitable businesses) that have been and are successful.
Wishing you the best in 2025 in content creation!!! Btw, what’s your retirement plan and medical expenses plan?
That was deep! I am going to use all of that!
So you didn’t take your advantage of rent free so you thought you was gonna take advantage when you was paying rent that’s not that smart to me
If your goal was to build something online why did you need to move?
It was time to leave mommy’s house 🏡
Never stop giving up on your dreams go for it
I’m sorry that’s happened to you bro …. Never ever let nobody tell you
You can’t do it all you have to do just put your mind towards it and come out on top
Life is just a journey
Just have to make use of it
@trevonsaddler3839 The lessons I learned are paramount to my journey
Success leaves clues: find someone who’s made it the way you want to make it and study their success. Or even better work for them or have them mentor you. If you want wealth, you have to study wealth - not just leave it to fate. Surround yourself with a circle of like-minded friends that will encourage you to persevere when you want to party. The best books I’ve read on the subject of success: “The Richest Man in Babylon;” “Think and Grow Rich” and “The One Minute Millionaire.”
you're absolutely right. I'm going to watch some videos and read multiple articles on wealth right now!. Im going to start studying wealthy people as well. Thank you for your input.
Never stop brodie
I won’t
Great outlook. You are absolutely so beautiful and handsome. A strong black king.❤
Thank you for the kind words 🙏

Hey man. RUclips recommended your video to me. I'm born and raised here in Los Angeles. If my family was not here, along with the music business (that I chose to be a part of), I probably would have left a long time ago. I find that many people come to LA with stars in their eyes thinking it will change their life-- and it can. But, I've also seen this city eat people alive, chew them up, and spit them out. You seem like you have a good head on your shoulders. You also moved to LA in the worst possible time in the last century to move to LA., during a global pandemic. Covid time-warp is a real thing. Hard to believe it's 2025 already. Keep your head up, and stay grinding!
Appreciate the advice man. I'm still here, and I'm still grinding! 🙏
there is no dream in LA

You don’t know those people life. Those people driving those cars got there cuz their parents dude lol
Lol that’s crazy
they were born with a golden spoon in their mouths.
yk what I agree.
I think the thing you lack is passion. WHAT ARE YOU? WHO R U.?What do you want the world to know? In answering that, you’ll find your audience!
Thanks for your input . Happy New Year 🎈
this may sound cliche but youre right . this is THE MOST IMPORTANT question you can ask yourself. It directs your path in life. You have to find something you love to do
Focus on finding your purpose. Not the money. If you don't, you will be in the same place next year. I know from experience
You're right, gotta find that purpose.
I say this all the time it's not what you know it's WHO you know.
I think its a little bit of both!
Thanks for commenting brother!
I was in the position you were in bro STAY POSITIVE. Did you self sabotage? hell yes. I did as well. You basically have to find your purpose. You cannot be aimless in life. Create a specific plan and if you detour into alternate paths thats fine but stay the course. you need to create short and long term goals. AND REDUCE YOUR EXPENSES. if you have to move out of LA do that. Expenses are everything. shitlike weed is a want not a need. theres room to trim that budget. Thats a longer conversation but you have to downside and re strategize on what you actually want to do besides youtube. Otherwise what are you documenting? Peace brother!
See i like this comment .
Real asf and not fake or trolling or bs. I appreciate you man
@@driipyv I know you can do it bro. 2025 is your year!!!!
Lets gooooooooo!
I've been here 62 years and i am kinda sick of it but where do I go u gotta take the bitter with the sweet and go from there every where there's gonna be an imperfection in this world 🌎🌎🌎
I completely agree! Thanks for your comments.
You have to act on what you want. You have to put in everything.
EVERY SINGLE CELL I GOT IN THIS BODY!! IM PUTTING IT ALL ON THE LINE
Dude, You’re living in one of the most expensive places on the planet, expect to be a content creator and expect to be rich?? You needed to come to LA with a skill - go to law school, sales, money management, something that you can make bare minimum six figures on. Content creation takes time and if you have a skill (you’re a lawyer) you can build content around that skill.
Idky everyone keep telling me to be a lawyer . I do not like cops, the court or none of that bs 💀💀💀💀💀
And addressing your other comments . Could’ve should’ve would’ve
@@driipyv could have and would have. Poof. Four years are gone. Don't be a lawyer. But be something that will guarantee you a high income. Another four years go by. It's 2028. Where are you? What is your job?
Just pray for me brother. Thats all I need.
At least now, you know to do your research next time you want to make ANY big move of ANY kind.
I gotta do something too bro RUclips, business something ninjas tired thinking the same going same environment all that but good video 💯👌🏽
Bro there’s so many businesses you can start. I believe in you 💯
This our year . No more games .
People forget there’s more to California than LA county. I’d move to Riverside or Orange County
I forgot how Riverside looks. I haven’t been there in a while .
My girl said she went to Wingstop in LA and got a 10piece, no fries just carrots. And it was 32dollarz 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 if tha wings were high priced then you can only imagine........

Everything is so much 😭
Man forget that rolls Royce for now bro stack that paper invest in stocks and crypto you’ll be able to get a new nice one any rolls for 90k ain’t going to be good for you
Yeah, I'm getting into some more stable stuff now.
Happy New Year Too!
RUclips is good but you have to do what you love. Be passionate and make it interesting. Even driving around, with a good cellphone and camera, you can post sightseeing content and show us a day in your life. All of that is interesting. Or, you are young enough. Apply for a grant and take some acting or film production classes. Go that route
interesting
Sounds like a good idea
dropshipping, 6 youtube channels, side hustles, is it impossible to get a normal career?
Nothing’s impossible!

@driipyvlogs u can look at futures trading. There are companies that will give fund if you know what u doing
Got it bro. Thanks for the tips . And happy New year 🎈
Don't give up 👆
Never

You should moved to Atlanta, Charlotte NC aka the south where most black Americans are where you have more economic/political freedom-power Yes it’s up to each individual to charter their own destiny!! But you should have done research on California and why it’s declining in population/economics etc! That’s why the black population in California is now at 5% & declining and are moving back to the black American south (Louisiana-Carolina’s/maryland-delaware)
Doing things out of emotions instead of planning/research will always be a failure! Hopefully you learn from this ! And come 2025 you relocate to Atlanta where there more opportunities for black America You going off the “Hollywood Ora” via tv shows from the 90s 🥴 is an illusion! That’s not real ! Beverly Hills is old Money being pass down!
Thanks for the insight .
I don’t think Atlanta is for me at all, or NC 🤣🤣
Where you live at? I’m sure it’s one of the two
You gotta hit rock bottom before you reach the top
I agree with this heavy 😎💡
There are places for you to make quick money in LA. Do you want the locations?
Tbh no. I’m alright
I am building every single day . Money will come
It sucks but "being fake" is something you probably already do if you live read ads on your you tube channel. TRY THESE RAZORS I LOVE lol. Razors which you may have never used, you get my point. But if you are really going to be an entrepreneur and try and get more and more deals from time to time you have to change characters "being fake".
You will not go into a meeting where they have all the leverage and you can just be non chalant and let the deal come to you. You will sometimes have to perform = Be fake. At the end of the day most of all business comes down to customer service and telling people what they want to hear, not what you want to say, will win more often than not.
You're right, you need to know your audience!
Good luck!
@@FirstLast-dy4gt thank you ! & Happy New Year
I Don't Feel Sorry For You. Get Out Of Dodge And Reset...And I Mean Back Home And Not To Atlanta As There's Many You's There As Well. LA Will Make U Sell Ur Bussy So Be Careful.

WHY would ANYONE want to move TO LA?????
The beautiful mountains . The weather is great. A lot of opportunities here. Wealth. Space.
I like it . I didn’t want to move to a state where things aren’t happening
Bro thinks a mindset is going to get him places lol.
Maybe not everything, but definitely something.
Food trucks you know them they posted up everywhere food is some people Hustle and security work
I dont get what you mean
@driipyv I'm in Los Angeles in the food truck business seems to be something people really do get into
ohh ok. I just watched a video of like a day in the life of a food truck owner. It was pretty dope. What food do you sell?
@@driipyv I have friends that sell hotdogs and snacks to concertgoers and people who are going to see games
Dude, you picked the wrong state. CALI and NY are on a decline. The new small business and content creator states are GA/Atlanta, Houston/TX or Dallas/TX and Miami/FL. Everyone is fleeing CA for those states.
All good. I’ll make it anywhere . It’s depends on me . Doesn’t matter where I’m at .
Also, how do you know exactly ? Do you make content .
@@driipyv I moved across country to build a small business in TX and succeeded in 2 year. I now own 2 cars that cost over 70k and a McMansion.
Also, research. Those cities are very popular on social media and people are constantly posting to move to those cities.
Lastly, statistics regarding states GDP, business growth, state declines, city declines, growth of states, real estate growth and economy will tell you where to go and where the money is going and being made.
oh wow ! Keep killing it. 🤑
Im very proud of you!
try Thailand
#thaiwave
I always wanted to go
I like the accountability but don't gaslight yourself. Most of the people driving these fancy cars around are perfect idiots who simply inherited better life circumstances. You could lock in and be marginally above-average income-wise and chances are it still wouldn't be enough to buy a house in Los Angeles, let alone make car payments on a Bentley.
