HOW MUCH DO YOU SAVE OR INVEST UNDER PDP JONATHAN PERIOD? IF YOU INVEST THEN, YOU WILL NOT BE COMPLAINING NOW, THE FACT IS THAT, HE WHO CAN NOT SAVE OR INVEST WITH LITTLE CAN NEVER SAVE OR INVEST WITH PLENTY. YOU NEED THE HEART AND NOT THE MONEY

You need to enter street and let people tell you what they pass through in life , you will be sorry for them
And if the rich tells you how they make their wealth, ��� you will even thank God that you are poor

Your savings has zero to do with you future status���

If you see me hustle here and there without Gucci shoes and dresses,, this is exactly what I want to avoid

If you like flex out the life in you when you are young..
If you like spend all you gather for women and clothes...
If you like don't invest now you are still strong and save for the future...

Don't forget this,,old age will surely come when you can't work... Don't soly put your trust and hope on your kids because they may fail most especially when you didn't give them good foundation to stand.

Na person wey stand dey carry another person.

Very foolish assertion. Ask me why?

This mentality of some parents expecting children's to bring something for them at their old age should be limited by some parents when they attained old age, though is good to reap from what you plant, but some parents see it as compulsory while some parents still render assistant to children's upon getting married , pls guys let's work hard and invest b4 we attained our old age pls to avoid being dependable much on children's.

My problem is not about hoping on your children as a retirement package, majority of these parents didn't lay a good foundation for their kids that will atleast guarantee them(kids) soft life in the future.

They keep recycling poverty all over again. It is in this country that you'll see somebody's father bragging about having a half dozen of children, telling you that atleast one of them will richer than Bill gates in the future.

A lot of people see their young age as freedom to live anyhow, but it's freedom to pick a path and walk it well. Why do you even need to impress people who don't care about you? Spend on nonsense such as women, clubbing, and vanity? Life is very unforgiving to the weak, and if you wait until you're old to learn this lesson, life will be nothing but hell
Well spoken!

Forget it, the man in the picture has almost certainly always been poor and a laborer most of his life.

This is more about the failure of our society.

This is the fate of multiple artisans and laborers

Maybe because of poor financial education

Or maybe because the system is actually fked

I always feel very sad when I see those old men and women doing such manual labour in the market or on the streets.

The worst part is, their kids that are supposed to help them have graduated and still no jobs. Now parents and kids are caught up in this web of poverty. Some have kids who claim they do not owe their parents shishi.

I looked at my own extended family and I noticed the uncles that were rich are still the ones doing well. The ones that were poor are still poor. Some have been fortunate to have kids that can at least give them monthly stipends. Asides that, it is the same cycle of Nigeria messing everyone up.

People with parents who have businesses and properties do not know how blessed they are. I honestly cannot imagine paying rent for my aged parents in 2022.

Thank you

still nonsense. You see that man in the picture? Do you know why he is poor at his old age?
Lol. The op talked about spending on the sweet things of life as if it is bad. If you can afford it go for it. It does not mean you will be poor. Many people are earning 20k a month, they see me feeding on their salary per day, just on food, and they start hating thinking i am stupid. You see people like the op they are the ones trying to advice everyone on how to spend their money because they think everyone is broke like them. Lol. If he cant buy gucci, he should let those who can buy it. Truth is he cant afford it. Period.

You are a very wicked and evil soul. So you snapped an old man struggling just to prove your dumb point.
Clearly you have no respect. You also don't understand dignity in labor.
You have taken away the dignity of that man.
Couldn't you just make your point without the picture of that innocent old man?

Your last sentence is so true
It takes those standing upright to help others stand well.

Young people should invest or go into a long term business now when we are young.

Point of correction; not every suffering old man/woman squandered their youthful age. Life they say is like a rollercoaster, it moves up and down.. You might plan all the plan in this world, but sometimes, "life happens".. We all pray that our down moment doesn't come when our bones are weak.

Saving is not an option, it's a must. The economy would get worser as the end draws near irrespective of who rules you. But save today so that your tomorrow would be a little soft before the end comes.

All those rich Igbo men you see used to be boys serving their Oga. Almost all of them are from very poor background, no inheritance, no support.
But most of them are doing well today without any inheritance from their parents.

Hold real estate!

Imagine you buy a plot of land today! 20 years from now, that plot o land will b enough to feed you till death!

Now imagine you have 100 acres of it!

Your old age is secured with lots for kids to inherit!

You can never miss it with real estate! I mean NEVER

If yes, you have no excuse, you will surely labour in your old age.
Poverty awaits you in the future.
