HardMirror:
why did he use that man's picture? People will begin to see old people still working and still poor as those that wasted their youth. It can happen to 90% of those who are prudent now. Most hard working people will die poor. Only few will escape by the whiskers because their children will take care of them. What people need to learn is how to actually make money and retire early. I know where he is coming from, he is one of those idiots that judge
people, he thinks his 50 kobo will save him from that old man's fate. He is feeling self righteous because he cannot afford gucci and most likely cannot keep a girlfriend. It is his type that wants to tell everyone how to spend their money. We know their type

You're taking it personally: The OP might not even know the old man in the picture; he's only using it to pass a message to any younger person who comes across this thread.Be wise and don't live irresponsibility in any of life's endeavours not just financial wise.

If you see me hustle here and there without Gucci shoes and dresses,, this is exactly what I want to avoid

If you like flex out the life in you when you are young..
If you like spend all you gather for women and clothes...
If you like don't invest now you are still strong and save for the future...

Don't forget this,,old age will surely come when you can't work... Don't soly put your trust and hope on your kids because they may fail most especially when you didn't give them good foundation to stand.

Na person wey stand dey carry another person.
The outcome of life is not how you plan or predict it to be.Most people you see as failures at their Old age, didn't plan for it, they hustle quite well and were doing well before the uncertainty of life hits them.So, wheather you wear Gucci or you hustle barefooted,it doesn't matter,it all depends on the benevolent spirit that help break your kannel.life is a mystery,nobody knows it better.

REALITY THAT YOU WILL DIE YOUNG?! undecided

Reality that your savings today might be almost equal to nothing tomorrow

Really that your investment today might yield no profit tomorrow or possibly the whole capital gone tomorrow

Op pray for Grace, hustling and investment can go down within an hour




investing in your kids is the best form of investment(Human capital) then physical capital investment will complement it( houses, land properties etc)

No be small thing.


Na balance last last. All work and no play, makes jack a dull boy. And also learn to weather the storm, so that you can appreciate the early morning sun with im unfiltered vitamin D.


That old chairman could have been doing well before, maybe prudent, and very intelligent, but sickness or series of bad luck threw him off track, so instead of crying for too long, he decided to be prideless and do what he can to survive instead of begging everywhere.


Some of my businesses, the people working there from the managers, don't even know who owns it. I use the humility tactics. I can be I don't care attitude here, because I don't care to look for patrons here, but in real life, due to my ever progressive structure, many here might be patronizing me unknowingly. If your blueprint is good and working, depending on what it is, people would not have no choice than to support you.


I don't care how much I have acquired to this point, I still appreciate and not get too big headed. Believe me, my accounts dey fear me sometimes, I no think say e go reach like this, this early. Some of my new projects go straight to the helpless or some unfortunate situation people. when some few people I know, that don't know how vast and huge things have gotten, want to put me on their small mind excitment level, I go reset. No resting on laurels for me. I have fun but am ready to fold my sleeves or change to dirty clothes to work.

I purposely try to stay humble, but if I catch you non jokingly disrespectful to workers(partners) wey you think say low pass you due to pay and/or qualification, you might be escorted out.

By this time last year or two years ago, I believe that many people in Ukraine with comfortable upward businesses were better off financially, but today they are fighting in the war front, dead, or hopeless. It can happen to anybody. Go and ask Jack Ma of Alibaba in china. Or the NFT dude that was just captured after running.

So the ones that were all righteous and poor nko.

Many people need exposure in this forum.

Go to villages you will see many people who never did anything bad to deserve being poor but they have their hopes high.

Many children who were reckless in their youth never ended poor. Especially those with solid foundation.

Hypocrisy is when you take an innocent hardworking old man pics and then accuse Him of leading a reckless youth life.

You might work and save up in your youth but end up poor. How about natural disasters, terminal illness and unforseen circumstances. What about those who were spiritually manipulated. Or those who were duped or defrauded. What about those who faced business downturn and ran into debt.

Be stuopid but know when not to be a nuisance.

Many became Rich by luck as Tony Elumelu claimed it was luck. Some did not need to work hard. Crypto billionaire are a clear example. The same things you do some did little and became Rich. Some people will live a reckless life and still end up being Rich on their dying bed. The drug barons, gun runners, politicians and so on.

Don't mock people who were hardworking at their old age and blame them for being reckless.

Some sold their wealth to save a family or brother.

Haven't you heard. Please just be reasonable.

For instance.
My father was extremely rich in the days of landline.

The change in demand from landphone to handset crippled his business. He could not switch easily. However, things changed later on.
So if he was poor you will call him reckless?

I am sure that people liking OP don't have a family yet. They are still living in their little responsibility lifestyles. Many people had alot of issues due to burden of family and children. Will you also blame them?

Really Please exclude crypto or anything trading... It requires a whole lot of mental stimulation, time, dedication, hard-work and so much more bro.. you'd get depressed and may attempt suicide if you're not even too careful.. it's not so easy as you think man

Na who wear show know where e dey pain am.

All these posts of kids who do not know that life isn't fair and we pray for grace.

If you like save from now till you're hundred, last last you may not be able to buy even a bicycle and person who is a reckless spender would be buying cars as gift.

This life no balance at all. It is what it is just pray that you don't miss your shine if its comes knocking.
