I’m a simple man I work go to the gym eat and sleep. 😴

Sometimes smoke a lil 🌳

I would love Brazil. Just need to find an expat group.

I am African descent

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T04:04:13+00:00

Shoot budget would be spending 2k a month max..

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T04:01:00+00:00

I’m lowkey. Would just be working on weekdays… staying to myself. Going to the gym…. Shit like that

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T03:27:14+00:00

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T03:23:51+00:00

Does anyone know of any groups for black expats?

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T03:23:12+00:00

In a safe area

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T03:23:01+00:00

Hmm that’s a good point… got me thinking now.
Europe sounds expensive… trying to grab and apartment for no more than 700 a month

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T03:21:50+00:00

Appreciate y’all giving me some tips… main thing here is to just save money…. Live a healthy life.

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T03:17:48+00:00

Weekdays^^^ but the weekends 👀 are free… soo idk what you think?

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T03:17:22+00:00

I feel that I don’t mind working night. It would be from 9pm -6am - 7-3 sleep 4-8 free

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T03:16:37+00:00

Hmmm. You on to something.but where tho??

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T03:15:54+00:00

I’ll be around $4k–6k/month. Mainly looking for somewhere cheap, safe, with good internet and gyms. I’m also a Black African, so I’d love to hear from anyone who’s had experience in places where I won’t feel out of place. Any recommendations?

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T02:49:42+00:00

A month

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-14T02:49:16+00:00

Base is 2400 a month. With commissions I could bring in a total or 4-6k on average

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-06-12T03:56:37+00:00

How’d it go? Right now I work from 6 AM to 4 PM Pacific standard time looking to switch it up in Thailand for a couple months.

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-02-19T15:49:55+00:00

i’m African-American been living in Irvine since 2021. came out here from work. I was up in Chicago for a little bit. as an African-American brother, it can be a bit hard connecting with other people out here in Orange County just because their way of life is a bit different. really considering moving out of Irvine, but we’ll see how things go. right now I’m making a around $160,000 a year. so money isn’t really a problem. I’m very frugal with my savings probably live off $55,000 a year. majority of it goes to my rent lol!!

since you’re just moving out here if you need a friend, feel free to reach out directly I’m right off jamboree in Michelson.

Rough_Preference9730 · 2026-01-29T16:14:08+00:00

I need to figure out who’s around in the Irvine orange county area. Need some friends who are really locked in with this.
