“If you go bankrupt, a million dollars isn’t enough,” he began. “If you’re broke, stop saying, ‘If I had a million dollars, I would be fine for the rest of my life.'” No, you won’t.
“If you were broke, you’d need to buy a million dollars worth of stuff right now. You’d need a house, a car, and most of you would spend it at the mall. You’d celebrate getting a million dollars. When you’ve done all that When these things happen, you’ll go bankrupt again.
Instead, Slim Thug claims that being productive and reaping the benefits of success is what life is really about.
“So stop saying, ‘If I had a million dollars’ — that’s not a number,” he said. “Just work hard every day, grind every day, keep going, keep going. It’s a lifestyle, not a destination.
He added: “So if [you] There is $1 million. Working hard every day will always bring you some income.
DJ Paul added in the comments: “I know a rapper who just made a million and went bankrupt because he forgot about taxes on 400k of it, 650k in Cali.”
In 2012, Slim Thug published a book called “How to Survive a Recession” and talked about the way people spend their money during his press conference.
“There are people who drive around in Mercedes-Benz and don’t even have enough money to bury them when they die,” he told Houston’s 97.9 The Box at the time.
“That may sound like a harsh statement to many people, but to many more it’s true. Once you invest cash, you need to feel like you’re committing a crime.
In an interview with KHOU, he said: “[They] Forget that they have to pay taxes and what’s on the check isn’t really what they own. I myself am even guilty of raping about spending money lavishly.
