If you desired to be wealthy,what would you do?

[BlackQueen]

If I'm ever blessed with wealth,I would leave the US and live in the Caribbean,and continue to invest in other things such as real estate,stocks,etc. I would still find other ways to hustle. I'd also help with our people's economy and show them how to invest and use money on things you need,not what you want.

At some point I guess we all had that secret desire to be monetarily rich, But I'm rich in home and motherhood and other ways money cant buy But if i just had it I would help alot of our dis-advantaged afrikan people (foreal)

Well said,sister!

The value of the Amerikkkan dead slave owners are becoming worthless each day so you will only gain your fortunes through investments such as land, food, sewing your own clothes, barter trading goods and services, and looking into investments within the motherland. I hope you get free or die trying instead of getting rich or die trying.

oh i understood wrong. i thought u were askin what would i do TO BE wealthy. And i choosed "start my own business". BUT, if I HAD a lof of money...hmmmm
at this point of my life i would probably be doin what im doin, study. although i probably wouldnt be working or not where im working.
But if IN GENERAL i had a lot of money, yeah i think i would travel. but let me tell u something. sometimes its more expensive to live in your country than it is to live in some other countries, so, its really about saving, and then investing on a trip. if u stay long enough in every location, and u are able to get a little money while stayin there, it can be affordable.
Then i will also buy a studio and stuff for makin music. instruments, computer things... and start a recording studio, i would pay my friends to work there or teach me how to do it myself. and invite people to play. well, on the real. i would just live there. I mean... gettin a house big enough for both things (but not a BIG ASS house like those on MTV, i need my intimacy and down to earthness.
this wont be a business, just for love of music. so people can record their stuff to sell it or share it. stricly good music. community growth

I do desire to be wealthy. If I desired to be wealthy, I would do exactly the same thing I am doing now...dreaming about wealth. Now if I ACTUALLY WAS wealthy...that's a totally different matter. If I ACTUALLY WAS wealthy, I'd build a "compound" in amerikkka (with the "military" hummer, firearms of every kind, and EVERYTHING, LMAO!!!) and I'd build a "home" in Africa (Libya). I'd make serious attempts to become employed in Khadafi's government (maybe as some kind of Foreign Relations Representative in amerikkka). Once I became a part of Khadafi's government, I'd donate the rest of the money to the people's struggle.

Africa is not "The United States of Afrika" yet. Some states in Afrika advocate for a United States of Afrika more than others. Today, Libya is at the forefront of Pan-Africanist aspirations.

Depends on how much money but I know initially that id buy land and build homes in Oracabessa and Ghana. If I still had money I would also start a few non-profits, take care of the elders in the family, save $, invest in the family business, go to graduate school, buy a really good customized sewing machine and serger for myself, create an African inspired line of clothing, open a garment store, a few restaurants , juice bars, and herbal cafes.

I don't "desire" to be wealthy, because I'm working towards actually BEING wealthy with my business. My business will serve as a vehicle for my music, my poetry (which in themselves will turn into profitable ventures themselves once I get them rolling), and most importantly getting my people out of debt and helping them plan for retirement. Plus, I want to open offices here and abroad, as well as open up music studios and hold free recordings sessions to have our youth know more about music production (that's one of my goals).

Gotta take baby steps first, though.

[Majadi]

Were I wealthy, which I will probably be as I have been told I would be since I was really small (hell I am still small at 5'5''). I was nicknamed preacher, cuz' I love to talk and I was told I would be rich. I have aspirations on being the first Pan-Afrikan Nationalist Televangelist!!! LMAO! I think I might be good at this...Give me your money yt or....


Seriously I would fund whatever legitimate aspects of our movement I could...P.S. books, lots and lots of books!

[shakim1969]

If I were a wealthy man , I would take care of people living in poverty.

[G1deon]

A house big enough to house the bredrin in SHESHAMANE. Along with that a school & hospital for the people. Several businesses on the land to import/export to function as a means to built it back up.

I'm well on my way to accomplish this, once I get the first business off... as you know, first step seems like a mountain, but when you done climbed the top & look down it was only a hill... Babylon cannot stop what comes next
