Providing for your family is to me... but I digress.

sure but just having a large income does not mean that you provide for your family though.

also you should be providing for your family in a number of ways that are not relevant to income.

if the only indicator you have of your manhood is the numbers on your paycheck then I feel sorry for you.

Only a optimistic broke nigga would say this.

Yea, duh. Majority is based off of income, tho. Please explain other then emotional support HOW and what can be provided without income being a factor. Unless you're amish and hand make everything.

if the only indicator you have of your manhood is the numbers on your paycheck then I feel sorry for you.

And nah, I agreed with the manhood shit which is why I stated hierarchy in society for the most part - income has a lot to do with that.

@Innovator - as long as you are happy and content, bro - that is what matters.

You're gettin too deep. When I said, "I'm a grown ass man, dog" it's just a commonly used phrase used in jest... and not that I need to justify myself to you but yeah, I coach my kids' T-ball and flag football. I do homework every night with them... dick down my wife when she wants it, go on vacations as a family, etc.

All of those involve income in some way, shape or form, lol.

Let’s take it one step further. If you can’t retire your mom or get your brother a job then you’re not a man. Basically if you don’t own your source of income then you dictate nothing. Your job can be taken from you and now you feel castrated. It’s important that people own a source of income whether that be owning your own company or making enough in passive income that your bills are paid for. I see what Ghost1 is saying and I agree. Idk what all goes into being a man but having an employer feed you a check weekly or biweekly isn’t one of them.

this is important and its deeper than entrepreneurship. Its the difference of knowing who you are and using your strengths and skills to be successful in any and all endeavors you involve yourself in VS. striving for a culturally defined modicum of value at the cost of your own identity.
