I never talked to my step father. Maybe I hated him when I was younger because I felt as if he took me away from my imprisoned father. At 14 I understood the truth and no longer held a grudge. I soon realized this man without speaking to me wanted to be in my life and turned out to be a friend I needed.

Trying to find a job with no experience is nearly impossible but with persistence and time anything is inevitable. Either you get what your after or luck intervenes. Learning how important our time is and how fast it is ticking away is a lesson we all need to learn. How can I accomplish more? Why am I waiting for this to do other things? Do I have to wait? What can I do differently? I learned that everything revolves around time management.

Going to prison my first time wasn’t easy and it changed my point of view. What you think you can get in trouble for and what you don’t. Everyone does bad things but it’s the unlucky ones that get caught. Was it unlucky or is it because I’m brown in a time when being brown is unlucky. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/streetkid/support

The finally decided to go Arizona and confront my mom to tell her I got accepted into college. The only thing I was afraid of was she would not help me with the loans. Luckily she did help me but knew she was hurting me. As she tried using logic and reason to convince me otherwise I still chose to make the mistake of going to college.

A mentor influences your decision and makes you question your own beliefs. Luckily I had three mentors each with there own ideas and what they thought was best.

My first years of abuse lead me to be an angry young man. I started fighting my mother, students and pretty much causing problems for myself.

As they say History repeats itself my mother also had a stepfather. My grandfather was an angry man, he was abusive and he also went to prison at a young age.

Every Sunday I would see my Father In Prison. Ignorance is bliss.

I speak about emotions and childhood traumas that could be effecting the way you think. I also want people to understand that one bad decision could ultimately take away everything from you.

I go into detail on how I buy a car for less than $1000 sell it for $1000 down and take payments for $300-$400 a month. Warning: Keep the Title, make a second key. People say there is no way somebody would pay that price but then again that’s why they call it a market economy. As the saying goes one mans trash is another mans treasure.

Down on my luck the whole year working for minimum wage and having barley enough to scrape by. My girlfriend finally has the courage to call me out and prove to her that I can make the money I always brag about making in the past.

This is a blow over story, not really important. I lost everything, money, bills, apartment, and I move in with my mother. My girlfriend, future wife gets me through all of this. I’m trying to change who I am and I try to be as honest as I can be. Making money is not easy as a honest man. As I fall my girlfriend sticks by me and promises we will survive it together.

I started getting bored with life and even though it’s hard for others to make money that wasn’t the case for me. After opening your mind to make real money life gets boring and you start taking more risks, and start making your life a game. After a while life hits me and I realize this is not a game but my real life and if I continue on this path I could risk my life!

Life goes on whether or not your alive or dead. Nobody cares about you and will cover it up with excuses. Your family maybe the only real friendships you have but if your like me and have no family then you have nobody.

I finally got into another apartment and I wasn’t going to lose this apartment like the last so I decided my backup plan to be a roommate. If anything was to happen to my cash flow I still had roommates to pay for the apartments. This was my first successful business and it made me a lot of money. Sadly good things don’t last forever.
