    Thank you for helping me to get off the plantation. I also listened to the video y'all did with Dr. Kimani.( I hope I spelled her name correctly). After that video,I was over it. I quit my job two days before my 56th birthday. I have started an ecommerce business,a business consulting business and am working on a DIY course for those who are financially challenged. I did the math on what I was making and it was not mathing. It should not take two weeks to make 1225 after taxes. I am smarter than that. Trust me I am over it and now I am investing in myself so I can help others break free from the chain and ball. No more Massa jobs for me!

    • @OurBlackUtopia
      @OurBlackUtopia  2 месяца назад

      Okay SaveOurBoysNow, 1225 for two weeks work?!?! *I DONT THINK SO* - there is no grown person that we know that should be paid that for their brilliance!!! Save more than you make. Get a no-stress part-time remote gig if you need to. But NO, you we should not be putting up with being underpaid and over-stressed anymore!!!. Thank you for watching and please forgive the delay in responding. Life has been lifin'. 😳

    Thank you for your video. It brought me a lot of inspiration and insight into what I need to do to get out of my job. I’ve been at my job for 20 years and I cannot retire for another 10 years. I am 49 years old. I cannot last another 10 years in this dream taking, controlling, fake, structurally violent work environment. I am planning my exit. I will still get a pension when I turn 65, but it will not be the full amount if I stay the full 30 years, but I’m fine with that. My stomach is constantly in knots and I feel like it’s because of my job. I will continue to watch your videos 😊
    What’s making me anxious at my job, is the waking up every morning trying to make it on time. As I get older, waking up is not the same as when I was younger. I was 10 minutes late the other week and my 35 year old supervisor told me that I can be written up. My sup has only been working here for 8 years. Anybody that has been coming into the same job for 20 years, they are going to be late a few times.

      Hey Shabey, there may be a way for you to quit your job sooner than later. Ric and I were saving 65% of our income once we realized during the pandemic that we could live off of my salary and still put money in our investments and savings. Did you watch this? ruclips.net/user/livemy3gxrGqjOo

    My fulfillment and values were rooted outside of my job. I found joy in sports and in raising my son within our church community. Upon retirement, I pursued a career as a Golf Instructor, finding fulfillment in both teaching and giving back to the community.

    • @OurBlackUtopia
      @OurBlackUtopia  3 месяца назад

      Once you decide what your future monthly expense will be, subtract social security from that number. You should have 25x the gap. e.g. monthly budget is $3000, social security is 1800. The gap is $1200 = 14400 per year x 25 = $360,000 that you need to have in investment accounts. OR you could have rental properties that bring in $1200 per month. Either way you should have a very healthy emergency fund - we like a minimum of 1-2 years living expenses.
