Ok you heard me right.
That is my question, now you are probably wondering what the heck I am saying.

But I dont know, I never know I will be in this situation, now mind you I am not poor

Now let's begin 3 weeks ago, so I went home for Christmas holidays, so beautiful I ate everything I could get my hands on and I had fun, anyway I start spending.

You know how the holidays are, you met families you spend and spend and buy some things that you probably feel you wont see when you travel back, anyway I was checking my account when I keep seeing debit debit DEBIT!!!!!!

it was really a sad time for me realising I have spent more than half my saving so I went to nairaland just to wash away my sorrows by seeing some comment that will make me laugh and suddenly I saw a comment about a person that claim when he traveled home for the holidays he locked his money on Piggyvest to prevent unnecessary spending.

That's when i had an epiphany, the solutions to all my problems, I will simply lock my money in the piggyvest safelock, just withdraw enough for me to travel back to my place of work and feeding for one month before my salary.

God what a perfect plan, I already had a piggyvest account so I quickly made the transactions, I slept like a baby that night knowing I won't have to spend unnecessary anymore.

So perfect, I saw so many things that I would have bought if I still have access to my money but I didn't, life is wonderful but I miscalculated.

I travelled back the first monday of the year, on the 3rd and that when shit hit the fan, TRANSPORT FARE was 2x can you imagine I was there standing in the park trying to negotiate and the driver wasn't getting any of it,

This is the same people that begs you on a normal day so their car will quickly be filled up but not that day, they all felt like Cinderella on the ball with every prince wanting their attention.

So I decided to bluff, I took my bag which was very heavy and said " you know what I am not paying that" little did I know that there was no cars left going to my destination and before I could finish my sentence, a perky young girl which I assumed was a student simply shouted she is going there.

Dammit I quickly ascertain my dominance and said to the driver I was only joking I paid for 2x of my normal fare, got to my state of employment and the journey continued again where I had to pay 3x to get to my home.

After everything I realized I had just 3k remaining to spend that month
I breath in and told myself I could do, luckily for me my place of work is trekable so I removed transport fare from my expenses.
I already had bunch of soaps, creams and toiletries so that was out, so all that is left is feeding.

Ok it was supposed to be easy, 10 days later I am already looking for ways to break my piggyvest safelock with any hope ( I am going to sue them )
I start browsing how long it's take before starvation kills lol ( I am been so dramatic ) but for anyone curious.
It's called the power of 3
3 mins without breathing you die
3 days without water you die
3 weeks without food you die
Anyway my gas finished yesterday but thank God for Garri ( this shit is saving me )
Anyway back to my question before I start writing all this nobody ask me of
" How do you spend 1k in 15 days"
I have like 2 bags of water so I wont be thirsty, is there any food that is so filling.

I mean I can eat once a day and leave the next day for fasting. I mean I have once fasted for 2 days and I felt fine, there are even people that fast for 2 weeks without eating anything.

So if you are reading this my long write up, what do you have say?

this was such a good read, funny too.

All I can say is goodluck to you till the end of the month the lord is ur strength

Thanks dear ( for enjoying my suffering )

He is and he never failed me

Nobody dies for not drinking water for three days. God bears me witness I have fasted for seven days (no food / water). On the last day of it, I became almost like a spirit. Went to allnight service walking and trekking a long distance for close to 2 hours alone without even realizing it. With so much strength and energy. God is merciful. Fears and worries disappeared. Security agents thought I was a ghost.

Adopt sleeping as a chore . It will make you think less on what to eat . The garri and water can sustain you, the month of January is almost gone . Next time don’t resume work early, feign been sick , come back with a doctor report and test you did. That way you save some money knowing how long January is .
