    It's important to know also that the each bill is due on a specific date of the month, and if you don't pay, and you don't get a payment plan the company cuts your service of, or your insurance gets cancelled, or your electricity and phone gets turned off and there are costs to put them back on! These are very critical piece of information relating to bill payments in America. Also, as video suggests, each state has different costs of living and weather conditions! States like California, New York, Pennsylvania...have high cost of living, while states like Oklahoma, Iowa, Arkansas are have considerably lower costs of living. Some states like Pennsylvania have many taxes while star like Delaware have less taxes. Some states have extreme weather conditions like very cold and huge snow, like Minnesota does. Other states like Florida don't have winter. Some states have hurricanes and tornadoes every year, others don't. Think about those realities too as you dream about going to live or work on the US. They can be additional challenges to Africans coming from heavenly warm weather all year round. 😂

      @@dianahnattabi758 Chicago and Boston have very cold winter weather and huge snow. Chicago is very windy, it's even nick named Windy City. Winds make the winter colder. Boston definitely has high cost of living and so is Chicago. Boston is laid out like European city and might give comfort to some Africans cos some African cities are designed after European style.

      @@alphabilalkoroma5746 New Jersey generally has good weather,winters aren't extreme. Cost of living is reasonable. It borders New York City at some locations like Jersey City. So some people live in Jersey City and travel to work or do leisure in New York City and back. The closer to New York City the more likely life is a bit expensive, especially if you rent apartment. Job opportunities are good according to friends who live there. Like any other state they have their taxes and from little experience, they pump gas (petrol) for customers while in some other states like Pennsylvania customers have self service of gas into their own cars. New Jersey has great educational services and resources too. They have beaches for fun times too. Over all a great place in my general experience and knowledge.

    Thank you Shiko for giving people hope. I have seen so many Kenyan in USA discouraging our people back home from coming here. US is the land of opportunities. It's depends on what you want and how you take it. Yes there are bills here and in Kenya too there is bills. But life is not hard as people portray. As long as you are not lazy and you are positive , you will make it. Don't listen to negative people......they will tell you how hard it is to live in USA and they are still here and they are not planning to go back to Kenya. Just think about it.

    • @carolinesedition5312
      @carolinesedition5312 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think going back home also becomes hard for them coz they have nothing to fall back to. No investment so have nothing to start on. They left the kenya system( many) years ago and would be hard to fit in again, people will laugh and mock them.So they complain about how hard things are, they r already entangled by the system, and I believe as years passby they learn better and do betterbut when for their now, maybe actually things r not good for them.

      @franmdleleni6520 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A credit card is given to you by banks or companies for you to spend money which you don't have but you repay monthly with a high interest. Eg the bank can give you a credit card with an amount of ksh100,000 This means you can go to the shops, buy whatever to that amount. End of the month you pay a % of the amount let's say they will deduct from your salary ksh10000. You are left with ksh90,000 but then they add a big interest on this balance. Here in S.A it can be 20% to 25% interest depending on your credit worthy. So you see, although your paying back, you can be trapped into debt coz of interest. One credit card will be fine to manage. The best thing is to pay more than what they deduct. Am not sure if you can do that in the U.S. When you pay back credit facilities without defaulting, it increases your credit score and worthiness and you become important for those who want to offer you good loans eg when u want to buy a car or a house. They check your records and see you are a good payer.

A mortgage of 3-4 bedrooms can be 3-4 thousand dolllars monthly. Then remember all the utilities, property taxes, earthquake n fire insurance, home owners insurance...etc. I am a single woman n must earn at least 8 k monthly to cover my expenses with my chn.
