I have 5 suggestions for you. (1) Sell your things in storage. (2) Inform your brother that you must reduce expenditures and that he is only to call once or twice a month for 10 minutes each. (Can you rent your building out in Texas? If so, do so immediately. (4) Let your daughters know that you are on a budget and you will no longer be able to afford their high expenses. (5) Put all your expenditures in writing and then speak with a professional financial manager. Remember you have earned your place in life and everyone else must learn to earn theirs.

hiii daddy !! this is your 14 year old daughter😂. i 100% understand and i feel for you a lot because you have to take care of me and on top of that a 24 year old who DOESN’T LISTEN😤. i don’t want to move to ghana because that’s such a big change for me. i am also willing to move to ghana because i know me living here is a part of the reason my father can’t enjoy himself in his dream home and that really gets to me. so if i have to go i’ll go, but i wouldn’t be the same. i’m praying that whatever happens, things work out for everyone involved in this.

Hey my little princess 🥰❤️🥰 I’m so glad that you understand what’s going on. You know sometimes In life change is what we need. The greatest Discovery of all time is a person can change their future by merely changing their attitude and by surrounding themselves around new people that are doing new things. You are a very smart young lady, especially to even understand what could be good for the both of us. Im so happy that you are willing to move here to better the situation and you’re right, moving here won’t be the same, and that’s only because it’s gonna be better than living in the United Slaves States of America. It’s gonna be a great experience. At first it may be a little loose, but you’ll grow into it 😅 Now if Amanda could find her a better job or you guys relocate to a more affordable place by the time I come there In July it’ll be cool, but if not, pack your bags we’re going to Africa ✈️ 🌍 I love you and talk to you later ☺️

I would give it a try for a year and if it's too hard I'm sure your dad would bring you back to the states. But I'm sure you would see how lovely life will be and all the great friends you can make in ghana. I pray your family continues to flourish and God lead you all! 🙏🙏🙏

My condolences to you on the passing of your mother. 🙏🏽 I'm so proud of you and I don't even know you. As you get older you will find life will bring changes and sometimes it's for the better. You are blessed to even have a father who wants to be with his baby girl. There are other children who don't know where there dad is located. It will be scary I'm sure but amazing as well. So get ready to enjoy yourself. 😊 Make new friends, experience the beauty of nature and we will be waiting for you and your dad to make fun videos you in Ghana. Inspire other teenagers to travel! 🌍You never know you might be able to be an ambassador for youth in America to visit Ghana. Keep us posted! Blessing to you and your father.🥰

Sell the furniture in Michigan or heck give it away but don’t spend money moving furniture from Michigan to TX. It’s summer break invite your daughter to be your special guest in Ghana for the summer….the young people adapt faster than us she just might want to stay! I forgot the issue with the phone….

Please forgive me because I know that you started your response off to your dad as "Hi Dad" So although it feels personal I can't help but relate being that I have daughters also sweetheart & we experienced the very same thing 😬 but their older now though they weren't when we first came to Ghana 🇬🇭 which was in 2016 & I unlike your dad was never really able to give them a choice so it helps me relate to other's as they come to Ghana 🇬🇭 w/ similar situations but as of now my daughter's are much older, so the middle one is 25 but she was only 18 when we came & my youngest my baby daughter is 22 but when we came in 2016 she was only 15 so that's pretty close in age to you & to be honest she sounded a lot like you & eventually she did leave & now she's back in the state's so it really is a big change dear I do understand but your dad 😍 you & he has year's of experience when it comes down to the art of survival & what's best for you so as he said thing's are really changing these day's & this time around these changes are destined to not only affect the African continent ( 🇬🇭 ) but it'll also begin to affect America as well in ways that it never has before so thanks for being so brave 👏🏽 in giving your dad the benefit of the doubt & agreeing to give it a chance as he continues to set up your future should it ever come to you permanently changing your mind about what's better off for your living arrangements & you can always return if you just can't bare it w/ the understanding that you'll also be returning to bill's 🤣🤔🤣 which is what my daughter currently deals w/ but hey @ least she's in the state's working & supporting herself & she 😍 her job though this was only after "going homeless " but that's also a part of life for some so I'm happy 😊 that your willing to consider Ghana 🇬🇭 for a bit & can't wait until your dad is posting a "she's arrived video " video so we can all yell A K W A B A 🎈🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉

Sell everything that you have in storage that you are not going to need and you can put those storage fees to better use. Tell your brother to call you once a month or he can write you letters. Tell your daughter that she will have to come and live with you in Ghana because its too expensive where she is. She's a minor and the decision as to where she is to live should be yours. I know that you want her to be happy but she needs to understand that Ghana is home for you and when she turns 18 she can decide where she wants to live and work.

Amelio, I have two grown sons. I had to put them out due to their lifestyle when they were 20 and 22 years of age. They are now 26 and 32. I gave them everything they needed and wanted when they were home with me. They've been living on their own since then, struggling, but they're making it. I said all of that to tell you that you have done what you needed to do for your children, they are adults; except for your 14 year old. The other 3 need to work and help themselves, that way they will know the value of a dollar instead of asking you for money. Me personally, I had to cut my sons off from asking me for money because I was their crutch to lean on, but I had to show tough love and constantly pray for them and ask Jehovah God to watch over them. I hope this helps and I'm praying for you and your family. ✌🏽❤️🙏🏽

@@KuttyJoe no. That is the decision the parents make. Tough decisions have to be made. If he leaves her and something bad happens, it may be his fault if he leaves. That burden will weigh too heavily on his soul. If he brings her and something bad happens and she doesn’t want to come, the same outcome but reversed. But if he tries and she doesn’t come and doesn’t want to…. I hope you are getting the point. All he can do for a 14 year old is bring her. She is 14. When she is 18, the decision is hers. It will then be her faith. She will be grown. Or he can go back and regret it and blame her…

Brother I've lived in Ghana for 3 years now. My suggestion is sale everything(Like I did in U.S) and focus on building here. I made a very good salary, big home and to very nice cars(All of wish was still on credit). Then after 5 years get your dual citizenship and move on. As far as family again offer them to stay in Ghana, but let them know (accept for your underage daughter) the rest of your family they must grow up and longer stress you over funds, because you are trying to build something here(Africa) for the generations to come. If they need help you can help finance them if they bring what they have and come to Africa and help you on this mission. That's what I did and I advice you to do also. Yes my home is 90% built and my businesses are doing fine. I hope this help because you will have to let Erica(America) go, because she is like sponge and will continue to suck up all your funds. Also call your brother on what's app on your Ghana phone. If he don't have what's app then demand he get it to save you money.

If I was in your shoes i would find a sincere and trustworthy person to handle my business in Ghana while I am gone, then come back to the U,S, and rack-up some fund for myself, And give my daughter one more opportunity to come with me, If she does not wish to then she has plotted her own destiny so I would give her one lump sum of whatever I could afford , a long hug and a see you again soon I pray, then I would stash some money to the side for my brother whose incarcerated and head on back to the motherland. I got four more years to retire from this civilian job that I am working, and I already told them I will not be returning once I leave unless it's an urgency with my children. I am taking care of them now so I will not have to later. You have to let them know that you are putting yourself in a jam maintaining them as adults, offer them what help you can and let them know that after this they're on their own when it comes to progressing.

They don't want you to miss work, 2 weeks of vacation a year, and if you get a month of vacation, you can't take it all at once. You can't retire until you are 72. They're hoping you would be dead by then. They use your tax money to harass you or family with the judicial system, tickets, irs, and mandatory insurance, paid informant to sabotage your community growth. You never own your home!! If you don't pay property taxes, they take it. Im over it ❤️💛💚✊🏾🖤 we're gone on the first thing smoking when we get a chance.

My advice is to come move your things, make sure everyone is good and bounce. As far as mine, I told them that everyone is over 18 and can make their own choices but the 3yr old cant.

Damn bro. First time seeing you content. I left the U.S for Brasil back in 2019 so I get what you are going through especially with the storage..etc back in the U.S. It seems like whatever you have going on in the U.S. is stopping u from living your dream. One thing that i've learned for certain is that sometimes you need to cut bait, and start from scratch. It's tough but you shared your issue so here's my 2 cents. You have to set boundaries with your bro them jail calls are super expensive. Limit them. Pens and paper are still around. Hopefully your daughter can live with you. Kids are more adaptable than we give them credit for. She'll get over it, plus she'll treasure the time ya'll are together. She'll be 18/21 soon enough, you'll never get that time back. As far as your storage unit. Unless it's heirloom/legacy stuff, sell or donate it. You can make better use of that money that you are basically giving them. Lastly, sorry to hear about the loss of your wife. I can't imagine how difficult that is. I wish you well in your future. It seems Ghana is slowly becoming more expensive as time goes on, me personally, I'm looking to E. Africa, either way I'm glad you were able to leave the U.S. and master your possibilities elsewhere.

That building could've been helping u financially, instead coming back here for their damn$$$$ which has always been the devil himself! Maybe, u could get rid of the furniture and everything in storage,whether u sell or give away, leave the adult children alone after a real sit down conversation with them, and take the minor child with u to Ghana, for her to have the first hand upbringing that u were not able to get to Ghana sooner, to benefit from. She'll know the culture, language, and everything else. Just my two cents. Please please rethink coming back here for their damn dollars that can trap u into a caged animal, as u chew off your own foot, just to find your escape out off there. Go and sort everything out quickly,don't stay there for money, and after u sell the furniture and everything else, whatever little money u get, come back quickly and finish the Airbnb and start making some cedis to take care of yourself. Please think thru carefully, and don't trap yourself unecessarily, then u lose all the peace u have found in your own country where u belong in the first place!!! U don't need their dollars anymore since u made the smart decision to walk away! It helped u build this nice home, that's all their damn money is good for anyway,its the devil itself, see how it's sucking u back in again?? Sort things out and come back home with the minor child, since it seems like u have custody of her anyway. Let her be in Ghana to cultivate a better life. Good luck. Keep us posted, bro.

Few suggestions. You can go back to America to regroup. Sort out your kids and pause your brother responsibilities . Sell some of your items in storage or apartments that you do not need (get $). Put the remaining items in your business in Texas. Try to see if you can get a remote job while you’re in usa. You really need two stable businesses to survive in Ghana. You can bring your daughter for visit in Ghana. How old are your kids? Where are they staying? Please don’t make a rush decision. Take few days off and iron things up before traveling.

There were so many great suggestions already given. Definitely get rid of those storages. If you haven’t touched those items in years, you don’t need them. Sell what you can and give away the rest to deserving people or organizations. Consider WhatsApp or zoom for calls with your brother. No more $1 per minute calls. Because you already have a platform on the expat process, maybe you can host fellow Americans by renting out space in your home for visits to Ghana. This will add another stream of income. Bring your daughter to Ghana for the summer and see if she adjusts. It’s an adjustment in regards to living in Ghana, so at least see if she can deal. Best wishes to you brother! Remain in the heights and all will flow as it needs to.

The one mistake I see that you’re putting yourself into is that you’re taking care of everyone except yourself. In order to help everyone, you must first take care of yourself. What I suggest is that you put a halt on everything! Find a quiet time/space and start to reconfigure everything. Your finances, your relationships with others that putting you in this financial bind. You’re going to have to reassess everything, start fresh. From there after recollecting your thought process, you’ll have a clear vision on how to move forward.

This is such a easy fix. Curtail talks with brother, it’s funny people locked up love to talk on your dime, so limit the calls to what you can afford. If your living in Africa why are you storing furniture. Let it go and move on. It seems you may not have that close connection with your daughter or as you say “That little girl”. Vince why she does not want to come to Africa. I would establish with whomever is taking care of her a set payment you can afford. Her taste of expensive living your not responsible for but providing care that your able to help and still survive is what could be agreed on. If the daughter is yours, your right to raise and take her to Africa should not be challenged. It really seems that as you said your money is very tight and you have no choice but to go back and work to handle your business. Many people are doing that so if it has to be done no need to trip. I hope the best for you but letting go of jail calls and storage fees possibly could go towards your daughters upkeep.

My 14 year old has a cash app card and I always keep money in her pocket for what she needs, but my oldest daughter whom she is living with is not a good money manager at all. For the last 2 months I’ve been having to help her with rent when all we agreed on was for me to put something on the light bill since my 14 year old is living there. I have some friends there in Texas that could possibly help her find another job because the one she has just ain’t cutting it. I do have full custody of my 14 year old. I just gave my oldest daughter power of attorney to be able to take here in and out of school and take her to the doctor if need be. The last thing I want to do is have to go back to work just to stack up more money to help my 24 year old daughter, because I’m actually good with the money I have coming in.

I was paying $333/month for 12 years, and when I hired movers to ship my containers back to me, they stole everything, and between California, North Carolina, Illinois, Maryland and Washington, DC, no jurisdiction would do anything; each claiming that they had no authority. I spent more on storage fees than everything was worth. I know you love your brother, but there's nothing you can do for him. Maybe contribute to his commissary account, but the phone calls have to stop.

All said , you’re in the best position to advice yourself on the best course of action to take on current situation, you understand it better. And I don’t believe you can relieve all your family members from their current economic situation by going there to take up residence and employment, your bills may go up and further exacerbate the problem. My thoughts and prayers for your family. Be strong . 🙏

My condolences for you and the family loss. Change is complex. Ghana is where your heart is now. You have moved on but not out. Come back to the US to regroup. Set a time frame and stick to it no matter what. Rent out your house in Ghana or sub lease. Reach out to others with Ghana in mind and exchange ideals. The storage issues +, will have to be settled here in the states. Your daughter may want too travel to Ghana. The trip of a true lifetime. Enlightenment!!! Wishing you the best! You will be fine.

You are obligated to care for your 14 year old as she is a minor. Everything else is manageable if you are willing to take the hard stance, issue a little tough love. meelahme has great advice. Your brother needs to limit his calls to no more than twice per month.

My condolences to you & your daughter . An under- age child can not and should be allowed to make adult decisions . In this case , who is the adult & who is the child ? This is fundamental in parenting and one of the major things that has been lost in our Black community . It is so sad and frightening . But just like the Bible says , you reap what you so & we all have to account for our own actions, whether ther be good or bad .

I say all you need is a 4-year plan. So take the job in Tennessee and keep your house in Ghana (don’t ever sell it) you can visit during vacation While working in TN. Also this buys you time to be able to find ways to improve your business (reduce the slowness). Meanwhile your 14 yo daughter becomes 18. A little retreat to reload is part of the offensive.

My Brother, I ve been following your channel for a while and I know you are Pan Africanist which I am too. I also relocated back to Africa 4 yrs ago. However, if situation demand that you go back to the States to work a little more, pls do that asap. The good thing is that you already built a personal house in Ghana and hoping to complete an additional rental property beside it. Also you are no longer a Newbie in Africa (Ghana) and you also already have friends and associates there, so it's just an added advantage to you. Pls 🙏 Don't panic, it's just a situation that needs urgent action or decisions. Thank God you said you already have a job offer in Tennessee. Pls go back and work just a little bit more in order to push (support) yourself and family further down the stream. You can set a target of say 1 to 2yrs or maybe 3yrs Max. Time goes by fast, you only need to be positive in your mind, in your thinking and action. See it like a vacation. Then you can visit Ghana once or twice a year for the target period you set for yourself. Meanwhile, you need to cut down your brother's call since it's expensive and by the way you shouldn't have been using your USA phone frequently in Africa bcos of Roaming. That's why it's more expensive. You should have bought yourself a separate phone that uses Ghana Sim card. Tell him to only call you maybe once or twice a month and the call should not be too long. That calls for discipline. Alternatively you can both text on WhatsApp but I doubt if Govt allow people in Penitentiary access to texting using WhatsApp. Finally, I tell you going back is an opportunity for you to get rid of your monthly storage payment by putting all your stuff / properties in one place (house) that you already have in Texas. However, I will suggest that you sell off whatever you don't need again and ship the rest down to Ghana when next you are ready to finally move back to the Motherland again. And if you don't want to go through the hassles of shipping you can just sell off everything there in America. By the way, if you presently have a car in Ghana remember to park your car in your compound / garage. Then remove all the 4 tyres inside your building and cover your car body with car cover or tarpauline. I believe you have friends that can help you warm the engine say twice a month. And that may not even be necessary anyway. It's your choice. Trust me you are almost there at the finish line of true freedom once you finish with your next set target that I prescribe above. It might even be an opportunity for you to buy additional land and start another building or you might even be able to start another business entirely like restaurant or automobile parts importation, transportation etc. The list and options are endless. Sieze the opportunity now. I'm praying for your success bro. Wishing you Good luck and God bless. Here's a reference for you.......check out another African American brother called "Zayloc23" on RU-vid. He is also building in Ghana but he goes back and forth between Ghana and America to go Hussle for more Dollars and he's doing fantastically well. He also established a tourism company whereby he brings African Americans down to Ghana whenever he's coming to Ghana. Pls just do a research on him and others like "Jay Cameron"...Maximum impact with Jay Cameron.

Your daughter that moved into a new apartment is grown maybe you can help her out to the point that you are able. Let her know my business is slow right now. If there are things in storage you no longer need sell it or give it away to make room for your new life in Africa. Get rid of as much baggage as you can praise the Lord and be happy.😊

Take the job in Tennessee , put together some savings . Move your 14 year old daughter to Ghana. Once she gets there she will love it ! Maybe have the older daughter visit and see how she likes it. The storage stuff if you haven't seen it for ten years are they really things you need to keep? Maybe reevaluate that expense . Have a big garage sale and add to your savings . I am praying for you brother because I can see you are living your best life in Ghana. Just give it some thought, go make some money and I pray everything will work itself out !

Many spoiled children have gone way too far with this, till their parents become their slaves untill they die. Boundries are important for RESPECT. I'm 67, I have seen way too much of this.
