THE GUY IS SAYING THE SAME THING. THE QUESTION IS, WHY DID YOU QUIT GAMBLING?! ONE IS ALSO GAMBLING WITH ONE'S FUTURE OF ONE CHOOSE NOT TO INVEST BUT CHOOSE ENJOYMENT GALORE WITHOUT ANY PLANS ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING PRIVILEGE TO BE BLESSED WITH LONG LIFE.
funny thing is save all you want and invest all you want, not everyone has the capacity to be rich. fact. reason why i dont advice people on finances, because most people are programmed to be poor no matter how you guide them. If you have the capacity for wealth, you will always be able to get it. people who end up broke later in life only enjoyed luck when they were young. making money is natural to those that know how, they will always find a way even when they are old. FACT. most broke old people you see today did not even enjoy when they were young.
i have a friend that was angry that a young boy bought a car with his first million. him that knows how to save is over 10 years older than that boy and has never had 1million with all his prudence.
I have gone broke many times before, but i always bounce back, there was a time i was so broke a girl was the one that gave me urgent 2k, but I always bounce back withing 3 to 6 months max.
if you see an old person that is still working at old age, they never had the capacity to be rich. i laugh at all these children that think they know anything about money.

if God provide for the birds and all living thing, why should I labour to be rich. I want only what God can give. What is not from Him, I want nothing of. Is tomorrow promised you? What if you gather for old age and don't see it. Let's return to our maker. He alone can take care of us.

You have a point, But we all believe we will reach an old Age,so that's why we have to use our youth for something reasonably, because when old Age come no one will looks you twice

You don’t know that man’s story. It wouldn’t be what you think.

You know nothing of life experiences.

That man might have trained his kids in right way, that man’s children might even be in overseas but abandoned their father.

That man had probably was a billionaire but natural causes happened to him that he can’t handle.

You know NOTHING about life.

I have seen things.. when I man falls, it’s not always what you think

You are right that one should plan and a great advice but that old man there, his case may not be that he didn't plan. There are hundreds of reason aside careless living why a man's life can turn out like that. If the person is rich, then sickness comes, he spent and sold all to stay alive. Secondly, if the person is duped and couldn't recover. Thirdly, business collapse due to unforseen circumstances. Many other valid reasons could account for a man's failure not necessarily laziness, wastefulness or profligacy. Don't let us automatically condemn or judge such people when we see them.

You're right but my post is not to disregard the old man Working but to drive our youths attention to old Age because some people act as if there's no tomorrow

The old man you see there might have wasted his youthful age training his children and giving them better life. They might have chosen to abandon him or worst still be useless to themselves and to their families. This is why I have sworn to invest for my old age before saving shishi for my unborn children. The little modafokas we have in this millennium don't give a fucck about anyone else but themselves, if you like kill yourself for them as their parents. Fucck these kids. angry

In fact don't have any kids.

I think a topic needs to be created on what types of investment should one have for old age as most people here agreed that one needs to invest for old age.
real estate it is. You can never go wrong with real estate. Do yourself a favor have an engineer and Architect as close friends, always hangout with them during refreshments and listen to stories of projects successful and near Miss they involved in and you will gradually get into the game. Even in the time of inflation those into real estates made so much billions that most banks are only existing because of them.

My number is on my signature, if you have any millions you are not using let's plan together and in ten years from from now you will be swimming in wealth. Even yahooboys are becoming wise and coming into real estate so forget that saying of what you down you real or carma. You can still live right and still die wretched, yes I have seen it happen.

[quote author=Yugoslavia247 post=119060849]

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?

What you posted really is a great message, but you forgot to acknowledge the fact that being rich is not by one's might.

Or maybe you think poor people today are/were lazy people..

Of course, if you used the pics to cite a positive example that would have been a different story.

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
