The topic is misleading. Let's stop glorifying poverty, this life is not cast in stone. The fact that I earn more than you does not imply that you will achieve more than me (the thought of this is ridiculous).
Infact the higher you earn the more you should achieve.
[b][/b]Stop comparing yourself with another person, but thrive to get better and earn more.

Women and comparison.

Well, if you were Muslim I would have been able to explain better using Islamic principles.

You're the one who missed the point comparing with what is at the op

A case of different levels!!!

My siblings & I are one big mansion built by our eldest brother, the breadwinner.

I couldn't stop pitying that young man. Thank God he's getting relieved now; none of the siblings depends on him for survival again & our mother can turn to others for stipends.

Some brothers & sisters are just God-sent. Always bear in mind that they owe you nothing, especially the lone survivors; who never had strong family support.

Hats off to you, Egbon.

Much respect to him too.

My boss then was driving a 1999 Honda CRV with just one house to her name while her colleagues were driving flashy cars with houses in choiced areas....
It was not until Mr. Abubaka left and I became her PA that I found out what the woman was passing through. 70% of her income goes to her uncountable dependants including her aged parents. I equally benefited from her benevolence till she passed on.
Rest on mummy with a golden heart.

She was an achiever.
At least, she build a house and have a car.
And most importantly she invested on people.

It's like you skipped school the day they were teaching hyperbole in English literature

Nice advice and points u gave her, things are not as easy as it was then, one thing is having a family the other are the responsibilities....this era a man's job or occupation along can't foot most of the house bills with the current trend of inflation, that's why it's very important at this time love is not enough to keep a home...financial goals and plans is a key factor, when both parties are hustling contributing meaningful to the growth of the home it promotes love infact it makes the home sweeter than just one party, she have to open up to her man her fears and expectations and find out how to help her husband financially, and she improves on herself more....the goal is to reduces cost and increase financial investments for the sake of the future and her children's own....family problem nor dey finish but any thing u can't achieve now for ur family at the expense of ur family, u will leave to regret it....

A 37 years old lady chatted me two weeks ago, let's call her Ada. Ada came to me and complained that her husband's best friend from childhood who works in the same office with her husband and earns the same amount of salary saved up money, bought his wife a car and they went to Maldives for her 40th birthday.

Ada said she suspected her husband was cheating on her and he must have been giving money to another woman; that is why he's always broke. She wanted me to post it on my wall so that people will "advise her" on action to take to catch her husband. Because I do not post Junks on my wall, I started asking her some questions.

We did a messenger call. After much questioning and running back-to-back analysis without prejudice, we discovered some things.

Read carefully.

Ada's husband's childhood friend's wife works with a travel agency while Ada sells beads, zips and other tailoring items.

Childhood friend has 2 children. Twin boys of 17 who just entered university. Ada has 5 kids aged 2, 5, 8, 11 and 13.

Childhood friend is the last child out of 3 children, but Ada's husband is the 2nd born but first son out of 6 children.

Childhood friend has no father and mother again, but Ada's husband has a mother but no father.

Mrs Childhood friend's parents are retired Judges, but Ada's parents are in the village.

Mrs Childhood friend has just a younger brother who is an Air force officer and married with 2 kids, Ada has 3 younger siblings who are still struggling.

So suppose Ada's husband earns 300k,
He would pay the school fees of 5 children of which two are toddlers, send money to his mother, sort out one or two bills for some siblings,

While Childhood friend would just pay for 2 children school fees, he has no younger siblings to cater for, his wife's parents are well taken care off, he has no parents to send money to.

Mrs Childhood friend with her knowledge with the travel agency she works with knows when to get good ticket prices, she knows when they get bonus, she knows those countries that offer Visa on Arival like Rwanda, Maldives, Uganda and the Rest. She has no younger siblings to care for so she can save up her salary or commission to grab some last minute flight deals.

But Ada is just zip and button seller; if she sells, she would send money to her siblings.

Both men work and earn the same, but their responsibilities are different... way way different.

By the time I highlighted these to her, she felt guilty. I made sure she saw these because she was the one answering the questions.

Sometimes, before you pressure yourself over someone's achievements, think of the responsibilities you have.

You might earn more than a person who has a flashy car and lives in a good apartment, but you have more responsibilities than that person.

Someone earning 40k might be living your dream life and traveling round the world, but you who is earning 150k would think your village people have tied your destiny.

People would wonder why you don't dress well.
They would mock you that you don't know how to save money or plan your life like them,
They will say upon all your money you can't afford iphone 13 or human hair or nice suits.

Check the bills you have to pay,
Check the things that gulp your money and praise yourself. It's not everyone that even have the luxury of saving.

Some of us as the money comes, if we don't spend it on ourself and eat chicken and fish, our phone will ring and one person is asking for 5k.

You'll be paid 50k and in 30 minutes you're seeing something that resembles 2k in your account.

Some of you are actually doing better than you know, but you're so busy looking at other peoples farms and counting their achievements that you can't see yours.

Comparison leads to unhappiness.

This is one of the best piece I have read on nairaland. You have said it all. As I am now i have learnt to appreciate God more and live by one of the legacy i learnt from my late father and that is CONTENTMENT.

I try to give my family the best, assist siblings, friends etc in the little way that I can then give my self little treat when I can. And its been all good especially when you help others.

Thanks OP for this, which others can learn from this.

Well said and analyzed.

Well, all these points you highlighted here might be true in an ideal situation.
However, there are first born sons who don't give a flying f*ck about their younger siblings no matter how much they earn or how their siblings are struggling. That's my take

That is why u should avoid marrying a liability

DontBullshitMe:
Why is Atiku not broke??

If you are TRULY wealthy, responsibilities are nothing.

I thought he was going to talk in that direction!

Most times it's corruption simple.

How many Atikus do you know? This post is obviously for “us” not the “Atikus” of the country.

Nice observation op
