If going 50/50 with your man will help your household, don't let nobody make you feel bad for that. Facts. Cause can't nobody tell me one job, one income in the household take care of all the bills in the house. It don't. Not anymore. Everything is expensive right now. Everything got a recall, everything going up, but you know what ain't? Them raises on them jobs. Exactly. M*** gonna be working that job years, years, years, years, years, years. But d*** near every month this going up, this going up, this going up, but why the f*** my pay ain't going up? So don't let nobody make you feel bad going about 50/50. If I have to go sew or make some lemonade on side of the road on the weekend to help my husband out, that's what the f*** I'm gonna do. If I gotta go switch somebody edges on the weekend to bring extra gas money or something, that's what the f*** I'm gonna do. If I gotta go doordash, instacart, I don't care what it is. Anything to kick the stress off my husband back, the man that provide and busts his a*** every day, that's what the f*** I'm gonna do. Not about me sitting right here, oh I want a Chanel bag, I want a Chanel. No, I make sure them bills paid first. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'll get a Chanel bag when I'm financially free, when I'm out of debt with some s***. And I'm just being real. I don't know what works for your household, but I'm just being straight the f*** up. Huh. Huh. I think you gotta do what you gotta do at this time. I hear a lot of people talking about they ain't going 50/50. They'd rather pay 100% before they go 50/50, which is just straight ludicrous to me to say that. But um, yeah, if you got a partner out here that and they really can't cover everything, you gotta jump in there and help them. You know what I mean? I know that for a fact, man. We got two shovels and two hard hats in my garage now. My wife does not mind getting out there helping me with whatever I got to do or or helping me pay something if I have if I needed her. You know what I mean? So um, I'm with that sister right there and people need to be feel like that as a partnership, man. Build a partnership. That's how corporations is built off of every everybody else contributing. So it is what it is. Let's move to the next one.
