You have a point my braddah.
When I used to work in the fast food industry part time majuu as a student working hard to maliza uni I would earned the equivalent of kedo 150-175k per month just from that part time gig (tips included). And this wasy maaany years ago so equivalent today would be 300k and above. Yet there, that was very little money. Could barely save after paying my rent, car insurance, daily expenses, electricity, water, cellphone bill, school supplies na kadhalika.
So I had to get a second job to generate enough income for savings and school fees. Na hizo jobs sio mjezo my fren. One day a huge
Jaquan/Ladarius with violent temper confronted me for directing him to do his job in a better way. Dadii karibu anichape mangumi papo hapo. His nostrils were exapanding and contracting with rage because he felt I had "dissed" him. I thought he would go to his car to get his heat from his glove compartment and pump some lead into my cranium. But most of y'all don't know anything about that. Ogopa those guys manze. The struggle majuu is real.
But back to topic 165k is not bad here. Adjust for PPP. Things are cheap hapa. I saw someone complaining bitterly hapa wazoo about paying a plumber 4k kshs. I almost laughed till I cried. Ask our braddahs abroad how much those plumbers charge just to fix a leaky tap. Besides, it is not what you earn but what you keep that matters. Some chaps earn 1m a month yet own
zero.
