hapi sunday my broda

Parasitic:


Where are you serving, this budget seems meagre to me.

Hahahaha 1500 for relaxation to me is high, atleast one bottle of origin every weekend will do.

As I said earlier, am in a remote part of Cross River, the cost of living here is unbelivably low and the indigenes are also making it even lower.

Remember this is my first month, so am basically using this month to guage how much to allocate to items for subsequent months.

Cross River is a nice state to serve. It is one of the peaceful states in the country and her people are extremely friendly and warm. They will try as much as possible to make you feel at home and comfortable.

The state government pays #3000 and majority of the corp members posted here serve in schools.

That's lovely! I shared one of your articles yesterday and it made fp. You're really doing a wonderful job there. Keep it up!

''In all that you do, show forth EXCELLENCE''

*****************************
My school resumed yesterday and I have been trying to find a convenient time to be posting.

I will be making a post in the evening on:

****** Being A Corp Member******

''look a little closer, you will see the beauty in everyone''

****** Being A Corp Member******

It is the dream of most graduates to serve their fatherland. For some, it is a marker to others that they really went to school. To others, it is a necessary evil that must be performed.

I fell in-between these two. I was happy that I have graduated and that now I am 100% in control of my time and resource(s). On the other hand, people needed to know am now a graduate.

During the orientation camp, I found myself in a cultural-soup where every ethnic group in the country was represented. I was amazed with the level of sophistication and intellectual prowess exhibited here. I became friends with Bashir, who is from kano. Am always being inspired by this guy's mind.

I was stripped of my negative sterotypes. If this is the only benefit I gained for serving Our fatherland, then it is worth it and I think the scheme have achieved its objective.

Thanks everyone who views, likes , shares and comments on this thread.

You guys give me reason to keep up the work. You all are the bomb. *though not boko haram's* lol

Thanks for sharing with us,I like ur writing skill too

Welcome to theMSAJuwaya.

Parasitic:
Nice..

*thumps up*. How are you doing bro?

Good to be back here again, wow a lot have been said already. I want to say a big thank you to my brother Styca for a wonderful inspiration. We all are really learning a lot from u here. Am also a serving corper posted to a place where things are a bit costly, but what have not really thought of is how it is compulsory to save. Have always wanted to live my life comfortably, now I see I have to adjust my life.
Thanks to everyone that have contributed so far.

Welcome back Rockmyworld. Am deeply touched that you are learning, being inspired and spurned to make adjustments. Now, the journey is alot lighter for me because we are journeying together.
This is the aim of the thread, to inspire ourselves to do what needs to be done.

Taye4christ said ''I am learning stuffs there. It takes discipline, prudence and a sense of purpose to do what you have set your heart to achieve this service year. Really commendable.''

Am overwhelmed with gratitude and humbled with your comment brother.

Am so humbled with the feedbacks and comments am getting.
It have not been easy but with you all onboard, the ride is a whole lot fun.
Lets do it together, lets walk the talk.

Living well, spending less. theMSAjuwaya way.

******What My First 'Alawee' Taught Me About Myself And Money******

I was already broke before the alawee could be paid in the orientation camp.
What happened to the fifteen thousand seven hundred and fifty naira(#15750), I entered camp with?
Where did the additional two thousand five hundred naira (#2500), transport and bicycle alowee go to?
I was already desperate and in a tight corner for the first Ninteen thousand eight hundred naira (19800) of my service allowance.

Despite all the blogs I read and comments by serving and former corp members on how to save part of the alawee, I failed to have a hold on my money. Such that within four(4) days after I received it, I couldn't say what I did with it.

Following a long and deep soul search, here are the lessons I learnt:

Guys I want to know your experience with your first alawee.

Hmmmmmm the way the money disappeared in fact I don't know. Lol, well i could recall i had to pay for picture album i took which was about #2500. I bought some novels, some shirts right there in camp, and eat a nice meal those two last days. I remember i used part of the money to sustain myself till we finished clearance and going to our ppa. Then after all the wahala I used the remaining change as transport back home. And you know we have to buy somethings for our siblings. I had to managed it cox it was not even enough.
Hmmmmmm its now we are trying to save by doing some extra work. It's not easy bro but God is sustaining us all.

I didn't have to spend my allawee except for buying some souvenir, paying platoon and MCAN dues at the camp. I still had up to 14k left thereafter. Immediately after leaving camp, the money was deposited into my account and was to be later channeled into some capacity building programmes. Till now, I'm still able to save up an average of 15k monthly. (I created other means of sustenance in my new environment.)
