This is the post of the month.

Op you are so on point. This thread is just for me and I will take it so seriously.

I know you wouldn't believe this, its just the 3rd day of a new month and am broke already, WHY? Just after one week of collecting salary, amount close to 500k is close to ground zero than to 40k. I just did so many things on impulse. Meanwhile no wife or child that I would say maybe its school fees time. Its just crazy. Am scared for the month now. Expenses for fuel is constant o, yet the month has just started.
I think all of us need to find something beneficial to invest our money in, cos something will take the money even if you don't invest it.

Your comment was made at a time I couldn't quote you. I saw it in a flash but it's import was unmistakable; I had it burned in one of brain's storage system cheesy

Your present predicament isn't enviable. It's a tough one for you. But you didn't get by nothing- certain habits caused it. Now, you know where it all went. Endless holes took your hard earned money.

I've been in this situation many times. I just could wait for the Next month's salary to arrive and have it spent all the same way again. Mad rat race!!!

If you don't change your habits, it will only get worse.

Our arrogant,thrift less, and foolish spending will only bring pain and gloom. The momentary pleasure we derived from our arrogant and ostentatious spending will be outweighed by the frustration and hopelessness that follows.

@dearpreye, whats your take on sports betting

I've never even given it a thought. I don't have that luxury. Quick - money schemes are a very quick way to lose valuable amount of money.

I think sports betting is the in thing at the moment as I've seen teenagers strolling around betting houses.

I've never encouraged it. I suggest you should engage it(if you're doing so). Only wealth gotten by diligent and painstaking means will endure. Easy comes, easy goes.

A few people might be making it via sports betting. But I'm yet to see one of them close to me shaaa.

Whynotthetruth, ideykwum, INDESTRUCTABLEX, Truckpusher, barcanista, noblezone, sarahbabyxx and others, your words will be invaluable to this space.

Good morning to you all. And may this day and month be meaningful and prosperous for us all.

Amen. May the Lord do same to you as well.

My people perish because THEY LACK KNOWLEDGE(INFORMATION).

The cure for academic ignorance is academic knowledge. The cure for financial ignorance is financial knowledge.

Thanks for your words, and remain blessed.

On sports betting I will paraphrase a quote from RMIB that has stuck with me. It says:

The goodness of good fortune cannot be found at the betting tables but at the most noblest of tasks.

What this means is that unless one is involved in something meaningful, forget about being rich. Nature is so designed to work with diligent individuals who seize the opportunity.
"Opportunity is a haughty goddess that has no time for the unprepared".

I am in no way discrediting betting but personally, I will never bet.

The inability to say NO is the greatest weakness a lot of us have when it comes to managing our finances.

Yes. It's godly to give. But it's equally stupid to give carelessly or when it's obvious one should refrain from giving.

In most cases, the helped goes with the money. The giver ends up depressed. We need to strike a balance.

Money shouldn't be given away cheaply.

We should endeavour to not give others an impression of our financial ability and readiness to give at all time. They will abuse it. They won't stop coming cheesy

We weren't created to solve all of another's problems all of the times. We're not El shaddai. Only Him can do that. To put ourselves in His position is to court depression, gloom and poverty.
