on season 4, episode 2 90 Day Fiancé: The Second WayDanielle had a lot to say about Yohan’s business.
At first, raw meat, out in the open air without refrigeration for flies to land on, horrified her. This hurt Yohan’s feelings, but many viewers can relate.
Then, Daniels had a series of questions about his business. Things weren’t adding up. it seemed that he Garland money with your butcher shop.
But an eye-opening look at Daniel’s finances raises questions. and it may explain why Daniel is so adamant about living Distant from New York.
When Yohan Geronimo brought Danielle Gates over to see her shop, he expected her to be proud of him. This is their own business.
Unfortunately, all he saw were piles of meat sitting out in the open on top of a counter. And with very little intervention the flies were landing on the meat.
It appears that Yohan could not believe that this was a health concern. He told his wife that this is how people sell meat in the Dominican Republic. Daniel was taken aback, but it clarified a few things. Means why has she become ill after eating so much.
The conversation soon turned to the finances of it all. Daniel clearly had questions and concerns. Yohan shared that he keeps his books in a physical ledger, like a shopkeeper in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim,
Danielle is not relieved to learn that her husband manages her business like she can run a lemonade stand. That’s how he phrased it, anyway.
She used some budgeting software on her laptop to calculate Yohan’s earnings. and its cost. The latter turned out to be higher than the former.
Yohan immediately pointed out that he had another job. He also argued that most businesses do not Start Profitable, from day one.
He felt as if his wife was judging him and belittling him. Daniel senses this, and offers some emotional support.
But she explained that she wanted to get a sense of how viable it would be to live there, especially if they “reveal” a baby. Especially since New York has become very expensive.
Since the beginning of the season, Daniels has been discussing how expensive New York has been for her.
She yearns for the low cost of living that she experienced while vacationing in DR. Of course, she still wants to maintain the American standard of living. Even if it surprises Yohan.
That’s why he unilaterally changed his plans, insisting that they remain in the DR more than a year ago. launch To file for bringing him to America. if she ever will.
Now, starcosm reports that Daniels’ financial straits from the cost of living in New York were worse than she had let on.
In early 2022, Daniels filed for bankruptcy. Every month, it cost her more than $1,000 more than she was making to live. Yes, this includes the monthly rental cost of $3,475.
Daniel’s total financial liabilities were $224,584.
It’s a huge debt, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy (liquidation) allowed him to try and get a clean slate.
Remember, bankruptcy is not shameful in itself, and exists to allow people to escape debt.
The stigma that goes with bankruptcy, and flattened credit scores (remember, credit scores are inherently predatory and have only existed for over 30 years), sometimes keep people from exploring this as an option. .
Fans wonder if Danielle’s bankruptcy filing will affect her ability to bring Yohanna to the US on a spousal visa.
(Presumably, he’ll need to find a sponsor for him. We’ve all seen people who are completely destitute who get family members to provide the thousands of dollars needed to apply for a visa.)
Of course she has to tell her husband about this financial situation as well. And maybe, if they move to America, she can remember that there are more places to live than New York and Florida. Furthermore, meat refrigeration is nearly universal. Like, by law.
