I want to say you’re a fool just for the sake of calling you a fool grin but it’s your money and you’re free to do whatever you chose to do with it.

But you were not wise to gamble your money in an investment that was shaky.
Why not buy a land or something. You can never go wrong with real estate

Plus lemme drop this here chop life problem no dey finish
He dear!
Everything is risk, believe me you can go wrong with buying land.
He never stated the investment he used the money for, perhaps it was for a good calls.
Anything can go south.

Let him just learn from his mistake and use it as experience.
Moderation is the key!

Even, I'd say his way is at least better than his peers, he should just learn to spend a little bit more on himself.

Selfish people do better most of the time sef grin grin but it just gets the better of them in the long run.

I am a guy that is very prudent with my finances. When I see guys buying things unnecessarily and chilling and living their lives especially when they spend anyhow on girls.I use to call them fools. I avoided having a girlfriend so I won't be spending thinking am smart. So as Usual thinking am smart I decided to make a couple of investment and boom I lost money in the investment. Now this got me thinking won't it have been better if I had enjoyed the money. Chop life and buy some nice clothings. I don't indulge in many stuffs due to wanting to save money. I am in my mid 20s and I earn 150k monthly but if you see me you will think I don't work. I am confused I don't know if I should continue doing akagum or start living the life. Funny enough my mum who usually advise us to save was even telling me one day that she hope I won't end up being a slave to money. This one that all the investment am putting money into just they enter voicemail. The most annoying thing is sometimes one useless thing will just come and chop the money person no one spend. what do you think?
bro are you in Lagos?

One thing I like about myself is, I know how to spend money especially on myself.

OP! You are a slave to money. Some others are a slave to their girl. Some are slaves to betting and you all are thesame. No difference!

I would say create a balance between enjoying life and saving. What is the use of making money in this world and not enjoying some of it? Of course planning for the future is wise but you should pamper yourself and give yourself a treat once in a while.

This is what I personally do. I usually set aside a reasonable sum of money, more like a percentage of my salary every month for saving and then I enjoy myself within the limits of what I've decided to spend, including charity, personal needs, outings etc.

Problems will never expire on earth. Already you are good at saving and making good financial decisions but a little enjoyment once in a while won't hurt.

Sorry about your loss. As the French will say, c'est la vie (that is life). Maybe that's God's way of telling you to loosen up and have a bit of fun. Blessings
mmmm you made a lot of sense sir

Re: Please Judge Am I The Fool Here? by leonard002(m):
I'm almost just like you bro. With a few exceptions.

Here's the deal. Divide your pay into 3. Set aside one portion for saving, one portion for basic necessities of life including flexing, then the third portion for investment.

Let there be a balance.

I started this strategy like a year ago and now have a sizeable amount in savings.

Do you gamble ?
Re: Please Judge Am I The Fool Here? by Dibblez: 10:05pm On Oct 31, 2020
This could be the best advice you'll recieve!

1.Invest first, then spend what's left. Don't do it the other way round. Make sure its legit investment, always have knowledge of what you're putting your money into. Avoid get rich quick schemes, they're all scams!

2. After investing you can then spend what's left however you wish. No be me and you work for the money, so I no go tell you how to spend am.

First things first.

Get an education about business and investing. Don't invest in a business you don't understand enough to explain to a 5year old. That's just like playing gamble with your money.

Read business and finance books.

Some suggestions.

The richest man in Babylon
Rich dad poor dad etc.


Secondly, being prudent is different from being frugal. Frugality is for the poor and people with little understanding about finance. It doesn't increase your finances, it just helps you keep it long enough till you lose it plus you won't enjoy your life by being frugal.

Being prudent is different. Here you actually plan your finances which includes leisure, emergency, saving, investment and philanthropy.


I hope I was able to help you.
Re: Please Judge Am I The Fool Here? by James4bright(m): 10:47pm On Oct 31, 2020
I won't be in a haste to give you an advice, but I'd ask rather what exactly did you invest on? This story looks made up.

You don't just invest stupidly, you rationalize before investing. I've never seen a creative investor who regrets investing to stupid spending.
Re: Please Judge Am I The Fool Here? by IamAngelica(f): 11:07pm On Oct 31, 2020
First of all, no you're not a fool and nobody has the right to tell you what to do with your money and you are wrong for referring to your friends as fools because they spend lavishly..it is their money, they can do what they want with it..okay back to you, you invested your money and it failed, that doesn't mean you're a failure or make you stupid, you didn't want all that saved money to sit there and do nothing,i'm into business so i know how these things go.. you win some and lose some and now you know what mistakes to correct and what to do and not do..from the looks of it, you're a workaholic and you don't make time to enjoy yourself and that is bad..you have just one life, if you don't enjoy it with the money you've worked so hard for, then what's the point? Every once in a while spoil yourself, take a vacation, go out with your friends, celebrate your small wins..it doesn't have to be fancy or extravagant just a little special something to show yourself you love and appreciate you.

Learn to give people around you
Most importantly pamper yourself a little when it's necessary
That helps
