There is no American Dream, my favourite T-Shirt!!!!!

But what about the diff. that we see between kenyans who work abroad and those back home in terms of investments? For example,I once lived in Ruaka in some nice flat,we were told the owner is lady like in her late 30s working and living USA.Her friends/ people who she worked with can only plan put up something like that after 10 yrs of serious saving.......they still live in rental houses......would you still say that it is not worth trying?

@Famooz,
Life is what you make it.....If you can make a million dollars in NY,you can make the same in Nairobi....and don't look across the fence too often....where i come from ,they say ndiakaguo ta ya wakini(someone help interpret).......I thank God because i don't work to be rich,but to be happy...and i am happy indeed... .

.....that favourite T-Shirt of mine: "there is no American Dream"....was a present from a friend living in the US!!!!!

McReggea, I would have loved that Tshirt.

The problem with most of us is that we want the easy way out. We want to go to USA because we shall buy a car. We want to go to Lolliondo because we shall be cured Pap!

Nothing is easy.

Living out there is tough. But at least there is a process. You get what you work for. Nothing is free and pole to the guys who think it is easier out there.

My view is that it is easier to make it in Kenya simply because most Kenyans are lazy and are waiting for the serekali to do something for them. Or their boss to increase their salary. Try doing that there and you will be broke for the rest of your life.
