A term used to describe the phenomenon where young, black people use their salaries to support their families. Inasmuch as this phenomenon is experienced across all cultures worldwide, the word “black tax” is used because it originated from rural, black families. Second, it’s important to have a sincere and open discussion with your family about those finances, and on how much you can spend on black tax. Ensure your black tax is spent on teaching the family how to fish. This doesn’t mean they shouldn’t support their families.
