Cuban TikToker Defends Spending Choices Amidst Criticism

Wednesday, August 14, 2024 by Robert Castillo

TikToker @el_cubanon_2 has sparked a lively debate online with his response to a critical comment on one of his videos. The comment accused him of not wanting to be a "slave" but still living off his truck driving income, and claimed that unlike others who spend their money in the United States, he spends his in Cuba.

In his response video, @el_cubanon_2 clarified that he does not spend his money in Cuba. Instead, he prefers to save and invest it in his own projects in the United States. He emphasized that his visits to the island are solely to see his family, not to squander money. "I go to Cuba every year, every four or five months to see my kids, my family, my son, the one I have left," he assured.

He also highlighted his preference for saving money and avoiding debt from luxury expenses he cannot afford. "Never in my life have I been able to save up $200,000 here. The most I saved was a little over $100,000 the year before last, and it all goes and goes," he remarked.

Addressing the term "slave," he pointed out that his job as a trucker and company owner allows him to live freely and without significant debt. "A trucker earns no less than three or four thousand dollars. Now that things are bad, it's impossible to be doing badly in a week," he noted.

The reactions from users mostly celebrated his words, appreciated his calm tone, and supported his perspective. Comments included, "You spend your money how you want, it's nobody's business. Live your life as you please," "You're doing great, that project is very well-loved, few achieve it," "Wise words, blessings," "You're doing well, keep going," "Live your life, it's only one, let people say what they want," "You're absolutely right, you're a smart guy," "Brother, don't explain yourself to anyone, you're a good person," "Wise words, bro," "Life is only one, enjoy your money," and "Keep moving forward, don't waste your time on those low comments, you're doing great, blessings to you and your loved ones."
