Did you know that being a parent is a full time job? I have decided not to have kids till I'm 30, by then I should be retired and have all the time in the world. If my wife wants to pursue her career to any level of her choice I won't care. As for me, gonna be a full blown full time dad: not gonna miss any of their games, or activity in or outside of school that they're involved in. Being a full time parent is a job on it's own, and that is what I will be doing full time for the next 22 years, then full time gran daddy after that lol so I'll have my hands full for a while after 30 haha. Sorry don't mean to derail the thread away from tbills lol You are right about being a parent is a full time job. I am also a parent, in fact, I stopped making babies when I was 31 years old. Despite the fact that I am in a paid employment, I still try to be with my family at least 8 full days in a month. I plan to retire when I will be 50 years old my two kids would have completed their university degrees at that time. I am also planning to take up a lecturing job before the end of the second quarter of this year in a university without being paid because I want to be a village Professor (lol). I don't see myself not doing anything until I am 70 years o. Life will be too boring for me if I don't return to the classroom to teach. It is well, Bros. 5 Likes |

Thisnut: i don't see t Bill as investment per say because the inflation rate is higher than the t Bill percentage. Nigeria inflation rate doubled in 3years but t Bill rates is no where close.
Bro, i know a man who was CBN regional manager, the man was a billionaire and lived below what an average millionaire would , alas when he died he had so much money that banks sponsored his funeral.
Immediately the man was buried, Chucks, his oldest son bought a new car and had an accident same month, within the space of two months he already bought a second car and was living extravagantly. I believed the money should be finished right now, judging from the way he was spending.
As for, the only thing i owe my kids is good education or good trades and international exposures, the rest they should do on their own and if they don't get serious I'd give everything away to charity. They have to earn the little I'd live for them.
If you like it and save all your life and die without enjoying yourself, only for you to look from the underworld to see all your life savings is being squandered away by a prodigal son.

This will be helpful for those who may not understand ideological systems of ruling. They are simplified here:�
*SOCIALISM:* You have two cows, and you give one to your neighbor.
*COMMUNISM:* You have two cows, the government takes both and gives you milk.
*FASCISM:* You have two cows, the government takes both and sells you milk.
*NAZISM:* You have two cows, the government takes them and kills you.
*CAPITALISM:* You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and there is economic growth. You sell them, you retire and you live on your profits.
*MODERN CAPITALISM:* You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and you buy those of your neighbors. Then your neighbors become your shepherds, you pay them in monkey currencies and they die poor.
*AMERICAN SOCIETY:* You have two cows, you sell one and you have to make the other one to produce milk like 4 cows. By stress of producing beyond her capacity, she dies. You hire a consultant to understand this death.
*FRENCH SOCIETY:* You have two cows, you go on strike because you want a third cow.
*GERMAN SOCIETY:* You have two cows, you modify them so that they live 100 years, eat once a month and take care of themselves.
*CHINESE SOCIETY:* You have two cows, you sell milk to your compatriots and you produce plastic milk to export to the rest of the world. You become rich.
*BLACK/ AFRICAN SOCIETY:* You have two cows, you eat them all in one month, and you dream that donors or the international community give you more cows. When that doesn't happen, you go to a church and hope for miracle cows. You fast 40 days and 40 nights without eating or drinking so that the cows will fall from Heaven. At last You die in extreme poverty

Always have a planned target and don't be in a haste to surpass your target. Rules of life. Always leave it for others, don't strive to be the greatest, be comfortable because it's hotter up there and real happiness is elusive up there. My target is 10m naira monthly. Anything more than that is the system that adds it and not me working or even thinking of how to top it up. It's called the inverse law of insatiable or law of contentment. Social Engineering.

How are those two issues...those are conditions they tell you about before you invest and by the way, anywhere you buy tbills, you face those two conditions....they just dont spell it out for you
The 30% is charged as some kind of fee by others or they buy you out at a yield lower than what you booked
