In this episode, i share my experience of moving to America as international student from Nigeria with little to no money. I left a lucrative career in banking and moved to America in 2011 for my Masters (graduate school) in America. However, I wasn't financially prepared for the journey and had no money saved up before coming the the US. With only 40% scholarship, my school fees was in the thousands of dollars and i had only come with a fraction of that. I struggled a lot and did all sorts of off jobs to survive, my mental health and academics suffered because of that. Despite all the struggles, i was able to persevere through the help and grace of God. I eventually got funding/fellowship after a while which helped me through my program. Even though it's been 14 years since this experience, I still beat myself up for coming to America financially unprepared. That experience shaped my life and i learnt great lessons of how to be financially wise and save up for your dreams.
