I learnt that: 1. Start that project with the so-called little you have now. Plan effectively with at little & relish the incremental value/proverb. Don't wait until you hv every kobo you need. 2. There're people that may not help you unless they KNOW you're INDEED BROKE! 3. No one is BROKE permanently; it's a phase. 4. Remember that whenever you're broke, there people in WORSE conditions. 5. Be grateful. Even give thanks to God & see open doors. 6. Don't shut your bowels of mercies; give to others ... 17 Likes 3 Shares |

That was when I completed nysc and could not boast of 30k in the account. I was reduced lower than a church rat. Even church rat could afford to eat left over food in the church. After exhausting the little I raised during NYSC, searching for jobs, I was left with nothing. But God changed my story. Funny enough then I was broke, I had more good female friends who wished I had money than now. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Been Broke has taught me how to be calculative ( mainly on saving money for future issues, miscellaneous expenses and some other cost).. IT has also brought out the little wisdom on why I should be an economist , and who truly is my friend so as to avoid been sad. 8 Likes 1 Share |

tochez24: @bolded, that must be the lesson you learnt I guess. While you're right based on your experience. We can't get the better world we hope for if we all decide to "stay wicked". Forgiveness is important. You can change the circle. Meanwhile we don't help because we want to be helped in return. Hence the purpose is defeated 6 Likes |

Money is everything when you are broke. However, when you have enough or excess of it, you realize it is also just paper. No amount of money will ever be sufficient enough to bribe Death when your Earthly time is up. If Steve Jobs had the opportunity to exchange his entire life's fortune for a healthy and cancer-free life he wouldn't have hesitated to do so. 10 Likes |

It taught me that no one truly cares about you unless you have money. It also taught me that money isn't everything, when you get to a level of financial freedom you'll understand this concept 8 Likes 1 Share |

WhiteIverson: Last thing on your mind when you're broke is OVER DEPENDANCE on family especially when you already know they are not rich. It is a battle between you and yourself. You either float back up or sink. Everything you need to survive is around you, you seriously have to isolate yourself and think. But if you still dey live with your mama and you dey broke, at least food must dey... LOL. Na lie oh. Don't ever be comfortable because that is where you will die (not physically). 7 Likes 3 Shares |

That all the talk about helping people they won't forget it tomorrow is a big joke, that you're on your own in this world and most people who treated you nicely when you had money were just ants attracted to sugar, when I reached rock bottom I realized I was a fool cuz I helped so many people they learnt to utilize that weakness of never saying no to someone who needs my help to take advantage of me, and when I lost it all they acted like they didn't know me including my younger sister who I saw through secondary school, everyone stopped calling and I was left to deal with my problems on my own, so when I dusted myself up I deleted so many numbers on my phone book and killed that nice part of me that used to be a weakness. 33 Likes 6 Shares |

tochez24:Similar story here bro, I had issues and came back to Naija without faden, all my friends and relatives turned there back on me except for one and I don't joke with him now I'm doing fine... omo even family members everyone saying all manner of shit about me, a family friend even said I have mental issue which is a spiritual thing, they should take me to my hometown for cleansing, omo I see hell on earth, I went suicidal with strong depression, I always thankGod for my Mom and sister though, na only dem believe in me!, my junior brother even called me a FAILURE, that if its him he rather die in Europe than to come home, by God's grace I'm doing very well now and I'm paying everyone back what they ripped 100 percent, make no one manipulate or blackmail you into forgiving and helping anyone that was against you when you're low, they never cared for you!!! 23 Likes 3 Shares |

Being broke, will teach you basic wisdom, especially on how to utilize the little you have efficiently. Love and give to who deserve to be given and loved.. Don't waste the little resources, you have on an opportunist. When the money comes. That lady that cared for you, even with the little you have, spoil her to stupor when the money comes.. And these bitch, coming to you, because you have money. Treat them like hoe's. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Patriotic9ja: No the purpose isn't defeated When I had a job, I was in the habit of giving even to the last Kobo knowing fully well end of the month won't fail. If I had known, all those folks that used to run to me after Saturday football match and begging for one favor or the other, I would have made it clear to them that I am helping them so that they too could repair me. Some of them I used to help don't even act as if they know me anymore. The period when a person loses their job provides an opportunity to have a clear view of who the people around him really are. I learnt the hard way. I am still learning sha 2 Likes |

Keep good relationship. Everyone can't abandon you at same time when you are down especially if you are a good person yourself. Most of us don't save little when things are a little bit ok. we spend some of our savings just to show off at times. Let's us spend wisely Save to invest the little you can Don't allow your low moments to control your present situation it's the worst thing you could think of right now Make sure you don't give up the hustling spirit 5 Likes |
