Don’t address him as a woman dawg. He’s 12 years old. He’s not up there yet.” Flash forward to October, and Iron Mike Tyson confronted Boosie about his comments while the rapper was a guess on his “Hotboxin With Mike Tyson” podcast. “I really commented on the Dwyane Wade situation because I got of...

Mike Tyson: You Can Be A Genius In Your Career But A Financial Imbecile! Hear this: You can be an academic genius but a financial imbecile! You can be a graduate and still be financially illiterate.

This explains why we have more ‘illiterates’ as landlords and graduates as tenants! Your financial future will put a great demand on your financial intelligence. Your financial habits, and not necessarily your degrees and certificate, will determine whether you will be rich or perpetually poor. Many graduates don’t have fin...
