Tell 15 year old me:
Date: Andrea, Tanya, Carole (Honor Students), Nalda (was taking AP classes).
Each of the aforementioned young ladies were highly intelligent and good people. They would have "pushed" you to do better in school, instead of just doing enough to pass.
Tell 25 year old me:
Join the Pension fund immediately and learn about Investing in Equities.
In addition, learn about Real estate because you probably could have owned a Brownstone.
(PS. Somewhere in between those years you will meet a girl named Kim at Howard University. Do not, I repeat do not eat her Chili and white rice.)

I turned 15 years old in 1985.
So my advice would be…..
• Purchase a pair of the first edition Air Jordan’s that came out in 1985. Do not wear them, keep them in the box with receipt of purchase and vacuum seal the box. Do not try to sell them until retirement age.
• Purchase the vinyl edition of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. Do not open it and do not attempt to sell it until retirement age.
• Go talk to big booty Pamela in high school . I found out in the late 90s that she was interested in me in high school and I had always assumed she could care less about me .
• Get your hands on a Michael Jordan and Bo Jackson Rookie Card. Do not make plans to sell them until retirement age.
• Purchase as many G1 Transformers you possibly can. Keep them in original packaging. Do not plan to sell them until retirement age.
• Do not cut 10th grade English class’, if you do, you will need to either take summer school or night classes to graduate on time. (I took night classes which was annoying).
• Continue your plans on going into the ARMY. Don’t spend your money on Nigga trinkets. Save 70% of your monthly pay the 4 years in there. Get all your meals from the mess hall.
• When you are finished with ARMY in 1992, do not return to NYC, move directly to Las Vegas, NV and purchase a house/condo with your VA home loan benefits. Sell the home in 2007, before the month of June. (The Great Recession)
• When in the ARMY and stationed in Germany, tell Reed don’t mess with that chick stationed in Hanau. He won’t understand why, but he will in about 3 months. (Long story, don’t ask).
• Join a Labor Union when you arrive in Vegas in 1992. Save all the extra money you gonna make from the Strip/Casino boom that takes place up until 2007.

15 year old me was awesome. I had real fun.
So I will look at my almost 15 year old sons and say pull out game must be number one priority from now till you get married. I would make sure they know how to properly shoot guns and they will be starting Brazilian Jitsu and some boxing to know how to fight. I will let them know that video game and porn is a waste of these very few moments you get here. So do like I did, have fun with people who are just about having fun. But always think about the generations after like I did. Keep this generational wealth growing.
25 year old me was at crossroads. But chose the right path and in the end did dam amazing.
But I would tell old me, try to not let my best friend get in that car to get murdered. Dont let sexy Wendy go, she speaks 4 languages you dummy. And understand finances, dont just follow the program.
40 year old me. You did good. You invested heavy in real estate, moved to several countries, got three great kids and adopted two. I would say spend more time with them. Stay home more. Them hoes a waste of time.

Spend quality time with your parents, leave women alone until you are in your 30s-40s, save your money, and don't watch Terminator Salvation.
At 15....
These Vancouver folks talking about "real hip hop" are like "real cowboys" who never jumped on a horse. So forget about "representing your city" and go somewhere they actually like your music.
That hip hop icon from 102.7fm CFRO you've been looking up to will one day be your best friend and collaborator.
In 20 years you'll get more pussy than you ever dreamed possible, then you'll wish you hadn't.
Don't talk about your black grandpa too much. That racist vice principal already wants to kick you out of school.
In 3 years you'll meet a dude with a "professional" recording studio in his bedroom. Don't give him your money when you already know he's full of shit. Go to Midi City instead.
You'll also meet a dude named Dwight who will steal your 1200's. Don't get too upset though! Your DJ friends are about to catch fed time and this theft keeps you out of the game when it happens.
Your dad is wrong. ADHD is real, but those pills aren't the answer. Practice meditation and journaling instead.
Your school guidance counselor is also wrong. That two-bit one horse Podunk town you live in is not a microcosm of the world.
At 25
Your instincts are correct, she's been cheating on you. Leave now before she completely fucks your credit up.
Stop rapping foul shit about gays and bitches. It won't age well.
You already know that Lisa Brown is a crook. So stop second guessing yourself. Black people are not conspiring to build you up to tear you down. You're not important enough for that.
Why aren't you living in America yet?
In about 3 years you'll finally get the girl you've been sweating since 19. She will ruin drinking for you and eventually you'll have to quit. Again, don't be mad. She did you a favor.

Crazy fact!
In 1997 I was 25 years old. Amazon IPO went public for $0.075 per share.
If I invested $1,000 in 1997 and never put another penny in, today in 2024 that $1,000 would now be worth $2.55 million.
Crazy part I was making more than enough starting out in Information Technology to have easily purchased $1,000 worth of shares at that time. (I didn't know what I know now)
No sense in crying over spilled milk, today I own 148 shares of Amazon, I'll keep buying until well into retirement. I got 15 more years.
I can only imagine how rich I'd be of I had 148 shares back in 1997.

I'm not wasting my time saying shit to 15 year old me cause I already know his little hard headed ass ain't gonna listen.
25 year old me though....
Invest in Amazon.
Fuck grad school.
And stop listening to people giving praises to crazy pussy.

How about pushing for higher wages at your job. Why does everything have to be a get rich quick hustle that is risky. For every Amazon there is a 100 failed e-commerce companies.
For me, it is telling my younger self to set up residency in other countries besides the United States and renounce citizenship. Don't believe the hype about boundless opportunities. I am starting to blow up in other spots globally, and wish I would've made that move sooner.
I have to worry now about the United States chasing after me the longer I stay here.
Black Jobs
When some athlete or entertainer is endorsing products that are made overseas, those are black jobs they are taking away from the black community. In the Latino community, they were trying to negotiate higher wages and the company, Wendy's switched up its suppliers to Mexico for its farm...
