Hi Jumz, lately you are looking wonderful. Your last two videos take me back to your post in Ghana. Thanks for this content today. If anyone can gain wealth in the US, get on a plane and go to Africa.
Growing up in Ghana, all I knew was FOOD IS READY! For that reason, I didn’t learn how to cook. I became an adult in America and marriage is not in my future. I spend $1500 - $2000 on food alone MONTHLY.
Emigrants, especially from the global south - Africa Asia & latin America, do have alternatives to some of the situations u have identified. First, we extended the family system. We can send our kids back room grow and come back at age 18. Woefully, this is hardly pursued. Reason, we do not value our inheritage .some keep the kids here for tax reasons. Yes, as advanced country, there's more jobs . A family can decides to structured work schedules to allow for one to work on AM while the other works graveyard. We do have alternatives, but our mind tuned to look down on our way if life has made us to not keep to what we have and apply it where necessary. You recently arrived and yet have quickly noticed how the system works.
This is a big misconception about this country, especially among Africans. Nothing here is "designed to keep you in debt". Going into debt is an individual choice but when you do borrow money, whether for a car or a house, there's an implied expectation that you will pay the money back. With interest. Hardly anyone here does this "pay-as-you-go" the way you all do in Africa. There must be a million videos on TH-cam of Africans talking about how difficult it is to live in the US because you have to pay for this or that. And I always have the same question: what exactly were you expecting when you decided to move here? Lots of Africans will come here and it's obvious they've consumed a lot media about the American Dream and living this fablous American lifestyle not knowing what it takes to live like that in this country. And to be fair, this is case in all of the civilized world not just the US. Yes, child care is expensive. If you can't afford to pay it don't have children. Absolutely no one in this country has children with the expectation that the grandparents are going to take care of the child while you work. We don't kill and cook our food, we buy it from a grocery store. If there's an electrical problem in our houses we're probably not going hire some guy from the village to "fix it". We'll hire a professional, bonded electrician. The example that this woman gives in this video is not really realistic. I could go on but I think I've made my point.
You’re extremely on point. People make videos who don’t even have FACTS! And everyone’s experience is DIFFERENT. Some people end up going to states where upwards mobility eg Seattle, California, Minessotta , Massachusetts etc where you can get help. I’ve lived in different states & each has different pros & cons. So you cannot generalize. Again don’t have many kids if you’re not financially stable.. Also there’s grandmas and ladies who help watch people’s kids for an agreed amount. I saw this in Houston & Dallas. Most people will bring their mom over if she’s not too old. Anyway these podcasters just want views and comments so mostly I ignore them.
@@sophieobiero-ro7uj So whose experience do you think Jumz's is coming from and why do think her experience isn't valid? Because she's African? In London my Polish colleague once she had her baby her parents were taking turns to stay with her every six weeks for the first year of the baby's birth. The US is a system designed for people to outsource everything to feed an external corporate economy, 20 years ago in the UK childcare was the equivalent of the average monthly salary, it's just worse now. Before you respect someone's insight you're here crying.
Highly misconceptions in this video. Each of her points are great generalizations. Family is family here especially in the black community. If it’s so much better in Africa then please go back.
Great info , a lots of things to learn about before travelling to a western world
I’m glad you found it helpful.

Thank you for the compliments.

Please, reconsider the future with marriage in it🙂.

Who asked you?
The US system is designed to keep you in debt and paying. Sorry if you don't like to hear it but it's true.

Did you not read the title? Is comprehension not American?
Wtf,for a country that calls itself the most advanced and richest country in the world it's system is designed to keep you in debt?
Yes it is. As an african you have the option of going bk home

She is specifically talking about african immigrants and not black americans
Do you black americans just find videos of Africans to troll why'll not smoking your c ra ck pipes?
