    You made great points here!
    Can't agree more on the salary and expenses ratio. People in my home country always think that I'm making good money here, however, they sometimes forgot to factor in the expenses (rent, grocery, etc.)
    Then again, we're already here. Might as well make the best out of it right. :D

    Thanks, the realism should be expressed and not the fallacy of it's all on easy mode when you migrate. Please consider all the pros and cons and make the decisions, it can either be the best decision in your life or a painful one.

      That’s how I wanted it to be received! Definitely still come if you want to, but it is what is is and the reality can sometimes be very harsh.

    Girl talk about the fact that they take most of our income for taxes smh. So even when you work good money your pay still doesn’t make sense. It’s also as if you’re punished to work more.
