I Finally Made My First Million ( Picture) by Lajaishola(op): 5:16pm On Dec 19, 2025
I made a decision in january this year to make my firet million because i was practically broke and i want to put an end to suffering forever. I hustled and saved up like my life depends on it and also deprived myself of enjoyment and even buying cloth or new shoes. i starved so many times and never gave up on my goals. Thanks to cowrywise who taught me to be disciplined and never allow me touch my savings.

Like they say the first million is the hardest to get and once you achieve that the second and third will come faster. Glory to God, you can check my past topic when i was coming up to 700k....

God has been faithful and i pray for more glory in my life.

It's more profitable to invest rather than to save.

After watching several videos of financial Jennifer, Flo finance, rich dad radio, Graham Stephan and several others, I don't have a choice but to become an investor and make my money compound.

It is not easy at first but when the money starts compounding, your contribution becomes little.

You can start today with piggyvest, cowrywise and watch your money grow

I'm supposed to be asking you Mr Moneyyman.

Jokes apart, I'm an investor by passion and a civil servant (professional in human health if you understand).

Watch financial Jennifer on you tube.
Study piggyvest and cowrywise and see if you can start from there.

All it requires is commitment .

Avoid get rich quick schemes.

Unpopular opinion, the rates they give are abysmal for any hope of getting rich from it. Practically, If I ask you to lend me #1 million naira and next year December, I will pay you back with extra #120,000, will you accept it?
No, because it's too small.

Investments generally are either too slow or too risky. It only makes sense when you have a sizeable amount. Like ten million where you can make an extra #1m in a year doing nothing. At least, its enough to feed and pay average rent.

To get rich, you need solid cash flow. Income. Daily, monthly, quarterly returns that are substantial. And you can only get that through a high paying job or thriving business that moves volume.

Saving will only take you so far and one, just one spending will send you back to root one.

Invest in yourself, hone your technical or business skills and expand that. Then you start relying on saving or investments as your source of getting richer.

I agree with you 100%

Compounding is leveraged when your starting sum is huge but how do you get to that massive lump sum ?. it still has to be by your monthly savings which comes from your present business.

Most high yield savings account are around 15 to 23% per annum using piggyvest, cowrywise,Vdf bank or Fairmoney. You can use these instruments to generate sizeable passive income without lifting a finger instead of the the traditional brick and mortar banks.

I'm not an aggressive investor, I don't do equities because your capital is not guaranteed. However, mutual funds are also good with nice interest rates and guaranteed capital preservation.

Setting up an emergency funds is also very important so you don't run the risk of always attacking your investments to settle emergencies.

The essence of investing and saving is to develop that culture of setting something aside so that when the massive inflows start coming, you are already knowledgeable in it. I have colleagues who earn over 1M monthly but still borrow to offset a mere house rent and school fees for their wards repeatedly. They lack the investment culture and still look up to when they will earn 3M to be stable. Life style inflation is their bane.
