Despite that I have a gut feeling that somehow I must someday unplug from the tedious job I am in with over working and under pay comparing to its relatives in developed countries like the United States.Īnd even though I managed to switch my employers whenever fit like a lady who gets divorce from her husband if he becomes abusive or not fit for provide and care.
My case is less fortunate however since I couldn’t do something similar and I don’t want to be a burden on my parents after so many years.Īpart from that, I can’t blame my own parents who raised me and guided me towards a decent life. He hated living in the country I live in and managed finally to persuade his parents hard enough so that they help him study a masters degree abroad and from my contact with him I learned that he is finally got a degree from a reputable university in the same field of mine. There is something missing!īack to my friend. Yes I am debt free I can save and I started investing little amount for cryptocurrencies to beat that inflation and I enjoy this privilege but even this privilege is not complete. why I notice this contradiction and how can I be wealthy.Īt the moment, my strategy so far saved me from being extremely poor or dependent on loans from people and banks. Basic goods like food and water are priced more than their double within a 6 month span and I always hear people complaining about the higher cost of living.īut the strange thing I see is the staggering amount of what I call “middle tier automobiles” such as the German triad “Mercedes, BMW, and Audi” streaming across the Capital’s streets and sometimes I notice exotic cars like “Porsche” and “Tesla” but they are not common.Īnd hence from this simple observation I got that question, How on earth in a “developing country” I see elements of wealth. My strategy so far after graduating is to work my way up in my profession and making my salary higher and I managed to do so in the difficult years of 20 only to find out it’s eaten out by the continuous inflation. The simple story is that the local currency is keeping devalued in the highest rate possible in front of the US dollar and continues to do so. He owned a car while I can’t afford one due to the very high price of it in my country. I work in the construction field with a degree in Civil Engineering and I have a friend who worked his way from my country of origin to the United States. Alas, imagine yourself living in a developing country in the Middle East graduating from a university with a “top” degree only to find out that you are in a shitty stressful job with minimal pay compared to your peers who have attained the same degree from 1st world countries.
