Would anyone here be happy to have a straight white line and use extra 50sqm of materials while trying to achieve symmetry or alignment?

I was driven along the Highway in Abuja sometime back, around Mabushi. I was struck how aligned the white lines in brown shingle roofed houses in an estate were. House after house.

I don't get the point of these patterned roofs anyway but if it were my build, the lines gotta align. Imagine what anything else does to someone with even the mildest OCD? And over 20, 30 years? Yikes!

Just providing feedback.

Better soup...

You can do a little research to understand the difference, cant stress it sir.

I did my research 6 years ago. I can help you a little bit more if you have my time.

In 2015... You had 30 million naira

Scenario A... Pay a rent of 1.5 million yearly for 20 years

Scenario B... Build a personal house.

Which would you do?

naira is one of the worst currency to keep as a store of value.

Inflation will send you to the village.

What 1000 can buy 2 months ago has raptured. grin

You clearly don't understand what inflation means.

Are you saying if you are earning naira, you would be converting all your cash to fx to beat inflation?

Is this about paying rent vs buying/building a house?

You are shifting to another goal post entirely.

No, investing them. fx is not the only way to beat inflation. investment is broad.

I want to understand what you know about inflation and money (naira) being a store of value.

A) There is running cost
B) There is also savings and investments....

You have just been generalizing. That's was why I asked specific questions.

Inflation is the persistent/consistent rise in the prices of goods and services.

The bolded shows you don't know who is financially wise sir.

Since you have eluded the questions I asked you, it is clear you just made hasty generalizations.

Don't mind me, I wanted to pick your brain a little. Thanks for your time

That should be 1.5m high. Good planning.

I’m thinking of starting an estate in not too distant future - a prime sub-urban residential development comprising of detached homes and terrace apartments.

I learnt today that we should not keep our money in the bank.
