i just wanna say congratulations!!! you’ve saved a pretty amazing nest egg considering you are only early 30s prolly. also congrats on the amazing resume in terms of educ/jobs. i do agree with you that our industry is racist af and i dont mean in the sense that they feel one race is superior to another, but prolly they just prefer to hire people that look like their clients. minorities are super underrepresented as a percentage. but that is how the world works. everyone is just a tad biaseddd

if you are just going to be dependent on portfolio there are other places where tit is cheaper to live. i know africa is dirt cheap but i imagine not your cup of tea despite coming from there. i think 600k is not enough to live in the us. i think a minimum of 1m is necessary esp right now as markets are expensive. so i think 1m during a regular market cycle.

anyways, what made you move to canada? wifey got a job im guessing?

Thanks a lot…my wife and I left Africa 7yrs ago…we really would like to go back, but in the midst of getting kids, my wife never cemented a career to call her own…having left home one year after her undergrad, she is worried she may not be considered experienced enough to integrate back into the home market (where jobs are perhaps more competitive than in Canada) - she wouldn’t want to be managed by her former classmates…haha…

My wife managed to get job in Canada last year - after filing for PR. Our kids are Americans and so we thought it would be good for them. They are closer to their home….haha…

We will definitely go back to Africa, as soon as wifey is comfortable to go back.

Anyways, good luck in Canada buddy Keep us updated! I still have no solution for myself other than the idea of networking and playing with the idea of MBA.
