@OrevaZSN Yep, $500k goes a long ways in Africa. Not so far in the US.

@TerryFromCnT @3UQbOGwqlz41234 @stephanl77 @OrevaZSN What I was focusing on from your previous post was your choice of using the word fair. Who decides what is fair?

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

@CarnageGetsIt Wow…the mortgage calculators in Nigeria are warped. Come to the US…much better situation.

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

@Zack_magaig Sorry…not what the constitution says!

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

@TerryFromCnT @stephanl77 @OrevaZSN Lol…pissed off another socialists…imagine that!

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

The constitution does not guarantee access to said markets. It guarantees all citizens the freedom and liberty to follow their dreams. Does everyone that wants to go to medical school get in? No! Does everyone that wants to play a professional sport get to? No! However, everyone has the freedom to try.

@TerryFromCnT @stephanl77 @OrevaZSN So what is your blooming point?

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

@jeremyct Interesting, I’ve been in Africa now for a month…nine countries and I’ve seen very few homes. You must be pretty lucky to have gotten one.

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

@TerryFromCnT @stephanl77 @OrevaZSN Absolutely…whether it’s a venture capitalist or your parents.

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

As soon as you use one of the “absolute” words like always or everyone…what follows is useless. I wasn’t talking about you…I was talking about people in general.
Now back to my original point. If you factor in the average increase of homes in square footage as compared to the median home prices, while factoring in inflation, you’ll find that housing costs have been almost equal.

@amandyobasi1 @elonmusk Now if we could convince “everybody” of that…all would be good.

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

@OrevaZSN Everybody has access to venture capital. Come up with an idea, develop a rock solid business plan and take it to them. Oh…wait…I forgot, you’re in Africa…that won’t work there…sorry!

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

@Jon_Blevins_ @OrevaZSN And of course you would be wrong! Nice try though.

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

@TerryFromCnT @stephanl77 @OrevaZSN You socialists crack me up. If capital was the determining factor, it would be only the people holding the capital that would be succeeding and not the person who has a unique and risky business plan.

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

@Deseret @epitts103 I guess you haven’t lived in nine states like I have. I’ll take Utah politics any day.

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

@TerryFromCnT @stephanl77 @OrevaZSN Lol…if that is true, the people he had access to or had connections with would have created the billion dollar business.

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

Tell me, how many people do you think could save enough to pay cash for a home…at any time in the past. Back in the 70s and 80s, people had a hard time saving for the down payment…banks were a lot more strick back then. Also, how many people today are willing to buy a 1200 sq ft home like my parents did?

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

@jeremyct I guess you don’t have much personal responsibility in Africa…just like in the US. Hey, we have that in common…not much else though…but it’s a start.

[Chris Williams @williacd55]

Lol…it’s all good until they give the job to someone willing to work for $85K and lose out on $33K. It would be rare to get a new job at more than twice one’s current salary. Get your foot into the door…prove your worth…negotiate at that point…or go elsewhere. Plus, Glassdoor’s information tends to be quite errant.
