I moved to America 30 years ago from Nigeria .We made all these mistakes until we as a family for years until we realized that we did not have to keep up with the Jones ! We educated ourselves and completely changed the way we handled our finances . We started savings from every pay check and vowed to use only cash for all purchases !Today we have a 4 bedroom house, mortgage paid off in 20 years , two cars paid off , and NO CREDIT CARD DEBT!! We do use credit cards to purchase as that is the safest way to buy , but every thing we buy we save for months in advance . The best thing we did was to invest in a system called 401k , which is the US self retirement savings and we are at a combined $800,000 and we are heading to a million ! We did not build a house in Nigeria ,but we did buy land and built wall and boys quarter .If we decide to retire in Nigeria then we will go there and build the house ! Maybe I should start a UA-cam channel!

Very apt!
My strategy is this, whatever credit amount you are taking, make sure you have it saved away for every of your credit account. For those trying to increase their credit score and don't get more than two credit accounts. Also, try buying some expensive "necessities" by cash fully paid, the retailer usually reports it to your bank and your bank further reports it to various credit agencies which helps your credit score. Borrowing and paying on time is not the only way to build your credit score. Thanks for the advice. All what you said are facts and reasons many members of our black communities whether immigrants or non-immigrants are struggling financially because we do not pay attention to our finances.
Finally, get a second hustle usually a small business.
Wow, well done.
Wow! You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing this. Huge!!
LIAR LIAR PEOPLE DONT LESSON TO THIS FAKED STORY STAY IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD YOU MAY STRUGLE BUT YOU WONT BE INSULTED EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIFE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE OF AFRICA
Beside the fact that your video quality is perfect, I just like the way you articulate the language. Keep it up and stay to the genuine.
You just made me laf so hard.. will really want to chat with you personally..which city do you live in?
Truee!!
Thank you so much! 😁❤️
first this i noticed
I also noticed that . His video quality is top notch
see this doesn’t look like a content this looks like this guy is genuinely talking to some of us….great content 💯
This video is one of the most important videos I have seen. I love your level of honesty, understanding and articulation.
I hope many people will see this video and learn from it. It is just perfect for the time.
Thank you brother.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
i totally agree .thank you and i can relate to some of the thinks
Am telling u. This is guy is so real, he is down to earth, very sincere and he understands his job here
I completely agree with you 💯 on establishing here first before back home.Wonderful advice, thank you
Thank you, Solomon, for this. I do hope that those coming to this country newly will learn
There’s nothing wrong with credit, but usage is very important! I made my first $100,000 in the US leveraging good credit. You want to grow in business in the US, take advantage of the credit system. The only time credit becomes a problem is when people use it to buy unnecessary things and they get stuck in debt.
you made first $100,000 leveraging on credits in your name or your business name ?
The UK isn’t America, my dear.

Welldone Bro. Great content. Yours is not for entertainment or gossip, it is real life.
I have lived here for close to 2 decades now.
Had to learn the hard way amd now being able to advise new immigrants.
To add to your point, which you mentioned, in some ways is for our people to stop competing. Stop being greedy.
Someone comes in newly, you see a doctor who has been here for about 5 years with a jeep, you want to jump on the car finance and also get a jeep.
Another thing, like you mentioned, people should check people out, before following their advise.
Check their track record .
You can't flow with someone whose mind set is low, even if they confess to be christians. Someone who believes that you can't rise to leadership because you are black, someone who believes that it is only care/low skilled work that Nigerians can do.
People should ask God to point them to Nigerians with skill, right mindset and Godly, who are making it and are willing to help. There are many of them.
Keep the good work.!
You nailed it … STOP competing and STOP being GREEDY .
Lovely video quality top notch editing and Thanks for being transparent and honest.
This is the deepest video of such a topic I have seen since I moved to the UK. So much depth and knowledge to take from this. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤

Hi @Nurse Solomon King, as someone who has lived in London for over 19 years , I would say your advice is completely spot on!

Very wise advice, I enjoyed watching your video. Life never stops teaching, keep learning. I can tell you now, there is loads more to learn.
You’ve learned more in 4 years than most do in a lifetime. I think the next 4 years and beyond are going to go great for you, good luck.

Beautiful!! Thanks for this wisdom-packed video. Focusing on the future/long-time goal.

This is a well put together video. I thoroughly enjoyed it
This was fun watching. Nice connecting with you!
You have spoken with wisdom, notes taken 👏🏾👏🏾
The first advice I received was from someone who had made a mistake of building a house back home. He told me,please buy a house here,buy properties here,invest where you're living. I held on to that advice!
Full focus mode now! No distractions allowed. Our investments will produce the financial freedom and all the nice things we will delay now.
Thank you for the comment. ❤️
I’ll advise you to build back home cos you don’t know what the future holds.
But don’t forget to build a house back home , I know friends whom lived in Ukraine and invested there , but look now all gone .
The best decision I made was to build apartments for rent back home.
I also understand everybody's luck and life is different...so do you.
Interesting perspective here. I guess the plan is to not ignore home investment too, yeah?
Since I have been in the uk 🇬🇧 a year now some months this is best narration I ve head coming to dis uk 🇬🇧 , all u said are 💯 true , some of the info I already known but some I was stil contemplating b4 now but listening to u it’s just confirmed to me of what informed choice to make
Keep it up bro
Thank you Solomon. I just love your intro. Truth you are saying. Just subscribed. Thank you
First time coming across this channel but this is profound.
It is good i am hearing from you at the right time because i just moved into the UK ,thanks for sharing your mistakes so that we can learn from it.
You done well my brother, considering all the trouble out there. Its good to see you've learned from your mistakes hindsight is beautiful but it's not the same at the time. Use your new-found wisdom to better yourself :)

Absolutely supa advice. Thank you for sharing
Thank you, nurse Solomon
Sound advice for us UK nationals as well as newcomers, all the best going forward good Sir.
Wow! Well spoken Sir. This is such a great speech and I’m hoping other nurses like you take your advice. Lesson learnt here is do your research, have a plan, watch your back and don’t follow others. Don’t hang your hat higher than your hands can reach. Save wisely , be smart and rip the rewards after.
I love your delivery and oratory prowess. Keep it up.
Very insightful. Thank you!
This is by far one of the best yet simple videos I’ve watched on UA-cam. It’s interesting that people dabble into things they don’t even understand. May God keep teaching us all.
Great video content, I appreciate the honesty.
Thank you so much. This is so apt. I'm in the middle of something right now,grateful this came up. Sticking to my original plans❤

In all of this please take out time to enjoy yourself. This life is only once. Buy things that make you happy, enjoy your hard work. At the end of it all, life is all about the good and bad moments and not about all the money shift you worked.
Amazing content. I completely agree with your POV especially around limitations, most people advising you to settle for any type of job.
Also happy your channel is finally getting the much deserved attention. Cheers to consistency.
Look forward to seeing more content around this
This is one of the most realistic UA-cam video I have ever seen. I didn't experience any of this but as someone who sort of grew up in the UK, this is what I would tell anyone new and he's so on point.
