Add on to the fact that they have employee provided health insurance, possibly retirement benefits due to social security, world class infrastructure, great hospitals, availability of convenience stores etc etc……all while making $3k mbele nyuma.
To access a similar lifestyle in Kenya requires a salary of not less than 800k.
all these will cost you money, there was a time, my son had an episode, we called an ambulance, and we were slapped with a $3000k bill.
health care in Murica isn’t cheap if you don’t have insurance.
If you dont mind me asking what state are you living? Small towns in the Midwest are good for starting your life especially when it comes to schooling. People go to affordable community colleges and transfer to 4 year colleges and if you have papers life is easier. The only thing is that you need a game plan to or you will be stuck . Small towns in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Wiconsin can be good starting points and when you omoka just pack an leave.
That’s more like it. When you compare oranges to oranges there’s actually not much difference in COL between the US and Kenya. The only difference is that it’s easier to downgrade one’s standards in Kenya than the USA because there’s so many poor people below you, that you appear “OK” in comparison to them. Personally I think Kenya’s more expensive without compromising the quality of life.
100%. Kenya is expensive as fuck if you want to guarantee yourself the bare minimum in life (healthcare, public safety, social safety net, retirement, public services etc). A poor person in America has access to all that stuff so their income only limits them in terms of neighborhoods they might access but the minimums are guaranteed, unlike in Kenya.
After travelling the world I realised that Being Rich in Africa is the shit. You can get around everything and live godly. Heck, I can hire 5 bodyguards daily at 1000 bob/day but not so in a developed country.
The redpill: Whether a country is classified as rich or poor (except Finland, Norway, Czech and Switzerland), just know there are both rich and poor people. The question is, which one am I?
There’s someone spending $800 per day in CAR whilst there is someone in Nairobi who thinks noti ya 1000 is still “pesa kubwa”. If CBK was honest, it is time we print 5000 denomination notes.
I hope you will pester him with injili. He might be bringing exotic sexualities uncommon here. Ndio he goes away back to the bronx or wherever he is from.
