Remember couple years ago I lost my job due to illness that was paying me over 20$ an hour. Was devastated because I was living pay check to pay check. I got another job paying me 11$ an hour, little bit but I had to work that job until I got back another job that pays over 20$. Someone called me from JA asking for money to buy a cylinder and I told him I just lost my job, his response was how come I don't have any money. No sympathy no empathy no concern. Let's just say that's was my last conversation.
Want to tell you link back but mi know the feeling and mi woulda be a hypocrite cause mi no link back yet but it no feel right
Honestly weh u do wid u money though? Lol can’t blame him fi ask a rass 😂 some a unuh a live bigger than unuh pocket in foreign a that a gwan.
I never have a problem a send nobody money yet fi can’t send a 50 or a hundred dollar from foreign and u live a foreign fi years u honestly a cruff. Mi never send hundred dollar a yard yet the least mi ever send a 2 or more, most a unuh can’t hold back unuh self.
@@papichulo3987 me and brother pays all my parents bills in Jamaica. Plus buy them groceries, medication and Doctors bills. They are my main priority. I'm a single mom with a mortgage and bills that comes with that.
@@bebebe1354 well hope you learn from your past experience
This video is so relatable because a lot of my family is overseas and I never ask them for anything I let them ask me if I want something and I always tell dem the cheapest stuff, the reason y I don’t ask is because this is the same way I feel. Life is hard everywhere, give them a break and help them feel loved.
This is exactly how I act towards my family as well
So it fi go. I don't ask people for things all when mi need it and if them offer, I make a very considerate and conscious choice.
I never ask my family overseas for anything and they never offer anything either (which is fine) even though a number of them are in a good financial position. Pride is the main factor at play for me. I also have this urge and determination to make it in Jamaica without having to migrate for a better life.
Oh
Yeah Mon jus
I don’t want anyone to call me with their money problem!!! I have more than enough responsibilities!
When you can admit that you use to have those negative aspects about yourself as a youth, it really shows personal GROWTH.
Great content.

Top beg man ! Just say subscribe, and put in the work, rate you real talk though Dale
@@jamcology4053 How di man a beg? You reason like a dunce, u did go school?
Bredda, this a the realest talk ever.... this was something that was needed.
@@nickbear9 , asshole it was just a honest expression not a disrespect I follow Dale on different platforms.
@@nickbear9 and no I never went to school just you .
Real talk-why isn’t there an acknowledgment that life is rough in America as well? Why call ppl who don’t send remittances “selfish” or “mean”? When ppl send the little extra money they have to take care of able-bodied individuals in Jamaica -how do they save for retirement? How do they put down money for emergencies? Or save to put their kids through college? Or simply enjoy the fruits of their labor by taking an actual vacation to somewhere other than Jamaica? No one is entitled to be vex or in their feelings over not having access to another person’s money. (Caveat: this does not apply to people with children who they brought into the world and are financially responsible for)
If you can't just say you can't
@@trenchkident731 I have no problems with saying “no”- my issue is with how quick people are labeled as “selfish”, “badmine” or “mean” when they get a no or hear that a person said no.
@@Hidden2u facts
Unfortunately a lot of Jamaicans feel like they're entitled and are very inconsiderate, when they don't know or understand your circumstances living abroad.
Good podcast.. Keep it up 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
You and ya friends dem stop post post on social media and pretend like unu rich and a run up credit card and trick ppl
As a yaadie living in Texas now with no family in the same state I can relate to everything you said in the video about Jamaicans living abroad. In America we really on our own out here, my closest family is in Florida. It gets lonely but there’s a sense of accomplishment that comes from knowing that you’re really making life for yourself. When mi music buss and me get rich a right back a Jamaica me gone 😂Big up yuhself Dale!
My daughter go UWI and no care how much I send her she never call to say she get it smh.
Things might be expensive in Jamaica but you can always find food on tree in Jamaica,foreign is not like that…
I’ve been binge watching your episodes all weekend and it is so refreshing to see this side of you.
Realest discussion on yt rn. I had to block and cut off, mother , father, brother, sisters, granny... everybody. My mental health struggled as a young person and even considered an out due to the stress. They don't know what it is like being a trying immigrant in a foreign country all while being black and young. Sometimes we living from couch to couch and even floor and dem deven know!
Think a joke
Buy a ticket and head back home
FACTS💯 been sleeping on the floor for 2yrs now!
@@86kenoNo, dont give up! He must hang in there things will get better.
I prefer to waste my own money than have someone else waste it 😂
Selfish
@@sagesmama2248 ok send your money come then😂
@@sagesmama2248 how Dem selfish fi spend Dem own money. You too entitled
I just realized this bredda is the star of the running movie 👍😂. I appreciate the reasoning... however here's my two cents, It's hard for Jamaicans who aren't earning US dollars, to believe that people in the states have it hard at times. They are just looking at the high currency and feel everyone have it. I have never traveled still here on the island but have full knowledge of these things.
1. Often times the person overseas is the breadwinner of the family that assume the financial responsibilities of the family back home. Considering those family don't have any other source of income/social safety net like pension, for some people sending remittances and maintaining yourself in whatever country is a big sacrifice. Sacrifice meaning you put the family and priorities first. You don't have the time or opportunity to step back and do anything you genuinely want to do for yourself cos you have to value your money and time in line with priority.
2. Jamaica is undeniably expensive. Like Jamaica, the person overseas is fighting for pay rise and if they cant get it they sometimes end up doing multiple jobs. When prices in Jamaica continue to sky rocket and the person overseas isn't making much more, that puts extra stress on the person overseas cos when 100US could pay the bills back then, now they gotta be sending 300US for bills. More sacrifices for the person overseas and how does that come? That person will either have to do extra work or end up with less savings for themself.
3. A lot of Jamaicans have no regards for mental health issues. A person overseas away from home automatically induced stress. Having to make all those sacrifices to make sure your relatives are good, in that person's mind, there is little to no room for failure and they always on the go. Any shortcomings and they get screwed, they family back home is the one that suffer which through having those thoughts in your head only put you through stress and depression.
4. I don't know if people back home ever look at these perspectives before instead of jeering those who have to do multiple jobs to stay afloat.
5. When jamaicans and overseas nationals have social media tit for tat, you sometimes see the narrative that overseas people have to save a whole year to come Jamaica. That statement is so funny because if someone has to save for years to visit somewhere only shows how expensive and unaffordable a place is.
It’s stressful. Sometimes your next 2-3 paychecks have already been claimed for some emergency like you getting sick or having to fix your car. So you’re trying to find a way to pay your bills and eat to get calls from people who don’t even work begging.
It’s cheaper to vacation in Jamaica if you don’t tell family you’re going and don’t stay at the family house. Remember that’s it’s not simply going on vacation when you go back. You’re bringing back money to give out, money to buy food for the house, you’re filling up everyone’s tank that drove you, you’re sending down barrels, you’re taking everyone out, you’re bringing things for everyone in your suitcase including the clothes you brought for yourself, everyone is sick now and everything doesn’t work anymore. You’re coming back on that plane with barely any money left, barely any clothes you brought down and your credit card bill waiting on you…to then get calls for more money.
💯 but really its all about management. Sometimes you have to take care of yourself first and the ppl backhome just gonna have to fend for themselves unless its kids your mining. Nothing less. Stop mining grown able bodied people!
Bro I’m answering my phone and I ain’t gonna tell any lies that I don’t have any money to send… if I see no reason to send money I’ll say I ain’t sending it.
More time it’s just the appreciation and simple thank you goes far.
When you send 100$ if a $10 hour you get pay 10 hrs worth of work to make that reach you.
I don’t think people don’t want to send money it’s the lack of gratitude and appreciation.
I got a friend that went to JA and came back upset. Told me he did a surprise trip nd before hand he had send down a box with food. So that when he get there he could clear it nd surprise this family with the box. He said the person he bought the food for looked him dead in this eyes nd said. "Next time just send the money because I could use that money right now to get my hair done to go out this weekend but thanks still"
Rass. Same suh.
Damn.
He said that to his face 😀😀😀 I would never do that again until I get an apology but knowing how some Jamaicans lack emotional intelligence they are going to think what they said was not offensive hands they’re not going to know what they should’ve apologize for you just be dead silence from both ends
Wow. Hair better than food
Sheesh
If I send money to someone and they don't say thanks and don't let me know that they get it that would be the last time because principal goes a long way
You get a email or a text when the money pick up....How u stay so lol! haha You get ackee and Breadfruit, goathead soup, KFC when u touch down a yah thanks that
@@86keno I buy what I want and need when I come to JA don't ask or expect anything from anyone 😏 that's how I roll
I agree my family does that and I hate it.
would love to hear how it was growing up as a "barrel pickney", how it affected you mentally, how you practiced forgiving your parents, what it was like growing up with your grandparents, and how it shaped you.
Please wid cherry on top.
As a Jamaican that has lived in the US for more than 25 years...it's refreshing to hear your perspective from both sides.
I find it a bit jarring, hearing him say people are hypocritical, because there not sending money, just sounds crazy.
Facts
Some people a Jamaica have gardener ,maid, them children go private school and own dem own house and still a beg
I know a lot of people who needs to hear this 👀
Everyone from the diaspora needs to hear this.
All I can say is... THE PRESSURE REAL FROM JAMAICAN FAMILIES... I WISH MORE PPL WOULD COME OUT AND TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS SO OUR PPL IN 🇯🇲 CAN KNOW THAT THE STRUGGLE IS REAL ABROAD... SO 🇯🇲s APPRECIATE THE LITTLE U GET BACK FROM UR RELATIVES ABROAD 🙌
I just sent this video in my family group chat!!!!!
Same thing mi do
I respect your transparency so much your experience and examples hit home for me as a TRINBAGONIAN anyone from Africa, South America, or the Caribbean can really relate. I have lived in America for 33 years and I had both Family and friends ask for money or items but it feels like it’s never enough. And a lot of them are ungrateful because they will criticize the amount you able to send or the brand name items you can afford to send not taking into consideration how had it is out here dealing with racism, bad weather and making ends meet depriving our responsibilities to try to send a money back home. Honesty is the best policy Begging is not cool.
Really good episode. I remember my grandma asking if I got the money and mom telling me to say yea… to this day idk which money grandma a talk
Great job Dale, I watch all your podcasts
100% correct. Not until someone visit the United States or live in the United States they don’t know the things we go through. Like the mortgage Has to be paid, light bill, phone bill, food, school, all the necessities in life we have to work for everything, it is quite rare we’ are getting anything for free. In the beginning stage you were going through childhood trauma, your mother and your father were not there You got smart. You have a growth mindset. This is why you are in the position of being an entrepreneur. You took a situation and made it a better situation for your future. Enough respect!
Yes but, most a dem think u lying when u tell dem u don’t have di money when u rlly don’t have it
Keep blessing the people with the knowledge..May the most high bless you
Great content! Real and raw and able to look at yourself first and grow. I wish we would all do this. Great Great conversations..keep it up
Where the voice is loud and reasoning is raw
Your Reasoning are spot on talking about the thing that ppl have in there mind and sacred to say and u speaking off experience
Bless up ⬆️
Big up my G this one a shocker for most families back home 🇯🇲.
Is hard concrete in but we still make it active 🇺🇸.
Wow! Your honesty is heartwarming..thank you for saying the things you have..it will enlighten the masses
Big up yourself, just leaving a comment to support another fellow Jamaican ❤️🇯🇲💯
Love eh insight weh dale a give cuz a sum topic weh few ppl tlk bout
Thanks for doing this video. This is enlightenment for a lot of young people.
May God continue to bless you 🙏
I'm a Jamaican I just sub to your channel. You talk nothing but facts on a serious level respect
I agree with the content. I wish you had touched on the people in Jamaica that forget that people in US have a family in the US to support. How can you send money to adults in JA when you have little children to support?
Just say you dont have it
Thank you so much for this topic. As a Jamaican living in America working two jobs, gratitude is a must. Nuff blessings continuously
One love one ❤️ Great job 🔥
I truly love how raw and unbiased you are on your content. Few years ago I was so down and low to a point where I have to get assistance from my father overseas and a few cousins. Like u said , it’s better they say they don’t have it than try fi go round we. But what I’m observing these days ppl would rather go full 💯 to bury you than help u with your struggles. While a few can genuinely assist wen they can others really can’t. But family overseas would rather pay for your final expenses than to help u be a better person
Go get up n goo look wok
I love all of your videos 🔥🔥it’s very informative.
Some be working it from many angles. They have aunts, sisters, brother, father in rotation. I finally got over the guilt when I don't have it to send. When you send money for school fee and uniforms and people choose not to go to school or flunk out, what is your family supposed to do? When family send soccer shoes to go practice with scouts and find our a year later t he person wasn't going, what should the stressed out person do? When barrel after barrel show up with food and no one want to cook but want more money to go eat out what should the family in America think? Its draining!
Dale you are spot on. I have had that experience for decades and finally breaking this spell. Many people abuse us and never consider that several person's are calling constantly and other than requesting money you can go to hell as far as they are concerned. Bless you for speaking the unadulterated truth. I love you brother.
I listened to your podcast twice , amazing !!
Listen. I agree wholeheartedly with you Dale. I lived my mom until migrating here and calling my father to ask for anything was the hardest thing to do. Mommy told us to call but we went without and it was so hard on her. She'd ask and if he sends, he, like you said thinks the $200 should last long for 3 kids and then some. But I digress. Big up yuhself. The Podcasts a gwaan.
Very relatable subject…hopefully both sides are watching your video. You’ve found your niche. Keep it up!
Real medz .. he found his market I see. And we are a very good target for something's are never being discussed and I'm glad he has chosen to do this when no one else is.
Well put together reasoning, bar none, big up Dale 👊
Another great one ☝🏾 keep it up you’ve got another subscriber!!
Fi real .. mi madda call me and ask me how I’m doing .. and mi tell her seh it’s rough and she said ok great .. then ask fi money
Lmao
🤣
Good podcast fam dale , mi pree both sides too bcz I was on both at 1 point ,it make me appreciate th family that used to help mi caz mi think it did easy
keep the good convo coming bro bro 🇨🇦
Love the balance reasoning Dale.
I'm a Jamaican and I have several friends and family members abroad and I've NEVER called any of them to ask for money💯💯 People have their own problems and responsibilities... and living in America is not easy. It's all about mindset.
Facts... I really do like this podcast you started ... very interesting and you are really touching on some topics that really do needed to air out . I dont see anyone doing it so you'll hit a million sub in no time . #thevoiceofthejamaican#
I second your comment. I don't see no one have the courage to have real life conversations like this. They all just copying each other. This is fresh this is what we need.
@@pinenginga for real...
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 WORD , LOVE U PODCAST 💯
Amazing channel! I love the content, audio quality and how you put your points across. Keep up the good work.
Much appreciated!
Facts bro 💯.
I set my thing away where my family member dem overseas have to offer me things...if one of them see me begging it must be towards school, something i really need or even a business idea. Other from that mi Nah beggy like that, mada grow mi different. More while mi have a food and mi beg the next half and a just so mi do it.

Yo dale big up yuh self yuh zeet! To gain more followers you can clip up piece a yuh podcast and post them pon tik tok to promote yuh thing.
Lots of Facts zeen...Big up 🖤🖤
Big up dale your a real one💯🤛
Positive energy! Great topic!
Congratulations on 20 K 👏🏾🎈🔥🎊🍾🎉🎈
G, a spit facts from both sides
Here's the thing....sometime ppl in the U.S are struggling also and will never ask their Jamaican relative/ friend because they understand life rough all around but the gratitude is super important and if u only talk to someone when you a beg summen that relationship nuh genuine.
Dale you’re so so informative keep up the good work son❤
Appreciate this type of content
Another banger! Proper reasoning👊🏽
Thanks for your candor
The only person i used to send money to was my mother because I am obliged to look after her. Anybody else mus go work, same as how i have to work a foreign. When i went out there to live for 4 years, i was surprised at the many jobs advertising but yet in some communities you had young people who didn't want to work. Also i found Jamaica a place where you can easily hussle money. I ended up with 3 businesses. Some people just want easy life, so i leave them to suffer.
Dale I really do enjoy your content
You are so so real , very Jamaican should watch this video
I feel like you was talking to me love this video big up
Thanks for this video much needed message❤
Good podcast. Keep up the good work.
Talk true a real talk my G 💯🔥
good talk fam.
People from home don't understand the situation. They don't understand that most times you don't even want to go to the mail box because it's filled with bills. People back home will tell you they aren't going to Western Union to collect no $100.
Intelligent young man ⚡️⚡️great analytical thinking 💥🙌🏽 #foodforthought
The unemployed Jamaicans need fi go look work. I would not be sending my hard earned money to any adult in Jamaica who ain’t working unless it’s a to help out a really tough situation or if it’s for my child or parents well-being. No other adult or person is entitled to my money! Not even a cent. Do they know how I make a living? Jamaicans in Jamaica should not feel entitled to someone else taking care of them through remittances. This is quite appalling and downright sickening. What kind of lazy, dependent adults would I be enabling? What a piece a brightness! It helps now one.
Love the topics from wah day yah ❤️
Sometimes even when you tell ppl when you don’t have it they badmind you and say you switch up
yoooo keep up the big thang
This was good.. kept it up
Real talk me we help somebody wah work me nah help no boy are gyal weh nuh wah work enuh. Family n friends will beg n never ask if you good yet. But me just laugh n gwan. Rate the reasoning general

I respect your honesty bro, Great podcast, keep this going.
U just send wi over here boss 🇺🇸. 👍🏿
You right on all fronts, but some times we make a promise, and something more important springs up unexpectedly,There is always a new bill in a farin.plus some Jamaican don't need the money its wants, and they do not spend the money wisely .but we should always try and help.so instead of sending money .buy a laptop or a tablet for a school as.
