Savings!savings!savings! Good work op. Where in cross river are you serving? Some part of cross river are more expensive and you have more activities to spend on than you serving on the remote part where the community welcome you with farm produce unlike in the city. Am not justifying reckless spending but am saying that someone in BOki WEST or EAST will find it easy to save than someone in calabar municipal or Akamkpa. Becos the standard of living is not the same. Am serving in cross river as a batch A corp member. I wish you the best. |

Welcome Obinoral1179, your observations are valid. I agree with you there are some parts of CRS where the COST of living is higher than in other places. In my case, I took a conscious effort not to be posted to these places you mentioned. No, am not serving in Boki. During the orientation camp I asked around and I had a general view of what serving in each of the zones entails, and I made the choice to go to the place that serves my personal purpose best. Congratulations in advance for your passing-out-parade. You are favored. 1 Like |

'' To take no action means you are headed nowhere except where you are'' **** What My First 'Allawee' Taught Me About Myself And Money Pt2 **** ¤ I LACKED THE PRESENCE OF MIND: The lack of this particular trait caused me to be unconscious of what and where I spent the allawee. It was as if a faucet was unplugged and I couldn't control the spending itch until I was left with nothing. My eyes cleared when there was nothing left for me and I began asking myself; what did I do with the allawee? Where did it go? ¤ LACK OF DISCIPLINE: I was not disciplined enough to discern between things that I want and things I need. I spent on impulse. ¤ NO ACTION PLAN: I did not have an action plan to follow when the allawee was paid. This led me to drift with the impulse. It was more like I will work out the details as I go along. Alas! There was nothing to work with at the end. These are the lessons I learnt, the next posts will be about the practical steps I took and still taking to ensure a well rounded financial life. |

I THINK ALL YOU ARE DOING IS WORTH WHILE BUT MY ADVICE ARE 1. GET AN ALTERNATE SOURCE OF INCOME BECAUSE RELYING AND EXPECTING TO SAVE FROM 19800 MAY BE VERY HAD BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE 2. BE VERY CAUTIOUS WITH YOUR FEMALE COLLEAGUE....YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SPEND ON THEM...I REPEAT DONT SPEND TO IMPRESS THEM COS THEY WILL BE A MAJOR DRAIN AND BTW ITS SAME ALLAWEE 3. WHAT DO YOU USE FUEL FOR....DO YOU HAVE A BIKE OR GENERATING SET I WILL ADD MORE AS YOU CONTINUE... FOR ABDUL...WELLDONE |

styca:good one bro. Which local council are you serving? All the best is what I wish you bro. |
Re: The Money Savvy Ajuwaya: My Financial Chronicle. by styca(m): 11:07pm On Jan 20, 2015 |
naijareferee: Thank you naijareferee for the advice. I really do appreciate and I will keep in mind the advice about my female colleagues. The money for fuel, was an amount I initially set aside for the gen. Set. But fortunately, my landlord connected light to my room, and it is free. I have already started a part-time teaching in a near-by school here. |

styca: Well,mine was paid a few days before we left camp(Batch 13c).Due to delays in getting accepted and cleared I spent an extra 2weeks in the city ,it wasn't funny. My advice to prospective corp members,be extra vigilant when that money is paid,because most people will lose that money to those with sticky fingers. Nice thread,I'm here to improve and fine-tune my savings skills. |

***************************** Goodday and welcome to the month of march house. The past month, february was a difficult one for me. I was depressed due to events in my personal life. And this made me unable to articulate and write my ideas. ThankGod, am back to my best. Let me use this opportunity to thank everyone who shown concern. I really do appreciate your care. I love you all. |

" Time and chance happens to us all" ***************************** I had high hopes for february, I was pleased with the strides I made in January. I was so happy, then. Fate decides to play a roulette with me. First, my phone falled and the screen broke. An unexpected expense. I was sad. I decided to repair it from the feb allawee. Before I will come out of that, my girlfriend called and said she is coming to visit. I thought of every possible means of desuading her from coming. (you know women and their ways). She insisted. I withdrew #12000. The devil and his sadist cohorts decided to enter my sister, she requested for some money. I sent her #3000. By the time I know what was happening, I was already broke. That, is my february story. And I went down hill from there. It took a great deal of time and self forgiveness to get myself back. Note: it was not the money I spent that got me in a state, rather, what happened when my girl visited. |

"life teaches us to know ourselves" ***************************** How I survived february. Next update. |
Re: The Money Savvy Ajuwaya: My Financial Chronicle. by obinoral1179(m): 5:58pm On Mar 01, 2015 |
styca:bro good one. What ever happens let it be and focus on the next thing. That your girl that visit hope is not what am thinking? |
Re: The Money Savvy Ajuwaya: My Financial Chronicle. by styca(m): 5:32pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
" Life teaches us what we need to learn". ****** How I Survived February***** Getting through february was not funny. With the knowledge that am short on fund and that my financial goal has been extended by the financial decisions I took, I was hard pressed to look for alternate source to argument the #4000, that was left. I had started a part-time teaching in a nearby school earlier. That was my saving grace. With the additional #3000, I had to scratch and stretch the money till the month's end. Lesson: No matter how meager a resource is I can always arrange my spending in such a way that it will be enough. |
