@freddyfoffe: People back home hear you make $4,000 a month in America and think you're rich. What they don't see is the rent, car payment, insurance, taxes, groceries, and the money you're already sending home. By the time you pay everyone, sometimes there's barely anything left for yourself. The problem isn't always that people back home ask for too much. Sometimes they genuinely don't understand how expensive it is to survive in America. And because you don't want to disappoint them, you keep saying yes while quietly struggling. Making dollars doesn't automatically mean you're building wealth. Immigrants, what's one American expense you wish your family back home understood? #ImmigrantLife #ImmigrantReality #MoneyAbroad #AfricanDiaspora #FreddyFoffe

Player X :

Don't think the car payment is necessary it saves you about 700$

It's by Grace :

I work 2 jobs and still don't make 4000 before taxes

chef.bybirth :

Wait the $4000 is it after taxes or before ???? 😅

KISEKKA Mohammed :

Precious forum🇱🇷🇱🇷🇬🇧🇬🇧 :

People back home will never understand no matter how you try to explain. Thank God I don’t have any family stress

Feelme_Tamoe :

Even living in Lagos is like that! 😂 People work for Lagos landlords, transport and government. Your rent, transport and taxes, fund is gone.

tha_big_red_banner🛡️ :

Ngozi Nwachukwu :

Agye 1 Ye :

Milena :

There are so many groceries I refuse to buy just because I don't feel the price is justified. Even if I love them 😭

ORA Awakening :

Even if you tell them or show them this video their brain will never comprehend until they have to personally live the experience themselves.

Mel Bi :

Even in Africa you will still pay bills You live where it works for you it’s all the same

Augustin Ekollo Ndoumbe :

Are you telling us live in AMERICA is not worthy. At least you are making a living in there, do not discourage those who want to try there luck. Your storytelling is so négative, tell us something positive about living in America

Captain :

I totally understand; for me, it was a mango. It took me years before I bought my first mango. For the same reason, my African brain kept converting the price of the mango into my local currency back home. While coming from the province back home, I don't even buy mangoes; I just pick them from the trees.

i.my.zelf :

Someone finally said it out loud

Faith :

In Galveston, Texas, this bread was just less than $5

Biddie :

The sad truth is that most people know this but they don’t care as long as they reach u on phone.

🌹Sylvia🍀🇦🇺 :

exactly life is relevant to income 4000 is not much especially for the single who pays for all the expenses alone

Red :

$600 for groceries, as how now ?? No one should deceive anyone, if you do receive $4000 a month, you are balling here and it’s only an unreasonable person that would spend such amount on groceries, rent and co. Lastly you can get a clean cash car, pay half and pay the remaining monthly.

TheKayHenryExperience :

King Foffe....Where have you been I can't wait for you to talk about how people building these massive houses back home while living meegerly paying rent here for a place they probably won't even enjoy.

Kweku_Bobby :

You’re a blessing to me,,,,I nearly quit my job in Ghana to relocate to Canada,,,I talk to a close friend and he said exactly what you are saying.,,this is eye opening and revelation
