I learned the hard way myself..back when I was 18 I was offered $1000 cash to drive a box truck that had 650 pounds of mid grade marijuana in it..A friend of mine was plugged in with some Mexicans they were doing big shit at the time in the weed and Meth game..so I was supposed to drive it to some abandoned warehouse near a cornfield in the middle of central Indiana and drop it off to some dudes who never showed up..still to this day my buddy never heard from his Mexican friends again..we sat on that damn truck for two months thinking the Mexicans may show back up and if any of their shit was missing they would put us in a weed compressor and that would be the end of us LOL..but eventually we said fuck it it doesn't look like they're coming back..so we got rid of the shit! My buddy found some people down in Mississippi who were willing to pay $475 for every single pound(they could easily sell this stuff $90-100/bag then)..we had the front a lot out but we collected all of our money and under in a 8 month period..it was around $310k when it was all said and done that me and all of my homies got..I had $25k myself at 18-19 years old..Way too much money for a young kid to have..I blew it on drugs, clothes, fancy cars and rims and sound systems and a bunch of furniture for a house I got on a 2 year lease which I payed off cash up front lol. But looking back I realized all that money brought around a bunch of snakes ..fake friends and girls who didn't really care about me ...I was showing the shit off trying to maintain this image that I was somebody because I had money..and that got me stripped butt naked and robbed at gunpoint for $6k cash..a pistol..my car..and all my pills...(i def DIDNT look cool walking into White Castle butt naked to call a friend to bring clothes and pick me up lol) luckily those dudes DIDNT kill me. Some people are hungrier than others...but when that shit was all gone it was just me and my main homies again! I have learned that money is nice to have but materialistic things are everything and money doesn't really mean much if you're not happy inside or add legit loyal people around you to share it with!!
