Wow Magnificient write up with class and creativity.

pls OP, where is Chike now?

Sad, but true. Most middle class people are in this position. Keeping up wirh the Joneses and putting up false appearances is a way of life for most white-collar, "well-to-do" wannabes in this part of the world. When the vicissitudes of life happen, you go know say khaki no be leather.

May God help us postpone the evil day (if it'll come) until we're done with raising children and whatnot.

it'll make no difference

my swiss account is more than sufficient

any income be it salary or business fueled, is subject to whatever factors apply at any given point in time.

as such, NOBODY is exempt from what the op is describing.


armed robbers and yahoo yahoo/419ers also go broke, my point is money is not an endless supply even if you print it yourself.

even teachers and civil servants have unpaid salaries going on three to six months or more, companies go broke, business doesnt always move, so lets try to post with sense every now and then, this level of illiteracy and ignorance is starting to seem normal with nigerians, didnt use to be so.

9ce write-up.
2b forewarned is 2b forearmed...tnx 4 d reminder

.

#teamselfmadebillionaire#* even though you seem to be advising everyone here, both the people in paid employment or private business owners, your emphasis seems to be more on 'salary' and i dread that word. God pls help me...

i aint a fan of paid employment, Nothing like being the boss.
Thanks for sharing.

@OP...Thanks for sharing this. However, I suggest that you acknowledge the original writer/source so that you won't be accused of plagiarism. I am quite sure that the article had appeared earlier in one of the major dailies.

I've stopped worrying about tomorrow, tomorrow would take care of itself.

take care of TODAY and TOMORROW will take care of itself.

I just hope my hubby gets to read this ɑ̤̥̈̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ Ђ̥̊α̲̅√ع a rethink about me working or setting up a good biz for me. I feel for him atimes but he keeps claiming he is a big boy. I pray Iτ̲̅ wil be from grace to grace God please touch his heart.

@op; nice write up. The key is savings and investments but that's so difficult on an average salary.

Thumbs up @OP

This post summarizes the reason why ability to resist societal pressures could be your key factor in creating wealth.
Those pressures throw money down the drain.

Live far lower than your means; then save and invest. It is easier to do this when you can resist those pressures !!

madam you talking to someone here?

op didnt state his source.

I read the same article a few weeks back on the punch website.

Self employment is my dream thing anyday anytime..salary things not on my mind

I know of "Chike"who was in the same situation. He sent his wife and kids to Ireland, lived in a gated VGC, hired a Sierra Leonan chef. Recession and bank consolidation came, he lost everything including his wife and family.

Thank you, Mr Adesiji, for being observant. While not taking away from the import of the message being passed by the post, as I was reading it, I knew it was not OP's original write up. I am very sure that some part of the post, not having to do with the hypothetical case, was plagiarized. I'm very sure that I have read something similar to the bottom half of the post somewhere else. It is high time we, as Nigerians, started acknowledging authors of articles and pieces that we lifted.

Meanwhile, the intended message is still a very valid one.

Best piece for me for a fresh start in 2014

Exactly my 2014 mission....prepare for d exit

Nice write up....
