As a bachelor, when your male friends/acquaintance visits you and notice your apartment is well kempt, that you keep some things like bottled groundnut, watermelon, chocolate, apples and other little little things in your fridge, goes to your kitchen and notice you have basic kitchen utensils and appliances. Immediately they start hailing and praising you, calling you big boy and some envy you as well. Whereas most of them earns better than you do.

The truth is, it doesn't cost much to have an organised life and things that aid better living at home.. whether married or single, all you need is discipline and setting priorities . Most of those things we always envy in other peoples life aren't so costly if we can maximise our income and minimise our unnecessary lifestyles.

The cost of a bottle of groundnut is equivalent to that of one bottle of "star" you drink virtually every day after work. Apple is 60naira, you smoke more than 6sticks (#10 each) of cigarette in a day, you club ones or twice in a month, yet you think having a blender, toaster, microwave in your kitchen is expensive and you avoid it. A plate of food in a restaurant is about 500,what do you think it costs to have soup and stew at home?

Having a buoyant life isn't that expensive compared to how most of us think it is. It's just in the mind. Set your priorities right.
