Earlier today, while at work, I got into an interesting conversation with a friend of mine.  He started the conversation by asking me if I would be with a dude that had a lot of money but treated me like shit or a dude that was hardworking, on my level and treated me like a queen.  Of course I answered that I would be with the working class guy, but he would have to know how to make money.  My friend sat on the other line silent for a minute (wasting my day time minutes), and asked me to explain. 

In my explanation I broke it down like this; a person can have money one day and blow it the next. I've seen it happen, thousands gone in a matter of days and nothing to show for it.  Perfect example would be those people who hit mega million lottos and 10 years later they're in the news because they're broke.  Now, if a person know how to make money then they're good.  I'm not talking about hustlers, I mean hard working, creative people. 

He goes on to ask for an example.  Now just to clarify, dude is a G-Unit STAN!!!!  I, on the other hand, am not.  So I figured what better example to use than his boyfriend and his boyfriends (all you stans calm down, it's all in good fun).  Ok, lets look at 50, Yayo, and Lloyd.  I told him, 50 is the only one of those three that knows how to make money.  First, his whole VitaWater Venture.  He goes to them when he's hotter in the hood than quarter waters, and more popular in the suburbs then skateboarding, pitches his idea and BAM, this nigga has a water named after him and stock in the company.  THEN, CocoCola Company goes and buys VitaWater, which increases the stock.  Meaning, 50 made money (Does anyone know if he owns SmartWater?  One of my nosey patrons who listened to my convo while getting his change together told me this but I'm not sure). Second, his whole G-Unit line of clothing and accessories.  Plus, he's supposed to come out with some kind of weight loss or metabolism booster stuff. 

Now, at no time did I mention 50's hired help, did I?  This is where my friend starts yelling that those other two have money because they're down with him, which is my point exactly.  They have money, but can they make money?  Beside putting out albums, promoting porn, and smacking up someones child what do you hear about them doing? 

Sheesh! I'm not making it rain or anything but at least, in my little world, I know how to make money to keep my permenant french UV Gel maincure game proper.

Do you see my point though? (The actual comversation was way more entertaining, lol)
