aktunde: I get your point. However, if you do not say some of these things I said, some of you people here will claim I am probably flipping burgers at McDonalds, earning less than 2K a month and so the complain. I wanted to make the point that even those who appear comfortable are also spending a lot. Hey! I am still anonymous here. Big pay, big burden |

Take your $3000 camera and take photos of the homeless dissheveled vagrants of the streets of USA and send to them on face book and tell them to wake up to the reality of life there. Send them the price breakdown of foods and transport and cost of living and how its not even allowed in USA to live in a shanty slum after yousent all your last $ to them. When you send your last $ to them, you will be taken to prison for gross vagrancy and begging in the streets. Then they will see and maybe still they will not care. 1 Like |

Hi Ops, it is simple it is because you make them think you have nothing better to do with your money. Learn to say "no". |

Motolank: I pity your life Bro, if you think everyone is a loser, like you? Owning 2 cars is not a luxury in America for a family. And even with my 6 figure pay, you see that I am still complaining. |

Motolank: That one person can't do something doesn't make it impossible for everyone else. So he might be saying the truth. 3k (wey no b naira) is somewhat on the high side bt people (especially intellectuals) have causes they care about. Depending on d person's life experiences (if it's someone whose lot also got bettered by other people. What I've noticed in the way we do charity here is that folks will help you (seeing your zeal to succeed) and they'll support. Then rather than forget abt it like d Bible said n focusing on bettering their lives regardless of that so-called assistance, some of them will just sit back, make poor choices n wen ur own hustle's beginning to pay off, they start to demand even though u're also just finding your feet and wld like to tie something down first. Yet you must attend to those needs else u'll b labelled ingrate. The solution I see then is to budget. The Bible did say " he that giveth to the poor lendeth unto the lord" Not supporting being ungrateful but we're to learn from one another's experiences. And I'm open to diverging view(s). 2 Likes |

I imagined a phd holder of Nigerian descent would opt for a debit card, what with the liquidity ensured by the 6-figure income... But what do I know ? Again the unending mortgage you are paying that gulps 25% of your income... Pardon me but are you living in a castle? astrodome: |

okonri: You do not want to be using your debit card everywhere for several reasons. If you know anything about America, you should know this. Everybody I know runs credit cards and repay via online transfer. That is part of the American culture |

Op, many people suffer the same thing, i wish all Nigerians will have the opportunity to travel abroad to witness the situation on ground. Why do you like fb, is better to ignore facebook and other media |
