2m + in naira. Yeap shitcoin buh we made money from it and many more. I wish u best of luck in cryto. I once do cryto trading and I made good moeny before the market turns red.
Know when to buy and when to sell and don't rely on that to make money in 5 years time . Exploit legit business opportunities around you and thank me later.

I dont trade, i just hold
I once had 35k usd in verge but i didnt sell, now its arnd 1k usd. Now in bear market and i bought many more. Well like i said its all gamble and lets see how it turns. But you think i shld hold my money in bank while i look for other things to do?

Bayur01:
Future plan and investment is cryto right....lwkmd...he is buying cryto coins to blow in five years time. When they are local farm product he can buy and sell in 2-3months time with much low risk.

Soya beans @december to this period have increase by 40% profit, dry groundnut have increased by 50% profit, red oil loading e.t.c. this is heat period you no fit buy ice block @#80 and resel it @#150 In areas were there are no light abi.

Person wey they think of cryto as investment in this current time unlike before oo doesnt know anything about bizness And investment in real world.

You know all when it comes to investment?

Bayur01:
To me this is wrong, why borrow a car to go on a date?
Even yourself borrowing cloth to go on a date is wrong too. You suppose to wash and iron the one you have. Package yourself well with the little you have and you will be respected. Stop seeing yourself as cheap and living cheap like you claimed but add value to yourself with the little you have.
For you to borrow cloth means you wanna "impress", for you to even go with 2k equally means u wanna "impress" but you couldn't afford more than that not that you can't spend more than that.


People like you are the ones that will spend lot of money to buy new cloth and shoe beacause of a date[ . if you av money. Whereas, a sharp and broke nigga will just use sweet talk to control the babe come in house and have fun without spending upto 1k self.

I am cheap and i live cheap. I can say that now, cuz thats my reality. Maybe things wud change later on, i dont know and thats outside my control, but i derive joy in things other than things that re material. For instance i love listening to the sound of a running river, i love seeing d smile of a baby.

Bayur01:
Let me have the list of coins you bought? And from which exchanger platform you bought them...

I will tell you if you will make money through this in five years or not...
I sold hydro(333,333), organic and many more token worth 2 million plus then. Hydro which I received as free airdrop on 3 diff accounts.

If cryto is what u plan will lift you up in 5 years to come then I can boldly tell you to work on your mentality and exposure.

I don't have issue with your 2k date. We spend base on our class and taste e.t.c but your mentality towards life is poor. You in your former post tagged yourself cheap and claims you live cheap( that's a very bad qualification of yourselve because it will cloud your judgement and dampen your aspirations).

Then your stance saying 2k date is the cool date is wrong, it can be below 2k or above 2k depending on your pocket. Inshort no standard amount just spend within your class and no over do for any girl because she will still open leg for another guy.

2m usd?
I hold Skycoin and OST and i use binnance. Small bags of verge in bittrex.
You see, it took me about 7pages b4 i cud talk about crypto which i really didnt want to. I had to make mention of that cuz pple think i dont have a life. Same thing i think u re assuming. And you shld understand that for me to know about crypto, i am atleast exposed enuf to know about some other things. Cased closed.
And oh..hydro is a shitcoin

ImaIma1:
Their is a time for everything. A time to save and a time to spend.

If you invite someone out on a a date, it is doesn't seem like a time to save.

Some people are making it seem like eating on a date is an abomination... that it is gluttonous. Someone even said he would order doughnut and water even without asking. The orientation is different.

And i think there is a misconception about the word "date". It seems there is another meaning in Nigerian English these days.

Well i had to google it, cus i see u re interpreting everything in terms of food.

olaboy1:
OP don’t let anyone misstate your frugal lifestyle as stinginess, it’s the Nigerian mentality creeping in. I know someone popping champagne during his paid job, only for him to start begging for money 2 weeks after loosing that job.

It’s the Nigerian style to shame and punish you for your frugality in one of the poorest countries on earth. I can assure you that your mentality will take you to a higher ground and don’t let the nay sayers change your mindset towards money, remember what they say about money in economics “a scarce commodity”.

Here in Europe a date is just a cup of coffee, please don’t let those hungry mofos convince you otherwise. If you are a serial dater like me, you would run into some dates where you or the girl just don’t feel any sparks, so it’s better to keep the spendings very basic on a first date.

You get a +1 rep from me for your attitude towards money and future plans and investment.

Thanks for the props bro. Really appreciated. Fake pple here acting like we re on a 700usd minimum wage and shìt

GreenWhiteGreen:
Just admit you are broke and stop talking about saving money for some bushittt investment.

Ive admitted to this already, i aint denying it.

speed99:
Good day.
I understand you are a gentleman and have an acceptable level of self awareness and education. With this in mind, were you truly comfortable borrowing a shirt from your neighbor for a date? After the date, why were you disturbed, worried about your "reputation"
Would it not be self denial not to tell yourself a simple fact? Or, "creased" clothes? Perhaps what you made up for in frugality you had so lost in tact and wit? We aren't perfect, it's not about who is right but what is right .. enjoy your sojourn

Pple borrow cars to go on a date, so whats d big deal?

Acidosis:
So after making all the crypto billions, you will still settle for 2k dates? Some people had already achieved your 5 year targets, and they have chosen to raise their game. You cannot force a 2k date on everyone. With 2k, you won't even get a plate of food in some restaurants. Life is in classes, so is our pockets. Like I said in your previous thread, how much you spend on your date isn't so much of an issue for me, but seeing how you sat to calculate a 2k expense with no room for contingencies shows an innate issue. You need to fight it.

All is still a gamble, but if i ever achieve my target, become a millionaire, then i can do whatever the Bleep i want. I can choose to go on dates with empty pocket or i can choose to go on with whatever amount i want to. But for now i need to be sagacious in my spending hence the cap.

SouthSouth1914:
Saving 2k every year for 5 years gives you 10k. What are you going to do with that?

Stop all these saving shitt you are feeding yourself, when you have money your taste will always change! Whatever method you think you are applying is just poor mentality with no cause for it. Stay true to yourself and live your life.

There is no Manual to be rich!!

Well i invest 2/3 of my salary, Been buying crypto and stuff and i am happy whenever i check my bags everyday. Still bought more this morning sef. U see, these re the things i prefer to do with my money. Maybe all will go to zero but i am damn sure that if the prices go back to d all time high? I will be having 6figures of money in usd. That might take me 5yrs or sth but i am very patient. And maybe they will all go to zero idk but what i am sure of is that their prices will never be what they re now.
All in all, i am very greatful and happy with my lifestyle.

IronPants:
Ohhhhhh, food in exchange for sex? I see.

Thats all they can offer bro.

ImaIma1:
Sorry of that's how you see it. It still doesn't justify going on a date with 2k. So 5k will deprive you from having nice things? Keep consoling yourself with that

Going on a date with 2k doesnt need to be justified. This is Nigeria... wtf woman?

ImaIma1:
Note that he was the one who invited her on a date.

If a guy takes me on a date and says he is hungry and doesn't have money, i will buy him food. But off course i would wonder what kind of guy takes a girl out with an empty pocket.

Been reading your comments and then i sense a correlation btw ungratefulness and your views. This mentality of yours is the reason why Nigerians dont have nice things cuz they go after shining(on the surface) things of which the end there of its all destruction.

neyobills:
I don't need to have a budget for something as, petty as going for a date,I only have an expenses threshold,its just about the same as going out to drink with a beer buddy which 2k should also be enough in an average bar or hotel,i only add miscellaneous expenses on projects, family expenses and investments not dates.

You dont go to dates with a sweet tooth expecting some form of gratification,its a date, it's it what it is.

It's about the same as going for a meeting and expecting to be welcome with fried rice and chicken,a date is to discuss and get to know each other if the chemistry is right.

If I ask to take u out for lunch or dinner then that's a different ball game, a date is a date.

The point is curtsy. Large percentile of Nigerians(both guys and girls) lack that. They dont want to do anything for themselves, all they do is live off other pple(very disgusting). They only know how to take take take take even without saying thank you.
Why would sn invite you on a date, and you will see that as an opp to satisfy your irrational or rational cravings? If u re hungry then go get it for yourself but if you dont have the money, then ask nicely. Dont make it seem like the guy owes you sth.
Sometimes back i was hangin out with a friend, we were at this bar and this dude ordered for a wine of like 7k, immediately i told him i dont take wine. I prefer a beer instead. Atlast we spent 1.8k max.
Maybe 7k is no big deal to him but then i prefer we just chill, talk and just relax as oppossed to trying to impress eachother. And oops this is thesame dude i lent some money cuz he said he was broke

kunleweb:
I saw Gaspardd on this thread 2.30am, it's 7.30am he's still on it. What a pitiful soul. Wonder if it isn't validation this dude is seeking.

Thats cuz i manage my time. I slpt 9pm woke up 3am, by 7am i am in d bus.

Nicklaus619:
Not to disrespect some comment I have read here so far, the reason why it seems that the rich are getting richer is that they don't care if you are impressed or not, they only care about their personal satisfaction and comfort, but the poor spends the money they don't av to buy the thinks they don't need to impress the people they actually don't know.
I agree with oop 100% its only we the Africans that attached so much importance to Frivolity, a white chick can never allow u pay 100% of the bill especially if u on a date, as an economist before I spend a penny, I calculate if it is important or avoidable, not to brag but my colleagues in the office wonder how I can afford the kind of car I drive with the salary they all pay us, why couldn't I?
My colleagues eats in fancy restaurants, and , collects any thing they brings to the office on credit and thy ends up paying 3 times the actual prize, I cook my food and I don't buy anything on pressure, I go to the market and buy my stuff wen it is absolutely necessary, in conclusion being meticulous with spending ain't stinginess any girl that can't stay within my budget don't share my dreams, it's as simple as that.

All can bash the OP cus they percieve in their mind that he is poor. Had it been it was Dangote or Peter Obi that said this, thier reaction wud have been diff.
One time i watched a video clip in 2017 where Warren Buffet said crypto is a bad investment and that he sold all his tokens back to dollars when he invested 300usd in crypto and within 2hrs it dipped to 280usd. I really found it funny and laffed.
But if it had been a random school boy who told me that, i would have given him a punch on the face and make him know how pathetic he is. But i laffed at d video cus its the fùcking Warren Buffet.

funmisticqueen:
stories that touch the soul. What you have is poverty of the mind.

So if a millionaire sits facing north picking is hairy nose, then i shld act like him cus he's a millionaire and i am suppossed to act like one?

Preshy561:
Tueh.
Totally shameless.


Please, desist from quoting me.

Walksouttastupidthread.

Do have a nice life

Preshy561:
Have you returned the borrowed shirt to the owner?

Otherwise what would happen?

truthsayer009:
See as your brain small, A used mac book Pro for 15 inches still goes for 420 - 450k. Oga I still bought it for my Boss last week at Computer village. I have the receipts, abi you think say na UK used iPhone 5 you dey buy?

Na small pikin dey worry you, Lmao!!! Na that your 2k you wan use woo babe

Thats computer village bro. On ebay they re a lot cheaper even with d approx 10k for fast shipping.

truthsayer009:
Abeg no mind this mumu OP, he has serious Issues & I won't even allow my Sister to date such Ignoramus.

That being said, please owning a Mac Book is an Achievement oh. Just in case you don't know. It cost about 750k to get a brand new Mac Book Pro, 15 Inches. I'm not even joking. So na big achievement bikonu.

Well, for taking a flight. Aero Contractors Planes be like Molue Bus, so that one no be Achivement

Lol at ur last sentence, but about d macbook, i am goin for the UK used from ebay. So its still not an achievement

ImaIma1:
Having a MacBook and taking a flight are not actually achievements.

If you like, you can go with 350 naira next time

Cmon i'm not sayin they re, i am talkin about choices here.

CaptainMitch:
You keep writing threads embarrassing yourself and trying to generalize you can open a blog and monetize all these epistles and rants, most of you youngsters make females see other Nairalanders as small boys, if you don't have money, park one side and increase your hustle.

Ok i dont have money. But i wont think and act like a millionaire, i want to be a fùcking millionaire

SBL28:
I sincerely feel bad for your future wife.

Who wud you prefer? A guy who would be shrewd to save up to buy a benz or a guy who wud fill your belly in a toyota starlet?

CaptainMitch:
You are just broke, forget this crazy epistle.

You seem to use that in a derogatory manner. But this is Nigeria, where 18k is the minimum wage. Being broke is the norm and nothing to be ashamed of.

MariaLavina:
Not all pastors, even JESUS gave Us the chance to make a choice.

No one is asking you to spend beyond your pocket but don't think everybody is ready to spend within your pocket.

That's the point!

Then you have to understand that i am not my pocket, i mean my pocket doesnt define me. The point is common sense is involved

lefulefu:
if we convert this 2k naira to a dollar how much in dollars e go be?

Convert it to Indonesian Rupiah or Zimbabwe dollar. I can pull out some shìtty currency out of my ass too.

cooluzi:
oop I like your reasoning....

Thanks bro. We will see at the top. And not at the bar

ImaIma1:
Gaspardd you have what my people call "etok" mentality. "Etok" means small.

"Let me manage this my small car"..."stay in an ok apartment"..."let me just be moving small small".

There is nothing wrong in cutting back on cost. That means you shouldn't ask any lady out on a date to avoid deflating your ego.

Nope, i have non of those things. I just have common sense. I guess by the time my Macbook arrives, i will have to manage my small Macbook.

MariaLavina:
I don't have a problem with your pocket it's none of my business But with your reasoning now that's a big call for concern.

Honestly its good to cut your coat according to your cloth, it's good to know your worth, accept who you are and live accordingly. But the problem is at this, you have unknowingly created an illusion that your way of life (economical social and psychological) is the best. You are beginning to force your cloth on others and that is plain stupidity.

2k may be enough for a date to you, but to another it is just enough to set the date. Accept that!

Maybe you should stop going to to church. Or what do the Pastors do again?

virgoquin:
you call spending 2k on a date as something useless lol.

You don't even need a girlfriend now sef just stick to Vaseline and soap it will be better for you.

Meet me in 5yrs and lets see who you wud prefer to date.

virgoquin:
Mtcheeew abeg lock up nobody here cares if you spend 2 kobo or one million on a date.

If at this time you still see 2k in this present economic dispensation as a big amount then you better goan double your hustle

Doublin my hustle and at d same time spending recklessly? Thats like swimming upstream.
