    Good luck Robert, proud of you bro! Most peeps who have returned to Kenya from here (U.S) end up frustrated. I have friends who even committed suicide after returning to the 254. Especially if you've been here for long. I'm going on 24 years now since I came here and I've seen many try to return home....most end up coming back here. Hustling in Kenya is not for the faint hearted ...but with that being said, I have also seen a few move back successfully by having first invested in real estate.
    If you want to return to Kenya, 1st build/buy a home to live in rent-free and an apartment building that earns rent. That way if your biashara is down, at least you're not starving & depressed over your basic needs. Be careful returning back home folks, make sure ....hell, make double-sure you have your t's crossed and your i's dotted. Good luck.

      @kenyandamu 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@joycegona9410 That's the reason why he was doing odd jobs like cleaning houses. That's very common with Kenyans who don't have Degrees in the USA. They work as watchmen, cleaners, flip burgers etc. for 80 hours a week and still don't make enough money to pay these high American bills.
      Breakdown of a typical AMERICAN monthly bill ... Average rent is $1,500, Electricity is $200 in warm States like California but goes up to $1,000 during Winter in the cold States, Cable is $150 to $200, Weekly groceries is $100, so that's $400 monthly, Car insurance is $100 in the warm States like California but can go as high as $500-$1000 in cold States like New York, Gas is $100, Health Insurance is mandatory and is about $500- $1000 for families ... People who don't have DEGREES end up earning minimum wages which is $12-$15 in rich States like California and as low as $6-$8 in poor Southern States. KENYANS with DEGREES can afford to pay their bill because they earn about $70,000 + in a year. If you don't have a DEGREE, it is impossible to pay these bills and so you have to live like 8 people in one house to share Bill's. That's the reason why you hear some KENYANS hating on AMERICA because they work 80 hours weekly and can't make ends meet.
      Am telling you the truth ... DONT COME TO AMERICA WITHOUT A DEGREE! Or ensure that your parents have enough funds to get you through School for your first DEGREE otherwise you will end up homeless in these cold AMERICAN streets like some Kenyans who don't have DEGREES.
      Finally it's not smooth sailing like back in the early 2000's when illegal Kenyans could just drop out of School and work 2 jobs to make ends meet. President Trump is deporting illegals in the hundreds of thousands.
      So when you meet a KENYAN who is back home suddenly without a DEGREE and has bad things to say about the USA, then know TRUMP deported him/her.
      AMERICA values DEGREES and so KENYANS with DEGREES have better jobs to sustain their families and their joint incomes is about $150,000/yearly and that's close to Kshs 15,000,000 and these are the KENYANS who never come back home because they are earning about the same money as Kenyan MP'S ... FACTS.
