“Not every American is rich” – US woman warns Nigerians

Before you think of relocating to the US and hoping to marry older American women to secure residency, understand the cost of living is high, American woman advises Nigerian young men.

She explained that life in the country is not as easy as many people think.

According to her, that despite living in America, she struggles to meet her daily needs and sometimes sleeps in her car because of how expensive it is to afford accommodation.

She pointed out that earning money in the US does not automatically mean having a comfortable life, especially with expenses such as rent, car insurance, taxes and other insurance payments taking up a large part of people’s income. 

In a post, she said:

“Not every American woman is rich. For example, me, I dey suff£r, I sleep inside my car because it’s too expensive over here. Everybody thinks that it is easy in this country, but it’s not. I wish people would quit thinking that every American is rich, but we are not. I burst my nyash everyday for little little pay. Here you pay rent, car instance, taxes they’ll take from your pay. Many other insurances, There are a lot of places better than this country.”

Her experience shows that moving abroad does not automatically guarantee financial stability. While many Nigerians hope to find better opportunities in America, the cost of living can make it difficult to save money and enjoy the kind of life they imagined before relocating.
