LITTLE PIECE OF ADVICE:
By now, it should be clear to all of
us that this year will be a difficult one
and to survive it, you just have to start
planning from Day 1.
Be prepared to let go of some
things and spend only when absolutely
necessary. If you have saved money, try not to touch it quickly.
Avoid capital projects in the next
few months until you are certain of
replenishing your bank accounts.
Avoid social travels that bring no
added income.
If attending a burial, wedding,
naming ceremony, marriage anniversary
will eat into your savings, avoid them. You would be called names, accept the name
calling but understand that these
same
people will call you worse names if
you
have to borrow from them to feed
your
family.
Reduce your responsibilities. Your
first
duty is to your family. If you don't
provide for them, others will rarely
do so.
Talk to your friends who are
working not
to bother asking you for favours.
Many of
them wear Armani shoes and will
ask you
for extra money to maintain their
lavish
lifestyles.
Avoid those who ask you in
advance
what you are going to get for them
on
their birthdays or Valentine day.
They tell you things are hard but refuse
to agree that things are hard for you
too.
If your friends on social media
send you a private message complaining about hardship and asking you for help,
tell
them if you start helping everyone
on
social media who has asked you
for help,
you will end up begging for help
too.
Cut your pants according to your
size. If
you think that staying in Lekki will
take
more than half of your savings,
move to
Otta.
The downfall of a man is not the
end of
his life.
Help your friends to start cutting
costs
by cutting costs yourself. Don't
spend
thousands to celebrate your
birthday
because you will be putting
pressure on
them to celebrate theirs.
If they call and ask how your
birthday is
going to be, tell them "Ground no
level".
Tell them you hope things will
improve
next year.
Do not be pushed into unnecessary
spending for any
reason.
Even if you have the money to
spend,
spend on things that can uplift
your life
and the life of others.
People have spent millions on
their
wedding, only to live unhappily
thereafter.
People have spent millions on
their
birthdays, only to be forgotten a
few
months after.
Most importantly, understand that
happiness does not come from
vanity.
They hail you as Abuja Big Boy,
Lagos
Big Girl, London Big Girl, Yankee
Big Boy
or Europa! its just a state of mind.
There are hundreds of people out
there,
unknown in your circles who are
living a
quiet life of bliss.
Moreover, there is no Big Boy or
Girl in
the grave.
Economic indices have indicated
trying
times ahead.
CONCENTRATE YOUR ENERGY ON
THINGS THAT CAN IMPROVE YOUR
LIFE
AND THE LIFE OF PERSONS CLOSE
TO
YOU.
# Seriously reflect on the message
and hope it makes a difference in our
attitude to doing things in this
difficult time.

[color=#007700] It's a valuable piece of advice you've given.

Only issue is that the average Nigerian behaves like the immediate past Government.
They were starring recession through a gun barrel yet, they kept pummeling the reserve.

Let the ones with ears listen. [/color]

Timely advice. No aso ebi this year.
