Onel Aparicio, better known as El Pacho Viral on social media, has once again taken TikTok by storm with a humorous video addressing the question, “How is the money situation in the USA?” Adding his signature comedic touch, the result is a hilarious video that has quickly gone viral.
In the video, the Cuban comedian is seen collecting dollar bills from a tree while humorously commenting on his situation. “I come back from vacation and now I have to pick up bills because none of my neighbors bothered to help me. I just returned from Cancun and now I have to decide where to spend this—maybe the Dominican Republic or somewhere else,” begins El Pacho Viral (@elpacho_viral).
“My back hurts from bending down to pick up the bills. I feel like chopping down the whole tree. Now, where can I find a 2025 model car? Has the iPhone 16 come out yet? I have to spend this money and no one is helping me. And these aren’t single bills, they’re hundreds, which are harder to spend,” he adds.
The Cuban comedian’s followers have appreciated his creativity and sense of humor, reacting to the video with comments like, “That’s what all Cubans in Cuba think. Those days are over here in the United States, and we know it,” “The best on TikTok, I can’t stop laughing,” “Bro, you should’ve called me, I would have helped,” “Don’t chop down the tree; we’ll help you pick it up,” and “Many people think money is just lying around here.”
Understanding Perceptions of Wealth in the USA
In light of El Pacho Viral’s humorous video, many have questions about the realities of money and wealth in the USA. Here are some frequently asked questions to clarify common misconceptions.
Is it easy to make money in the USA?
While there are opportunities in the USA, making money often involves hard work, education, and sometimes, luck. It’s not as simple as picking money off trees.
Do Americans have an abundance of disposable income?
Not necessarily. The cost of living varies widely across the country, and many Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Disposable income levels can differ greatly based on various factors such as location, profession, and personal circumstances.
Are luxury items like new cars and the latest gadgets easily affordable?
These items can be expensive, and not everyone can afford them easily. Many people save for months or years to buy luxury items, and some may go into debt to acquire them.
