In this podcast episode, Chris humorously breaks down the struggle of living in Kenya, where everyday economic challenges are felt by many residents. He compares navigating the economic landscape to a Netflix drama, full of unexpected plot twists. Topics include the pervasive hustle culture, in which Kenyans juggle a multitude of gigs, and the complicated tax system that requires citizens to account for every coin earned. The fluctuating exchange rate of the US Dollar to Kenyan Shilling makes online shopping and importing goods a significant financial undertaking. Moreover, Chris highlights the issue of the country's loan-taking habit from international bodies, the high cost of living, the intrusive tracking by mobile money services like M-Pesa, and the unfavorable job market. Despite the ups and downs of the Kenyan economy, Chris commends Kenyans for their resilience and never-ending hustling spirit.
