And SSA data only counts a primary job.
To reiterate my earlier reply, it is t very unusual
for a Black person in America to earn $100k or more
per year.

What do you mean by primary job? What is the maximum income level to pay Social Security tax? Is it based on number of jobs or your total income?

Below is written on the SSA data I shared. Click on the link and review it.

DEFINITION: Earnings consist of all wages, salaries, and self-employment income in covered and noncovered employment, including earnings that exceed the annual taxable maximum.

According to the DOL, 19.6% of Black American households earn over $100,000 per year. It doesn’t specify how many of those are two income homes.

Did she say that was her year to date earnings?
Making $100k a year isn’t that uncommon and very possible depending on what kind of work she is doing. My yearly earnings exceed $100k and I know a number of other people who earn the same or even more than I do.

Household yes. But individuals is lower than that. And the topic here is centered around individual's earning.

This data gives better understanding of Black vs White vs Asian American vs Latinos earnings in the US. Though men only but the data will be close for women as well.

https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/factsheets/at-a-glance/earnings-men-age-race-ethnicity.html

Somehow yes. Only 15pct of US population makes 100k and above per year.

And I can bet that percentage will be even smaller in the black community.

So, yes it's a big deal in the US and mostly among black community to be making 100k and above a year.

The husband has been the one paying all the bils from day one till now (5 years) that the woman and the kids now have authorization (green card and work permit). Those alone cost the man like 4m.

The woman work as a care giver after doing some months course/ training.

The husband is not even asking her þo send money down but for to take care and let the man face himself to plan for his old agè now that they have papers

Assuming the woman works FULL time, according to indeed, average salary for care givers in the US is 35,277.

https://www.indeed.com/career/caregiver/salaries

Then the poverty guidelines for a family of 4 is 27,750 for states, 34,690 for Alaska, 31,920 for Hawaii, based on the HHS chart below

https://aspe.hhs.gov/topics/poverty-economic-mobility/poverty-guidelines.

As you can see, if she works FULL time as a care giver, her family is just around the poverty line in the US.

I think though, since she is working now, the level of financial burden on the husband should reduce when compared to when the family just arrived in the US without work authorization and job.

Why debating on something very rare to occur in our society?

Samantha123:
The bottom line is that marriage is not an achievement, but a decision.

Marriage is a type of success. There are several ways of being successful. Having a working marriage and a stable home is one of them.

Yes. You are looking at it from only financial success. Financial success is not the only way to be successful in life.

There are people that are financially successful but failed in other aspects of life and even end up unhappy up to committing suicide.

Yes and no.

Yes if she has work authorization, not a student and earns good salary

No if she has no work authorization, still studying like many of our people with wives abroad are doing to stay in the US or earning low salary

The questions are: what is her immigration status, how much does she earn, is she in school?

Up to the 80s in Africa, many people still married early and were successful.

In western world today, many people interested in marriage still marry early.

So what has changed in Africa that we no longer marry early?

"Far right" wind will blow through all western countries from now till foreseeable future.

From Sweden, now Italy, US on the way and more to follow.

Woke party and woke people will hate this.

See how all woke party controlled media houses are shouting "far right" as if it's a crime to be conservative.

This is the era of "far right" wind as people are getting wiser that wokeness is destroying the world.

US democrats are already bracing for their mass loss in November mid term elections.

Go and marry her na because both of you are compatible.

A man patronizing olosho is an olosho himself.

Very informative. It's good to learn from good elders.

Thanks to Pa and Mama Osewa!

I highly recommend this seminar to people that want to learn how to make a peaceful loving home.

From all the information you have provided here.

1. The property belong to you and your other siblings from your dad. You can give whatever you deem fit to your half brothers but you and your siblings have no legal or cultural obligations to do so.
2. Take the advise of getting your own lawyer as soon as possible. That your dad's lawyer is already compromised.
3. Inform your dad kinsmen if they are not aware.
4. Whatever you do, be firm but don't engage in unlawfully practices.
5. When you get your own lawyer, the first legal action is to file for a motion to compell the dad's lawyer from taking any further action on any of your father property until you and your siblings settles in court or out of court.
6. Be prepared for a long drag because of the slow judicial system we have in Nigeria and the fact that your dad had no will

Pierced:
If u can't get the original documents from the lawyers.......then forge the documents......just know your dad signature.

Don't do this

1. Don't abandon your university education in Nigeria at that stage.
2. You can go to Ghana to work but no need to enroll in university for now. Just go there and work.
3. As soon as ASUU suspends their strike action, come back to Nigeria to complete your studies.

Good luck to you.

Hello nairalanders. Hope your day went well.
Please I need advice.

I met my girlfriend some years back and she has been a good girl to me through all these while.

She comes from a large family of 7. Her father had stroke in 2018 and her mother left them all and ran away, leaving only the sick dad to Carter for the whole family.

She gained admission same year and I stood by her side from her first to final year in the university , sending her money on a weekly basis and sent more money to her when there's need for more money in school.

She has finally graduated last month but the truth is that her demands are becoming increasingly difficult for me and her sick father has become broke as a result of spending without getting back.

I won't really say she's a burden but mehn, it's been too much lately.

I am 27 and I plan to get married at 30 and I honestly don't need this sort of setback.

Dear redpillers, I know I've been a simple man but please I need advice from everyone right now.

Good. You need online redpillers' advise. Good luck. I am out of here.

Next time you see anyone lavishing wealth on social media, ask the right questions.

Stop asking "God when?" And stop attacking people asking for sources of their wealth.

I was given a blue copy in Lagos on 20th of this month and the reasons for the denial was my link with the company that send me the IV . Please what is my chances of getting it in abuja as he said he want us to use Abj thanks

If you like reapply in Mars, your case file in Lagos is just a click away. Work on the reason why you were denied before you reapply but DO NOT MISREPRESENT.

Samantha123:
Cultural or no cultural, we now live in the 21st century and everything always has a beginning.

As long as the family can acknowledge that the land was given to the son and then put everything in writing with witnesses present, it will help in the nearest future.

The rumor was started by west controlled bots on Twitter.

The west are testing something.

Samantha123:
Make them sign an agreement that they will give it back after a certain period of time.

Even if the agreement is in writing and both parties have signed, it would still be a valid one.

If they refuse to give it back in the future, you can then take them to court.

And make sure that there are witnesses when you guys sign, in fact, they should sign too.

Written agreement might not work here, except there was written agreements when the family initially allocated the land to her son. This is completely cultural land sharing practice in Nigeria. Most times, there is no written agreement when the land are shared.

Well done madam for supporting your husband. I hope he gets his feet back soon.

Yes, he was supposed to inform you before giving out the land. But since he and the family have apologized, please forgive them. It's still a family affair.

There's nothing you can do for now than to continue to remind your husband to follow up with his kinsmen from time to time to get another plot reassigned to your son.

Alpha male online but real simp or broke and worthless in real life.

Same for the online feminists too. Forming online but submissive or seriously searching or hoping for a man in real life.

Richy4:
The way you wrote those things, one might be thinking that Nairaland is a continent or a country where Alpha male dominates....It's about time you realize that it is a faceless forum...What you read most times are just fetish from some people who wished to be what they were not offline...most of them are thick glass wearing nerds with backpacks..

OP, you too should learn to pen down a balanced right up...You have highlighted what you thing women does, from waking up in the morning to doing domestic chores... No time did it ever occurred to you that there are men out there who are committed to their family and family lifestyle...give some credit to some men while writing sometimes...It will not cost you anything if you do that..

Do not dwell only on negatives, u are not Al Jazeera....The idea of gender war write ups most of you create on forums like this is not really necessary..

Well said.

@helpout12345 Thanks so much for your response, I really appreciate it

You are welcome.

MALIGNANTGuest:
When your NIGERIAN BOYS went there to destroy shops filled with Gold and precious stones, you didn't type such.

When your NIGERIANS took their cult wars to such a saner clime, you didn't type such.

U should really be ashamed of yourself!
I'm truly disappointed in what u did!
That one could imagine such & put it up!
There are many things to deliberate on.
IF you need TOPICS kindly inform other Nairalanders. It's absurd to come up with such!

Don't mind the OP. They have started their usual victims card game again.

ednut1:
80K in legal costs for something that could have been resolved. Some women today and abuse of feminism ehn.

Hope no one gives her one cent. That's her prize for wanting to take the children away from their father unlawfully.

@semmyk, thanks for your response.
Yes, I have some flyers that shows some of the winnings and an award placards
I hope that would help with the social media pages links?

Okay. The social media pages are about the award.

You can submit printed copies of the flyers and award placards alongside the hardcopy completed I140 form. Then include all social media pages in your petition letter. Also include in your petition letter, background of the award, what body issues it, what accomplishments are required to be considered for such award, why you were nominated or considered for the award, how the final winners are selected and why the award is significant in your field.

CNN, the number 1 fake news in the world and media propaganda outlet of the democrats in the U.S

Why is CNN arranging to interview their enemy ? Does Biden give interview to Iranian propaganda news outlets ?
