Rent in Jamaica is so much cheaper than Rent in north east America, NYC, BOSTON, DC

[@Happey67]

Cheaper in Montana, Idaho and perhaps Oregon

[@thereselewis6219]

Hello Ms.Deb & Camera Girl, love your topics 👍❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲.

[@Happey67]

Well since I have lived in the United States since preteen, I think I like living here. It is multi cultural and you have the opportunities for many things. I have two jobs and I am single. Money management is a skill so I can live very comfortable. I do not need a visa to visit many places in this world. When I was living in New York City I just jumped on a bus, train or plane and go over to Canada where I love and have relatives there. I can and have been to Mexico and different Caribbean countries . This my experience and friends and family. Lots of the fellows come here and get caught up in drugs for illegal , fast money. One of the common reasons, these fellows do not want to go to colleges and universities, they want big, fancy cars and big houses fast. Many end up in prison and premature deaths.

Miss Deb and daughter, love your topic. Right now I'm gearing up to move back to Jamaica, I would like live a yaad like yesterday instead of here in the USA. I came to the State as a child, it was not my choice. I'm living in Florida after running away from the cold and every three months rent goes up, I have to visit 3 or more food stores just to get items on sale, so many persons are now homeless living on the street and their not crazy, a one bedroom cost $1700 and more, health insurance is high even when you're job is paying a portion, I knew people who can't afford insurance and is afraid to go to the hospital because of the hugh bill coming in the mail. I believe getting a home in Jamaica from my experience was easier, because in the USA getting a home has to do with your liability & how much credit you have + scores. Jamaica is a developing country and it has a lot to offer if you have a plan, I've realize some persons in Jamaica live above their needs especially when I watch their grocery hall, they purchase mostly imported items instead of local brands, while you in the USA we budget and sacrifice to live comfort even though you work two or three jobs for that comfort.

[@jacquelinewynn5923]

Very very interesting topics for mother and daughter enjoyed it❤

[@debbiesjamaicanfamily]

Thank you so much

[@sewsilky]

Nice afternoon chat 😮

[@agathacuffy7910]

Deb's, in my message below, i ment now we pay $5 or $6 for one of that same can stuff. 😊

[@agathacuffy7910]

Ms. Deb's, this is a very good topic, i loved the mother daughter connection, you both did a good job. Well, i would say, life in the islands and abroad is about the same, years a back i would definitely say it was better in the United States, when i came up here, my husband and i was buying a pound of oxtail at $2:25 a pound and with often stuff on sale it would drop down to $1:25 a pound with no fat on the tail, now a pound of oxtail is $ 11:99 a pound with the all the fat on the tail, and mark you, they weight it frozen! So by the time you cut off the fat, you have nothing left, plus you only get one small tail for the pound, 😂😂😂😂 also rent is very expensive up here compared to home in Dominica where am from, also up here in Miami, according to where you live and work, you need some form of transportation, unless you want to hustle everyday to catch the bus because they have a schedule time, food like can stuff we use to get all like 5 or 8 cans for $1:00 is now $5 or $6 for that same can stuff 😂😂 so my dear, it's about the same, we just need to be thankful to God for his provision for our lives everyday cause he has been very good to all of us. Iove you Deb's and family. ❤❤❤😊

From Brooklyn NY..Health care is also important.

[@elainemclean9821]

Hello Miss Deb, and your lovely daughter I’ve been watching for the longest, but I’ve not commented but this one is very important to me. I’ve been in the USA away from Jamaica for almost 42 years. I now retired building a house. Looking forward to moving back to Jamaica so for me it’s mainly looking forward to enjoy my retirement in Jamaica even though it’s concern me greatly about health care. God bless you both!

[@chickiepup]

Hi Ms Deb and Camera Girl. Love the mom and daughter interaction between the two of you so much and enjoy your topics. My advice visit here first cause it is not a piece of cake working and living with racism and hate everyday in this place Boston MA and pretty much the entire country USA.

[@elainemaineculf2412]

Very good discussion..

[@georgiagerald1392]

Intro is such fun🙏🏿🙌🏾👏🏾👍😘❤️🥰😍💖💕💐💐🇯🇲🇺🇸

[@larnawright4055]

You a right Sister Debbie you are right it’s not the mortgage itself but the process and especially the initial deposit and closing cost.. the same thing as Jamaica.

[@tinachambers1376]

It's very hard in New York .. jobs a little easier to get especially low paying jobs. Rent and food is very expensive up here in the States

[@alene6579]

I prefer to be living abroad. Everything has risen in food, and housing everywhere abroad and in Jamaica. Abroad has agencies that can assist. USA has better healthcare system, also better opportunities. Each country has their own pros and cons but I prefer abroad. Honestly, it depends on the age group. Housing is very expensive here. We have a process for home buying and it all depends on the person’s credit here in USA to determine if they can get a loan to purchase a house. Within a few years is when Oxtails became very expensive here in the USA and Canada.

[@charmaineeverett4488]

We have to try and do some container garden ... cabbages, lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers are easily grown in containers .....

[@alene6579]

Abroad does have assistance for home buying.

[@JanetteWitter]

Hello my family i like that topic my son live overseas i travel over there but a yard me say and overseas getting very hard too bllessing guys.

When I applied for my mortgage over 10 years ago, the process was easier than it is now.😢

We have farms here where we go as well in the summer and through fall which is much cheaper and fresher than supermarket especially produce 🙏🏿🙌🏾👏🏾👍🥰😘😍❤️🤗💕💕💖💖💐💐🇯🇲🇺🇸

[@lamdh3179]

Shittttt, at my stage in the game and my age me redi fe go bac a yaad. I’m military and will be retiring in 2yrs. Can’t wait. Foreign nah easy

[@Happey67]

Jobs are not limited in America at all. Many people can start there own business and get grants to start it. I am not saying that getting a grant is easy but attainable. Many companies have taken the jobs to India, Phillipines and Mexico for profit. In America, they have to pay for vacations, pension, sick days etc etc.to employees but going overseas they pay employees cheap. But I have heard from Congresmen that those jobs are coming back to America. OK. Many teachers do real estate, on the side, Bankers/tellers do side jobs/hustles to save money for house, vacations.. Mortgage is easy to get if you have had a job for only two years, good credit score and show proof that you save your money consistently. As for food, fruits and veggies are inexpensive and many supermarket or grocery stores have discount on lots of products every so often or everyweek. Detergent, milk, cheese, turkey, chicken, ice cream, clothes , shoes, etc. Keep in mind we have to pay taxes on clothes and shoes in many states. No taxes on fruits and veggies but some states you pay taxes on food.

You have more people renting than owning cause if you don’t have good credit you can’t buy a house or vehicle or get a loan it’s hard up here too

[@carolfrancis6415]

So true

If you are a teacher in Jamaica with your bachelors or masters degree you could teach in the USA

[@winnieflex4030]

Ms Debbie food is expensive in Jamaica. My always said my shopping cart is getting less and less every month.

[@AAHomeGardening]

Jamaica fi mi Each has pros and cons

[@georgiagerald1392]

Love housing here where here or Jamaica houses were cheap in the 80ths now it’s so much more EXPENSIVE think it’s better to own or rent in Jamaica 🙏🏿🙌🏾👏🏾👍❤️💕💖😘🥰😍💐🇯🇲🇺🇸

[@theresa4274]

Food is always cheaper in Jamaica when I watch shopping in the market. For us to eat organic in the states or locally grown it’s very expensive.

[@debbiesjamaicanfamily]

Yes that is very true

[@larnawright4055]

You get a studio apartment her in NY city for $2000 or the cheapest $1800.. so Jamaica rental market is MUCH better.

No matter how you dice it..they're more opportunities aboard for the under 35yrs old age group.

I also think the food is much better to buy here where as you can get certain things 2 for the price of one or on certain days of the week certain things are cheaper 🙏🏿🙌🏾👏🏾👍🤗😘🥰😍❤️💖💕💐💐🇯🇲🇺🇸

[@Happey67]

Is there a difference between oxtail and cow tail? Can you plant Cabbage and fruits in your backyard?

[@debbiesjamaicanfamily]

The cow tail has on the skins and it all depends on the environment you have and your resources for planting your fruits and vegetables

[@theresa4274]

Ladies J$20,000.is about US$127.00 do not get you much where I am, 1lb of snapper fish where I am is between US$13.00/$19.00 per lb. You have to be smart how you spend and use your money and where you shop here in the States even in Jamaica.Very good conversation.

[@debbiesjamaicanfamily]

Thank you for sharing and watching

[@nolitadinally3279]

If I was living in Jamaica my entire backyard would be planted with vegetables and herbs. If no backyard then it would be bins and buckets and drums. I would find a way. America is the land of opportunity but you have to work hard. My husband and I came here with nothing. By the grace of God, I have a good job, own our own home, vehicles etc, put our kids through college.

[@debbiesjamaicanfamily]

Yea it is always good to try and grow a little something. Thank you for sharing
