If she earns $8 per hour

#8 * #365 = #2920 per hour

If she works for 10 hours daily

2920 * 10 = #29,200 daily

If she works for 25 days

#29,200 * 25 = #730,000

thanks bro no mind this dark chipmunk if she make 8$ per hour is more than 2k ..If she works 10 hour a day bab na likr 28k or more then multiply it by 30DAYS she should be counting like 1.somthing million or more ...Come back aunty come and sm sleep without light for days...opportunity is in America si don't even discourage people

shagaman:


From the calculation I can help break down expenses.
730k is like 1800 usd monthly that's if she doesn't miss a day.

Rent average depending on area a bedroom can cost up to 650 -820 usd depending on location.

If you have a car gas monthly is average of 35 usd weekly.

Phone bill 40 usd if using metro line, but with Sprint it might be cheaper

Electricity fluctuates your bill can rise up to 250 usd during this mad cold cos u need heater if u don't want village people to sing he was once a good fellow for you.

Internet is extremely cheap so one can be on 10 usd unlimited monthly if using xinfinity platform.

Water rate 80 usd monthly .

With 1800 earned per month you would spend at least 1300 on utilities.

But rather than discourage people encourage them to get their papers right and have a plan, US is not for the faint hearted , everything works from light to good roads , public schools are fantastic for the kids till they enter college.
Once one has a plan in place in the US the Sky is the limit..
If one works hard and most importantly be prayerful , if you survive naija forget you would survive anywhere just know your limits and expectations.

Another mugu who doesn't know 70% of Americans who earn $55,000 annually can't even come up with a mere $500 in emergency while 62% of Americans are one paycheck away from living on the street. So good to know you make your money in America and pay your bills in Nigerian with naira. Mumu

Benekruku:
America is just the opposite of Nigeria


While we suffer and smile here, You smile and cry in America.



The fact remains that, Its easier to be successful in Nigeria than America

The shame of coming back home empty handed is what keeps majority there?

ajl:


I smiled when I read your post. You are converting to Naira. So, someone living in America is paying for his/her expenses in Naira? That $8 is just a dollar above minimum wage. It's what a 16 yr old working in MacDonald or Wal-Mart will earn. Now imagine if you have family.

So in short, from what you said now, middle class income is poverty?

And by the way, the bolded is not true. Just to let you know.

Bollinger:


Lol. Who told you this fallacy? If that were the case, the poverty level in Nigeria would not be astronomically high. Una go just de tok anything wey go console una. Carry on

Benekruku:


It smiling and suffering Bro for majority! Have seen it. Tunde on Fb posting pictures lkie he has all stays in a one-bedroom working his ass out

Is not consolation, is a truth you know

Not all, majority over 60%

LaEvilIMiss:


The poorest community school in the US will still give you a far better education than the wealthiest elite school in Nigeria.. go figure. She cannot come back not because of shame.. she cannot survive in Nigeria.. after all a tray of 18 chicken laps is $3 in the local farm market.. can she buy 18 chicken laps in Nigeria..

introvertme:


18 chicken laps for $3 ?

is there hearsay?

Then let her return to Nigeria na. She won't even have to pay for transport

ajl:


You are probably right. It all depend on where you belong to. There are Nigerians of different classes here. Those that belong to the top 24% American income category and those below, and those at the bottom. It all depend on how you get here and what resources you have invested. It's the reality of life. I've personally experienced the high end career and 6-figure income, and also experienced the other side in attempt to pursue life-long goals and escape "the matrix".

Lesson, don't even contemplate moving here if you do not possess skill sets that can guarantee your independence if normal job is not forthcoming. And about the sister in the video, people put stuffs in storage for several reasons. She is likely new here and does not have a clue. But in summary, the pasture is not always green on the other side. It's a normal thing. A Nigerian lady i met told me of how she came to US on holiday few years back and seeing how rosy everything looked she decided to quit her job in Nigeria and moved here. Now she has overstayed her visa, can't secure employment and stuck with baby-sitting to earn a living.

Yankee has a fvcked up healthcare system. If you get sick in America, you are fvcked!

There are better countries like Australia, Canada. Etc

ajl:


For a long time when my personal economy was booming I had health insurance but when I had a downturn in my personal economy, and because I saw myself as very healthy and had never fall sick before i choose not to get health insurance in last few years. Gbam, last year for the first time I was hit by mere throat infection. I tried to fight it until it got to a point I was not able to swallow or talk. Long story short, i drove to one of those emergency clinics. I spent about 2hrs there where they only did CT scan for me and gave me drips. Then I was driven to Memorial Herman hospital where I spent 2 days and my system was flushed with antibiotics continuously. I was not expecting a bill beyond $1.5k.

Come see bill after mail came. Two day treatment at emergency came out to over $8000 (not joking), 2 days at the hospital was $15K plus. Even Nigerian women who come here to give birth no dey pay that much. American health system is rip off. This year I did not miss getting an health insurance.

I found a way around the $15k bill because the hospital though is profit making (makes few billions yearly) also receive federal funding and because of that they obliged to provide limited number of services free. I was well informed and submitted an application and the bill was written off.

For the $8k bill, those one are "thief". I requested that they send me itemized outline of the charges but they never did. So I am dragging it with them. Even if you are making tons of money here the system is designed to enslave you financially.

poseidon12:


Yep. And you that has been their for 50 years and earning $500/hr at Google, why don't you show us your own video about the great time you are having in order to encourage us all to move to US.
Nigerians should look inwards and develop themselves and their country. It's not necessarily better for Nigerians who move. A lot of misinformation out there. That's the bottom line of the message. And it's in order.

sacluxisback:


Even those with insurance are not faring much. Now they want to take out the affordable care act. Its not all rosy as everyone paints it.

micfoley:
This won't stop guys from migrating o

ajl:


I understand it's not all rosy but in certain respect comparing situation in Nigeria to that in the US is like comparing death and life. I value our social and family structure except that our people are generally not productive because the elite made it that way. Here, i have been working on a biz idea at low cost but in Nigeria it would have been more difficult or near impossible. No worry about power, internet and all the basuc amenities. Thats where the West is winning.
