Let’s face it — most of us were never taught how to actually use money.
We were told to save it. Hide it. Keep it somewhere “safe.”
But nobody explained what money really is: an asset — and every asset should be working for you.
If your money isn’t moving, it’s losing.

The Old Mindset Is Holding Us Back
Growing up, we heard things like:
“Put your money in the bank.”
“Don’t spend it.”
“Keep it for emergencies.”
It sounded wise, even responsible.
But fast-forward to today, and you’ll realize: this mindset is costing us.
Why? Because money that just sits there — in your wallet, under your pillow, or in a traditional savings account — is not just idle.
It's actively losing value.
And in 2025, the idea of money as something that disappears once you spend it is outdated.
Your money should be generating more money.
₦1,000 or ₦1,000,000 — it doesn’t matter.
Every naira should be multiplying itself.

Let’s Talk About Cash for a Minute
Cash is liquid. It’s accessible. It gives you options.
But more importantly — it’s an asset.
And just like you wouldn’t buy land only to let it waste, you shouldn’t let your cash lie idle.
Here’s the truth:
If you leave your money untouched for days or weeks, and it’s doing nothing in return — it’s actually costing you.
Banks charge maintenance fees.
POS agents take a cut.
You lose money on every transfer.
Your “₦100,000 salary” is no longer ₦100,000 by month-end.
Banks offer maybe 3.6% per annum — if you don’t touch the funds.
But the moment you make a transaction, that interest is gone.
Now add transfer fees, stamp duties, SMS charges... you get the idea.
So ask yourself: if this money is an asset, why is it costing you more than it’s making you?

Inflation Is the Silent Thief
Inflation isn’t just an economic term.
It’s the quiet force draining the value of your money, every single day.
Nigeria’s inflation is well over 20%.
That means your money loses about 1.6% of its value every month — just sitting still.
₦100,000 in January is worth about ₦80,000 by December — without you touching it.
Meanwhile, the cost of rice, Maggi, fuel, and transport is climbing.
The rich? They avoid this trap by investing.
Their money never sits. It moves. It grows. It works round the clock.
So why should yours be different?

The Myth of Needing a Lot to Start
You don’t need half a million to start building wealth.
Saving ₦1,000 a day = ₦365,000 in a year.
At just 10% interest, that’s ₦36,500 extra.
That’s over ₦400,000 — from consistency and smart allocation.
Compare that to letting it sit in your bank:
No interest.
No growth.
In fact, they deduct from it.
It’s not about how much you have. It’s about how well you use what you have.

What Should You Do?
Here’s the big shift:
Start treating money like an employee.
It should clock in, work, and deliver something back to you.
Look for low-risk, interest-earning places to keep your funds.
Automate your savings — let it grow quietly.
Set goals, not just for spending, but for earning returns.
Educate yourself. Be curious. Ask: “Where can I put this money so it does more than just sit?”

To part with
Money isn’t just for spending. It’s for building.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re earning but not moving forward, this might be why:
Your money isn’t working. It’s sitting, shrinking, and slowly slipping away.
But you can change that — even starting today.
Whether it’s ₦1,000 or ₦10,000, put it to work.

Because here’s the truth: 📌 Money is an asset — and every asset should produce value.

Money is an Asset — Let It Work for You
Let’s be honest — many of us were not taught how to use money properly.
We grew up hearing things like “just save in the bank,” “don’t touch your money,” or “hide it somewhere safe.” But cash in the bank is an asset. Cash at hand is also an asset. Meaning what? It can generate income for you. Once something is an asset, it should be bringing you returns. That’s where profit comes in — when you subtract your expenses and what remains is growing. So the old mindset of thinking cash is something that burns or disappears the moment you have it… it’s outdated. We’re in 2025. Your money should be making money. Whether you have ₦1,000 or ₦1,000,000 — every naira should be generating more naira. Let me break this down.

Cash is an Asset — Use It Like One
Whatever cash you’re holding, whether in your bank account or in your wallet, is not meant to just sit there. Think about it: if your money is just there for one, two, or three days and you’re not using it — why not put it somewhere it can generate returns? Don’t keep money in your house. Don’t keep money in your wallet. And honestly… don’t just leave it in the bank.
Why? Because you get charged for holding money in the bank. You get debited for transactions. And the interest banks give 3.6% per annum — if you don’t even touch the money for the entire month. The moment you make a transaction, that interest is gone. Then they’ll add maintenance fees, transaction charges, random deductions. And if you’re earning ₦100,000 salary and keeping it in the bank, you’re not getting ₦100,000 back.
You’ll also pay ₦200 for POS, lose more on transfers, and gradually your money just... vanishes. Cash has been commercialized by POS agents, because it's valuable! To the bank, your money is their business. It’s how they make money. So why leave your asset where it’s not doing anything for you?

Inflation is Killing Your Money
The inflation rate is over 20%. Break that down monthly — it’s at least 1.6% per month. So if you have ₦100,000 in the bank in January, it’s worth ₦98,400 by February. By December, it’s worth ₦80,000. That’s the silent robbery happening every day. While your money sits still, the cost of rice, Maggi, fuel, and transport goes up. And you keep falling below the poverty line. That’s why the rich keep getting richer — they invest. Their money keeps moving and growing.

Investment Doesn’t Have to Be Big
You don’t need ₦500k to start investing. If you save ₦1,000 every day, that’s ₦365,000 in a year. At 10% interest, that’s ₦36,500 extra. That’s over ₦400,000 just for being consistent. But if that same money is in your bank account? The bank gives you nothing. In fact, they’ll subtract. So again — money is an asset. Treat it like one.

So What Did We Build? RentSpace.
I’m proud to be part of the team that built the RentSpace App — a platform that helps you save and grow your money in the most intentional way possible. Let me show you how it works.
1. SpaceWallet
This is the entry point. Instead of keeping your cash in a traditional bank, keep it in SpaceWallet. You earn daily interest (up to 10% per annum). You can withdraw anytime — just twice a month to build discipline. ₦100,000 saved will earn you around ₦850 every month. That’s income from just saving. And it compounds. You earn more the longer you leave it.
2. SpaceRent
Let’s stop treating rent like an emergency. You know you’ll pay rent. So why not plan for it? With SpaceRent, you can save weekly or monthly, and your money earns daily compound interest (up to 14%). If your rent is ₦300,000 a year, that’s ₦25,000 per month. Start saving it monthly. When the rent is due, you’ll be ready with your ₦300,000— no pressure, no borrowing. Plus, your money earns interest of about ₦40,000 the entire time.
3. SpaceDeposit
This is for long-term savings. You can lock in your funds for 1, 3, 6, or even 12 months. Let’s say you have ₦500,000 you don’t want to touch — just put it in SpaceDeposit. Let it grow without stress. You can also set up flexible periodic deposits — save ₦2k today, ₦5k next week — and it still earns. Whatever works for you, the platform supports it.

RentSpace Is Built for Real People
You also get: Leaderboards, Saving challenges, Monthly rewards, Space points and actual motivation to stay consistent.
You save. You earn interest. And most importantly, you don’t spend the money. That alone is a win.

Final Word
Money is an asset.
Don’t let it sit. Don’t let it lose value. And definitely don’t keep it somewhere that charges you for holding it. Let your money grow — day by day. Even if it’s just ₦1,000. Start.

My question is, what does Quickteller charge you if a customer For example, came along with his ATM to withdraw N1,000.

Please, what is the salary for this job? I just got a mail inviting me for personality test.

leadzeal:
To slow down the Number of PMs. I have uploaded a copy to my 4shared handle, it is about 66MB.(Large cos it is scanned)

The Book uploaded is mainly for maths and logical reasoning.

For verbal(English) I recommend Barron GRE 2008 or Kaplan.. Don't do the NEW GRE or GMAT. From previous test taker observation, Verbal is a cruise through if you know words well.

indiabix.com is a good site especially for interviews if you scale through the aptitude test phase.

I still iterate that, It is usually the best from each batch that scale through to the interview stage. I notice india recruitment uses a cutoff methodology though.

Anyway, I wish you all best.
