Stuff Black People Like: #28 Not having a Savings


In the world that we currently live in, how important is a savings account? Or a savings account with more than $100. How is it possible for anyone to move forward if they don’t save any of their money. Black people hate to save money. It’s plain and simple. I can remember as a kid how my mom used to tell me that she was deadly with a dollar in her hand and it was true. The minute she had money it was already gone. Black people love to buy things in general whether they need it or not. You can walk into a black person’s apartment in the projects and find that they have expensive furniture that is covered by plastic, their kids have every gaming system and game and they have a lot of unnecessary things that they don’t need.
If black people learned how to budget their money we would take our selves out of depression. Look at the Jews. Jews save everything. If blacks had the mentality of Jews then this world will be very different. I think we are probably waiting for our reparation check from slavery to come in so we feel that we can spend all the money that we currently work for and get the rest of that money for the enslavement of our ancestors that we probably don’t know. Blacks that are successful probably learned the idea of saving money and that is why they move forward in life. As for the rest of us, we will continue spending until one day we have more bills to pay than our yearly income and bankruptcy is a must.
This is why not having a savings is #28 in Stuff that Black people like.
