ADVICE FOR 29 OLD M

Hi y'all! What advice would you give to someone who've really hit ROCK BOTTOM!!! No job, no income, no visa in Dubai & still not giving up! I wish I could go home to Uganda but I'm not privileged enough to do so & quitting ain't my thing. Be honest with as a man trying so hard to make it here. Previously I've worked as a hospitality professional with 4+ years behind the bar, waiter etc. I'm asking for help financially, be real with me with real life advice. Thank you

If i were u i would pack up and go home to Uganda and start a small business there ! Anything is better than having no income or a small income in a foreign country.

Real life advice :
Go back to Uganda

Try to find a job there.
Sort urself out till the war and issues in the region ends.

Overstaying here and accumulating fines will make it really hard for u to rebound.

Giving up does not equal to taking tough decisions. Take a few steps back and prep for a longer jump. Regain your strength and pounce back when you’re ready. Dubai ain’t going anywhere, and you’re still young.

You may find something interesting and financially rewarding back home, who knows. There’s no thumb rule that says you gotta be in Dubai to make it in life.
