yup

not too bad

that is only one way though

without transport for belongings

Which would be the idea, one way

True. But a just in case would be nice

if ur gonna move to the US permanently, might as well sell ur house in Africa

I live with my parents

And housing here isn't that valuable

how many siblings you got

domestic property value has risen below inflation

1

guess it wouldn't be too bad to move over

Going there isn’t the hard part. It’s moving there.

^^

exactly

I mean you don't need to bring your furniture over there

"might as well sell ur house in Africa"
A cheap 2-3 bedroom house with 1-2 bathrooms, garage and yard is 1 million ZAR

about 80K

My PC, tools, electronic crap and clothes would not fit in normal carry luggage though

"about 80K" Normal there?

For an apartment ur good

a house

you wont be able to get

lol

And we use brick houses that take years to build

You also dont pay for a whole house at once, 80k is more than enough for a down payment on any reasonably sized home

yeh

and an apartment is like 3k a month

"a house
you wont be able to get"

I'm assuming by house you mean one of those wooden jokes?

Only if you live in a coastal city that treats USD like monopoly money

this is what I mean by a house

$1500 a month anywhere else is going to be a pretty decent apartment

Country side is generally the best for houses

Places near the coast, like seattle, san francisco and florida cost way much more than a countryside house

"and an apartment is like 3k a month" Crap. Here that amount is like rent in a mansion.
8k ZAR is decent rent for a 3 bedroom, double garage, 2 bathroom brick house with a pool and half acre garden.

Even a moderately sized city inland has more sane rent

An apartment for 3k a month isnt the norm, Elbow

@Donaldus Triumphus That would be cheap here

that pic I mean

Partly because it would only last a few years
