is revolutionizing banking with their new product update. Why have a bank branch when you can deposit cash right at a local merchant? It’s arguably my favorite financial innovation since crypto.
Financial literacy isn’t simply about “managing and saving money” it’s also a form of consumer protection. Financial literacy teaches better decision making around money. For example: see thread.
I hate how we push “financial literacy” programs on poor people. They’re not financially illiterate, they’re broke, be for real. There’s only so much managing and saving money you can do when you don’t have much
They could’ve bought that Black-owned business that started making them in 2014. But they chose to cannibalize the Black-owned business instead. That business is
@tcbandages
and I’m still going to buy from them. Point blank. Period.
99 years after creating band-aids, Johnson & Johnson announces its offering a flesh color that doesn’t just match white skin.
Took long enough. Never too late.
All the homies in Sunset Park, Park Slope, Greenwood, Windsor Terrace, and Bay Ridge… be safe out there. Stay alert and stay in the crib if you can.
Rest of my New Yorkers, keep your eyes open and be safe too 🙏🏾❤️🗽.
I’d love to read a book about the founders who built unsexy shit. The person who built and designed the zipper, the toilet, water filtration companies, monetary clearinghouses. All the shit we don’t celebrate but use everyday. Where can I find this? Any advice anyone?
When the government did all that PPP LOAN FORGIVENESS I AINT SEE YALL COMPLAIN ONCE. I didn’t see “oh all those companies borrowed money during the pandemic they should pay it back. I borrowed for my business, I paid it back.”
But now it’s some student loans and y’all righteous.

This years bar exam was the hardest ever administered because of the conditions. You’re a champion no matter what. Still super proud of you and even more respect to you for being public about it. Not many have the courage to do that either.
Stripe & PayPal will give you a business loan based on the sales of your online business. Stripe will not only underwrite a loan proportional to your previous years sales, but will also take a percentage of future sales as payment as the transactions clear (cont.)
401k stash limit is $19,500 this year. That’s $19,500 that you can shave off your taxable income this year while investing for retirement. So if you make $60,000 a year and you stash the max you’ll be taxed at only $40,500 which can save you some $$$. Plan accordingly my friends.
It’s hot as hell in NY today. Hitting the protest to give out free water to the protesters. If you know anyone out there point them to my page and I’ll give them my location.
Never forget. Black people got killed for buying candy with hoodies, going for a jog, driving their families home, selling loose cigarettes, being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
One thing I realized this year is there’s actually more power in saying nothing. Made more progress saying less this year than I ever did posting shit on the internet everyday.
Attorney General Merrick Garland is calling on "the entire legal community" — including law firms, law schools and top legal organizations — "to take immediate action to help prevent unnecessary evictions" during the pandemic, Psaki announces
Let me save you some time. I wrote a Dime on this 2 weeks ago and talked about it on here a few times. In 2010, Congress Passed Dodd-Frank who’s aim was to prevent banks from wilding on mortgage-backed securities which caused the financial crisis (A THREAD)
@BigBichote
Meh let em have the day. What’s minor to us might not be minor to them. If they circle back clear the air.
My personal philosophy: we all talk to each other too much. People need space to breathe and think.
Spent almost $15k in the last 4 months just to take the bar exam so when I hit you with the fee to create a Special Purpose Vehicle with the proper governance structure for you and your mans on the block please do me a favor and don’t ask me for a discount.
I love me a boring business with heavy cash flow that’s recession-proof. Spent my Saturday night shadowing a liquor store owner (friend of the family) & saw 300+ transactions in under an hour averaging out $32.50 per & said it’s a slow night usually there’s a line down the street
They burned down this mans business that the internet watched him build and he still sees the bigger picture. Some of y’all faves like taking your money. Some others are here for y’all truly. Know the difference.
@Ziggys_Duck
Wild take. A cop literally created a fake serial killer and plants evidence to link cases together all so he can get funding to catch someone else and bro said the show is copaganda 😂.
It’s kind of crazy how I went from starting a business in my living room and building it out as a one man team to doing a panel sponsored by Wells Fargo this coming September.
