Trying to pay the bills everyone is responsible for.

Not investing in crypto and agriculture

1. I'll never spend first and save later.
2. I'll never treat all customers the same again... NEVER
3. I will never have only plan A when planning.

If you have money ,don't lavish ,e dey finish .

Modest lifestyle will preserve your finances,lavish spending will give you a status that will vanish in short term .

Paying for sex that’s I’m going to do the work instead of being the one getting paid

In a landmark 2005 Yale University experiment, scientists gave capuchin monkeys a budget of tokens that could be exchanged for different foods like Jell-O or grapes. When experimenters adjusted prices (a "price shock", the monkeys altered their spending habits to buy the cheaper item, showcasing a grasp of basic economics.

Remarkably, the monkeys also started adapting to complex societal behaviors around money, including trading tokens for favors and even exhibiting early signs of inequality protests when observing unfair token-to-treat distributions.

The Bird "Capitalism" Sharing Experiment
In a notable Max Planck Institute study, researchers taught African grey parrots that small metal rings could be used as currency to purchase walnut pieces.

While capuchin monkeys in the Yale currency experiments notoriously failed to show selfless financial generosity, instead using their tokens for trade, theft, and adult favors, African grey parrots completely surprised scientists by voluntarily sharing their currency with broke peers.

African grey parrots demonstrated "prosociality" with no immediate personal benefit. Passing a token to a peer yielded zero food for the giver, yet they did it anyway. This indicates an intrinsic motivation to help a peer in need, suggesting that birds can decouple the currency's value from immediate personal gratification to assist others.

Capuchins required a personal payoff to cooperate. In the prosocial token experiment, they only chose the shared option because they also received a treat (a 1,1 outcome). When given currency in an open market, they defaulted to human- like vices: hoarding, stealing, and strictly transactional exchanges (food, favors, or protection)

Applying the financial behaviors of African grey parrots and capuchin monkeys to global macroeconomics reveals profound insights into human market design. Our global financial systems are currently built entirely for capuchins, but our existential crises require us to design financial mechanisms for parrots. Global financial institutions like the World Bank often operate on capuchin-like transactional models. They demand structural adjustments, political favors, or high interest rates before releasing capital to developing nations.

Parrots understand that a broke neighbor with an open window to trade is a liability to the entire ecosystem. Humanity currently treats climate finance as a zero-sum, capuchin-style negotiation, where wealthy industrial nations view environmental funding for developing nations as a cost or a loss.

What about corruption?

Scientists specifically tested the African grey parrots to see if they would let themselves be exploited or if they would stop sharing if a neighbor became corrupt and greedy. When researchers flipped the roles, the birds consistently gave tokens back to the friend who had previously helped them.

If a parrot gave tokens away but the receiving neighbor refused to share back when the roles were reversed, the original giver noticed the unfairness. The cheated parrot would quickly stop passing tokens to that uncooperative neighbor.

Getting into a serious relationship while still struggling financially expecially when the girl herself isn't financially stable.


Pls to every financially struggling young man out there, shun relationship for now and build your finances.

And when you are ready to settle down, pls think beyond beautiful face and big backside, settle with someone with value, someone you wouldn't seem like a burden to you.
