Men should apply wisdom while raising their children, your life also matters a lot, take good care of yourself and make provisions for old age, don't use all your money to train your children and abandon yourself.

Whether they will live with you at old age or not, you should be able to hire house help to look after you, having money at old age is very important

Dear Men,One mistake you should never make as a man is raising kids with all your life savings to eventually get so much exposure that they won't want to stoop low to living around you.

Upgrade yourself as u upgrade your kids

Plan your future so you won't have your kids too far from you..

Having all your kids abroad looks like an achievement until your old age sets in

That's when you will know that sending you money is not as important as having them around you..

That's when you will know that life's fulfilment is beyond money but quality of time spent with your grown up children and grand children..

I've had an Uncle who raised all his families abroad , died at 78 and none of his kids came home to burry him and give him the last respect/honour

This is not a matter of marrying many wives ..

It's about being intentional with your old age plan..

And if marrying many is your strategic plan, ensure you execute it with wisdom.

Men seems to cater so much for family that we forget ourselves..

My Brother, don't forget yourself in the mathematical equation of life..

You matter a lot

Always put yourself into consideration..

This old age we are talking about is nearer than we thing..

Just look at your primary school days...

Still fresh in your head right? Just like yesterday

That's exactly how it will look when that old age sets in like a thief in the night..

Don't be caught unaware

May we not live it in regret

Life is moving really fast..

May God grant us the opportunity to live long in sound health and more wealth..

This is an aspect of redpill; realizing the hard facts of life. And not just about the other gender.

Why is this not yet on front page ??
Re: . by Beauty4brain(f):
The very important advice is, Love your children and your wife very well.
Let them know you do.
Stop cheating on her and stop creating bad memories in their mind.
In old age, your wife will be there beside you, taking care of you and your children will be there for you both.

Stop planning a bachelor single life in old age. No amount of money or house help can fill in that Gap.
Be a good father and a loving husband.
No child, wife will abandon his loving father in old age.

I don’t think it’s really about the money because many poor fathers are loved and honoured by their children and communities. I think it’s about the content of your character. I guess making money is easier than being a decent person, partner and parent.

Remember you came to this world alone, naked; and you’ll leave alone, naked. Live your life in such a way that, anyone that has had contact with you will bless God for ever meeting you. Live a life that transcends your wife and children. And most importantly, live for Jesus, He’s all you will ever need at that last moment when all is said and done!
