U either own a home or u rent for the rest of ur life. No matter expensive it is to build its 100x worth it than renting. Rent prices will keep rising as the years go by and if u calculate all those monies u will realise it's better to build.

Hi, Thanks for sharing your building experience. It looks great, keep up the good work. You are absolutely right about the importance of creating multiple sources of income. I do not want to continue living the way I do today. It is barely living, all I do is pay bills😞. I definitely want to know more🙏🏾

@Bilegagn
@Bilegagn 4 месяца назад
Good video Michael but you should remake the video with more details. Compare the complete total cost of the houses when payment is completed and also the dangers of falling behind on your mortgage regardless of how many years you’ve been paying Most of the initial ten year payment literally goes towards interest payment and much as building in Ghana can be daunting as some stages are money intensive, but you can genuinely see your investment as yours versus paying 4 years continuously and then missing 3 monthly payments, that house may go back to the bank very quickly

@michaelkale7572
@michaelkale7572 4 месяца назад
I’m not very well informed in the IT industry but from what my friends in the industry say, it’s easy to get an IT job with the right qualifications (not necessarily college degrees). Also, most of the big well known companies have some sort of presence in Texas. I paid mid 400s for my house and it’s appreciated a lot since we closed. 🙏
