Mistakes done in youthful days, will hit back at older age. Some nature happened.. You can invest and one sickness or two unavoidable issues may collect everything left. Save and invest for the life that kicks back. Then pray to God to lead you in the right path. With the right partner, people and connections. 3 Likes |

Odebayo4010:That you are saving or investing doesn't mean you shouldn't look good.. if you will be wealthy u will surely be, with little or no effort. If it's God will for you, people will surely locate you, because the plan of God must surely come to pass. Take lesson from this, alot of people studied hard in school, some made first class, some put little or no much effort and the graduated with second class lower, and Third class, including pass, respectively. Realistically, some who made third class and pass are much more wealthier than some who made first class. So it's not by effort. Wheel barrow Pusher put much more physical effort than someone who stays and work in an office. But the guy in the office makes much more money than the wheel barrow Pushers. Lesson: Don't mount much pressure on yourself to make money, or invest when u don't have, leave your life on a normal basis. Everything will surely happen if there were meant to. I have ordered for 2 designers suit, I have invested the little I can in my mum petty business. I'm happy with ma self. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Yugoslavia247: Take it easy bro, the advice is not for everyone. This your talk is escapeesm mentality to be honest Not all who worked hard and invested ended up poor, leave natural disaster to chance but just do your bits first. Its like someone saying not all graduates got a job so he won't go to school... That's a wrong way to reason. Just play your part and pray to God to take care of unforeseen circumstances. 1 Like |

My brother, I beg to defer on this, no matter what one should be able to save, just sit back and think very deep, my brother even if it is 5k per month abeg save money, you can do this normal monthly joint contribution, even mai load do it those years we load sharp sand at Ikate Elegushi, we can always do something. It is very important to save and invest no matter how small. The job we have will never be with us forever. Allison012: 1 Like |

DavidEsq:I knew of a woman that lost her husband and kids(all her kids) to unforseen circumstances. Old mature lady(she's was a neighbor) We always felt pity for her that my sist and I had to go to her place to help her clean and fetch water once. She was catered for by ramdon people like that sha especially by our community chairman then. Even when she died, it was the community that buried her. At a point she was just walking around drinking...very sad sight. OP will see a woman like that and come here to conclude she was a call girl or used to club in her youth. Things happen to people...ask questions OP if you don't know the real situation of things. ![]() 7 Likes |

You are right that one should plan and a great advice but that old man there, his case may not be that he didn't plan. There are hundreds of reason aside careless living why a man's life can turn out like that. If the person is rich, then sickness comes, he spent and sold all to stay alive. Secondly, if the person is duped and couldn't recover. Thirdly, business collapse due to unforseen circumstances. Many other valid reasons could account for a man's failure not necessarily laziness, wastefulness or profligacy. Don't let us automatically condemn or judge such people when we see them.
