Robert kiyosaki says when things get tough , don't cut down on your standard of living, instead think about how you can improve your income. If you spend 1million annually on expenses and ur income annually is 3million If your expenses jump to 2m per annum due to inflation, he says rather than cut down on your standard of living Think of ways to improve your income. move from 3m to 4m or more 42 Likes 3 Shares

Reduce utility bills like call cards. As in especially for guys, stop the nonsense of calling girls "just to say hi" or "just to hear your voice" and then you end up spending 400naira per day on call credit. That's even more than I spend in a week. Also avoid unnecessary use of data- clicking unnecessary threads and links, broadcasting GIFs , images etc on social media and clicking every video shared on group chat 19 Likes 1 Share |

you were making sense until you added building a house is a liability. I was expecting you to add gambling like bet9ja and virtual bet because those thing is about to ruin my life right now. if you are a young guy in Nigeria and you don't know how to play bet9ja and virtual bet please go and give testimony in church and thank God for your life because we that know how to play it, we are in big problem. anyway sometimes the best way to save money is to sometimes spend some money for no reason. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

ubaobi:ur house doesn't put money into your pocket, instead it takes money out of your pocket due to maintenance (painting, soak-away, etc) To an investor, having a home is kinda a liability. it becomes an asset when its given out on rent! 1 Like
