Sorry man. In 2017 earning $100,000 is nothing in most places in America. After tax you will be left with just $68,000 to spend for the year. What is the average rent for a two bedroom in a place where upper class earner are supposed to live (Boston, Chicago, New York city, California etc)? That alone will cost you over $20,000- $28,000 on rent alone.

Please i need advise on this issue.

I own somebusinesses in Nigeria and am very comfortable.

I earn over 400k plus monthly from those businesses am less than 28years but sm people are advising me to sell out those assets then use the money to travel abroad canada to be precise to go and hustle that canada is the bomb now. But deep down in my heart i dont want to travel out. I know a friend that has being in the Uk for years the guy is just average.

I am quite confused i wouldnt like to make a mistake.

I don't have the strength and time to be analysing 100k income for someone who is not even earning in dollars and has no understanding of the cost of living abroad....
I know people who earn such and I know what they've done with money both in USA and naija...
I'm not here to convince u, cos I know u are a cynic....
Rather I'm here to educate the enlightened minds and contribute to knowledge.

They are not living the American dream. Even doctors who earn over $200,000 carry a heavy burden of student loans they will need to pay for a 30yrs duration. $100,000 before tax cant buy you the American dream

chrisjohn234:
I just read numerous articles on google and can comfortably say $100,000 in present day America is indeed not that much to be classify as upper middle class. Though miles better than what the average American makes

You want to ruin your life by destroying the comfortable life you have in Nigeria .Listen to those advice at your peril

chrisjohn234:
Making 400k monthly is upper middle class in Nigeria. He got no business traveling out of the country unless for visit. Even someone earning 250k has no business traveling out. They should grow on the job. But for those making less than 100k it is really hard. They should see traveling as an option

If they truly live in America they won't even dare debate me. What is the average cost of taking care of a child? A couple with two kids bringing in a combine salary of $200,000 is just average if you want to truly live the american dream. Taking care of a child will cost between $12,000 to $14,000 annually and that is just for one kid. Below is a link so you understand what is going on in the US. Nigerians living there are liars, I have never seen a single Nigerian who went to the US. and made it. They are all wage slaves.

The funniest and most expensive joke I have heard from Nigerians doing menial jobs in the US. and earning between $1,500- $2,000, is claiming that they are richer than bank managers in Nigeria. I guess they make their money in America while spending it in Nigeria. This stupid joke need to stop. A Nigerian doing menial job in the US. at best can be compare to someone receiving 80,000 Monthly in Nigeria in purchasing power. A Nigerian doing odd jobs for 10 yrs will still be paying rent while a 10 yrs bank manager would have long built two to three houses with a lucrative investment. Nigerians in America need to stop converting currencies because it is clearly stated that if you earn $12,000 annually in America you are living in poverty

100000 dollars income is upper middle class....
I don't know what u reading but here is a 2017 report on USA class income....

PDPGuy:


Sir, you’ve got it wrong.

A single person earning $100k/year, before (and after) taxes, lives a comfortable life anywhere in the US. Even a family of 3 can survive on that amount.

Also, some states like Florida and Texas have no state income taxes, so people get to keep even more of their money.

A household of 4 (parents with two dependents) will have a lower tax rate than a single person with no dependents. For eg the tax bill for the family of 4 earning a gross income of $100k would be around $20-25k; while the single person may have the $35k tax bill.

So, several factors determine whether a gross income of $100k would be adequate for anyone.

I heard it's very tough in America now some of their citizens are escaping to Libya to come to Africa for better life. Thanks timesup234, your thread is an eye opener.

timesup234:
The same America who can't fix their destroyed country filled with homeless and hungry people are also responsible for the destruction of Libya. Failure is the trademark of the American dream

Sparkle1515:
To each his own,some of us have gone to the America and not even interested in settling down there..all the time I visit I cant even live the kind of life they are living.we all can't live Nigeria and we all can't live in America..whatever rocks anyone's boat...

wonlasewonimi:


We are on the same page my friend. Nigeria is way better than America. In fact, everybody on the minimum wage is living the Nigerian dream!
