astrodome:Let me give you a synopsis of what I've been facing as a working class lady in Nigeria. The cook in my organization cried to me for some cash. She said She was returning it at the end of the month. By end of the month, She abandoned her utensils and ran away. After collecting money from almost everybody. Mind you, I was still paying for my lunches, even when my money was with her. A friend asked me for some cash. Couldn't oblige her then but later did when I had cash. This same lady did not go out of her way to be there for me. I got a text from a church brother to give or loan him 50k. There was No repayment time frame. I ignored. Someone I served with sent me a text asking for money after seeing me at my office from afar. She didn't say Hello and had never called me since POP. Only for her to call and ask me if I was the one She saw then after confirming yes, She sent the text hours later. A friend asked me for house rent , promising to repay when her husband comes. I sent about half the sum and the person who erstwhile was disturbing me suddenly ignored me. She still talks to other mutual friends. My money is almost one year now, from the 3 weeks She promised. A friend called and asked me for some hundreds of thousands. I once borrowed her my pocket money in school and when I became broke and asked stylishly for my money, She brought out rice and asked me to cook. I didn't get my money till She was ready to give me. So this time, I told her I don't have. She didn't give up though and kept trying by reducing the sum. I No agree o. I still didn't learn my lesson until another one collected money last month under the guise of borrowing and her chat is now off. My calls are either ignored or She picks and sounds so dull I don't have the heart to ask for my money. She hasn't mentioned returning the money o. Even a male friend who went off to a school in America without telling me. School fees became an issue and he now remembered me. There is so much to say but the summation is I'm sick and tired of these leeches/unfriendly friends. It's obvious one is being taken for a ride. Most of these people have achieved much more than you. I have decided not to be taken for a ride anymore. 2 Likes |

Edusouls: you are very s!!ly for such reply. Do you say yes to everyone that demands money from you? or is it that you expect him to keep giving at his own expense? People like you are those who hate independence and spend their life feeding on peoples blood like a parasite. who knows you might one of the online beggars....Hediot 1 Like |

@histemple, I used WE because I'm also a nigerian. Though you are right by saying I may be offending some people but the truth can't be ignored! Albert Einstein said "Thanks to those who said NO! because of them, I learnt to do it myself" Many Nigerians don't challenge themselves, most of them are contented with poverty and the reason is because someone is always giving and not advicing them to be better. In the OP's case, life changes that ought to take him months to do financially will take years due to constant giving(extortion) |

TXRunner: "People" make six digits not the wannabe poster, seems you so far away from what modern day Reality is in the USA with a huge debt profile, ailing economy and massive competition for available high paying positions. As per your analysis acquaint yourself with Forbes, Wall Street Journals, InfoTech brochures and USjobs. IT, Wall Street dudes( Financial Sector; Banking, Investment, Morgages & Loans, Stock Exchange etc) lol at you those jobs stop paying like they used to over seven years ago. If you take courses in IT thinking some blue chip software end-user coys will employ you, you are on a long thing as what these coys are on the look out for far exceeds what is bin tot at those vocational or educational centers. Its not all that gloomy for the health care sector a for you to be way above or reach that mark you must be in the cadre of consultancy medicare; surgeons, psychiatrist, internist etc. The USA is not Abu-Dhabi, Kuwait, Saudi or Naija where even a fresh grad physicist at MPN earns over $10-15k/month(these are well known oil nations) the united states is diversifying, so that sector is not as lucrative. OP doesnt need to show me his pay stub, his charisma and manner of "communication" shows he is just a wailing, disgruntled, Nigerian who wants to create an imaginary impression of a "big man" when he doesnt have shishi. 3 Likes |

ronald4lif: Be the one to control the conversation, indexes you have satisfied your curiosity. No need to prolong it- tell them your have to go. ‘BRB' is the best thing that has ever happened to IM. You can also use the ‘busy excuse'. That also happens to me a lot. I mainly copy and paste web addresses, tell them that is all what they need and if they can't meet up there is nothing I can do and I end the conversation right at that moment until NEXT TIME |

astrodome:Bro. Best thing to do is to first be financially independent by having financial intelligence which you will now use to deal with ur issues. You need to invest more than u r currently doing. And for u to be living in a house with a mortgage of 25% of ur income, you r already lacking in the department of financial intelligence. You are not making sound financial decisions and you don't even have plans, that's why you complain. First, to begin with you need to be acquiring assets that put money in ur pocket and not big house for nothing but 25% of ur sweat. Then you need to do budgeting. Let all your giving including church offering, tithes and giving to less privilege be 10% of all ur income. Add me so we can talk better. Get a lot to do. 52EB3FAF or 23480376870. Bye. |

olushowunm: 25% of income for mortgage is about standard practice. The 'big house' (according to you)is already an investment that can be resold at a higher price in future. BTW, whether mortgage or not you would still live somewhere and pay rent. Duh!! |

Kazrem: No vex my brother. Ignoring calls and not reading/checking PMs came to become a habit (a not-so-good one, I must admit) when I used it to curtail my spending. Now, I hardly even check Facebook PM. Not because of money again, but it has become a habit. |

Goldenboy007: You apparently are clueless. A 6 figure pay (100K and above) per annum is not a big deal. As an academic researcher until lately, I was already at the top rung of the 5 figure pay before my move to the industry. Why do you think I would leave the typically more secure academic job (just after tenure,) to the usually less secure industry job? Answer, irresistibly higher pay. 1 Like |
