A Cuban woman living in Florida, known on TikTok as maryaragon805 (and also @leidyoficial), shared some advice a few days ago on the platform for those looking to get ahead in the United States, and her words have sparked a lot of discussion.
His main advice is "don't compare yourself to others" because, as he exemplified in his video, he has seen people with luxuries like brand-new cars and designer clothes, but who are actually in debt and not living well: "I have seen many people full of gold with the latest car, brand-name clothes, and they live 4 or 5 in the same rental space, they are full of debt, and for me, I think that is not living," he added.
In addition, he warned about the trap of getting into debt by buying expensive cars: "There is no need to get into a loan. You can go with your little car just like those people." He also suggested not wasting money on unnecessary things and focusing on what really matters: continuing to study and training to find better opportunities in the future. His message is clear: "Do not stop improving yourself, study, learn, and seek a job that allows you to create your own business in the future."
In the debate sparked in the comments, some users supported his words, such as those who commented: "Wise words"; "Thanks for your good advice," "Completely agree," or "Very true." However, there were also those who did not entirely agree: "There is a need for a letter car, because many times it is not possible to gather 5,000 or 6,000 dollars for a cash car," said one defending the option of financing a vehicle.
And you, do you think any of these tips would have helped make your journey easier, or would your tips go in a different direction?
