I got dumped few days ago. I really loved her .... ever since then I've been having very emotional mood swings .. one moment I feel like I'm ok and the next few moments I'm very down . I often have this feeling of rejection .. I'm an introvert .. I have problem making friends and the only friend I really trust and like lives quite a distance away .. I'm not the type that enjoys going out .. I am almost always indoors

Do you want to share sth?

Benard5050: I'm 29 yrs old, I had a breakup with the girl I've been dating for 4 yrs this year April. Since then it has been so hard for me 2 be in a relationship cos I think my ex could still come back cos I still love her.
I had a brief relationship with a lady last 2 months but didn't last long cos I'm still yet over my ex.
There's this lady that joined my working place and also my next-door neighbor, she's kind and her character has been so gud for d six weeks she started working at my place of work.
I think I'm loving her but I will not want what happened with d lady I had a brief relationship with to happen again.
Guys do u think I should go ahead and ask her out?
I'm scared of d negative that might arise cos we are working in d same establishment even though I'm a senior colleague to her there.
Guys is this advisable? I'll be on d tread to answer any question u might want to ask. Thanks.
I have removed my hand off anything that has to do with relationship for this year.

TheFinance101: As the festive season approaches, one of the most experienced challenges with personal finances is excessive spending. To attain financial freedom, you need to find the balance between your earning, spending, savings, and investment routine. A journey towards financial freedom requires being consistent with managing your finances effectively. This article focuses on five basic steps you can take to carefully cut down on excessive spending.
Avoid Impulse Spending Impulse spending is a spending habit that can leave you poor. It is simply an unplanned purchase that is not in your budget. It can be as minute as re-subscribing your monthly data plan to buying a new gadget. When overspending happens frequently, your finances can suffer but when you consciously stick to your budget, you’ll most likely have more money to save and invest in the long run.
Stick to Your Budget The essence of having a budget is to spend on the most prioritized needs. When you spend outside of your budget, you are gradually robbing yourself of other necessities. Create a plan for your spending that you can actually stick to so you can take control of your money. To stick to your budget is to simply tell your money where to go at any given time.
Stop Using Your Credit Card A credit card allows you to buy things you did not prepare the liquid cash for at the moment. Having your credit card with you often can lead to overspending. Credit works well when balances are paid off each month, but it can be disastrous when poorly managed. The best practice for avoiding credit card fees and interest is to not spend money until you save enough to cover the purchase.
Automate Periodic Investments The best way to build your wealth and avoid excessive spending is with automation. It helps you manage your spending habits by ensuring you're contributing towards your goals first before spending. Learning how to automate savings may even help you achieve your financial goals faster.
Avoid Money Pits When you’re trying to become financially stable, you need to look out for money pits. These are the things that look like a good idea at the moment but eventually produce bigger expenses. Money pits can take away from your savings, or even worse, lead to debt. Focus on keeping your money in your own hands. Spend it how you want, save and invest it when you can, and try to lose as little as possible.
Final Thoughts Learning how to stop spending money is hard, but it is possible. It takes time and dedication to stop overspending and to reform your spending habits. Recognize what prompts you to spend too much and put safeguards to curb it before it hurts your financial well-being.
First Borns how una take dey survive for Naija sef ?
Supreme145: I commented on a thread yesterday that was about how much that can last someone through the week, I posted that I can manage 3k for a week and I was literary dragged and trolled through the thread. Some accused me of lying while some said I still live with my parents, others saw my post as a scheme to accrue favour from people.
I never wanted to open a thread about this, but as God would have it, he blessed me ( Not from that thread) through Nairaland best roofer and known philanthropist @ money121 and @despian that sent me something to help with my school project. I managed to squeeze out a little money and branch to the market to get some food stuffs. Below is a detail of how I spent 3k on food stuffs that would last me a week.
Rice 1 mudu(8 cups) : #600 Beans 1 mudu(8 cups) : #900 Potato : #500 1/2 bottle of palm oil : #400( I add just enough to colour the food) 1 packet of maggi : #250 Powder pepper :#100 Onions :#100 Airtime :#100 Total :#2950 The remaining #50 is for Chelsea match later in the evening.
While I didn't make this post to glorify poverty but it seems some people are oblivious to the situation of things in the country at the moment. Apparently the hardship levels is skewed, based on the values that people were quoting on that thread. While some food stuffs are at a premium at the moment, there are some of us that cut our suit according to our ankara.
Next is how I manage the foodstuff to last me a week in no particular order.
Day one: Rice and beans Day two: beans and potatoes Day three: only Rice Day four: porridge potatoes Day five : only beans Day six: Rice and beans Day seven: potatoes and oil Fortunately the stomach does not disclose its contents.
I iterate through the list during the week, I spend only #100 on airtime during the week. I don't call any body and spend #25 daily for 250 mb night sub which I use to apply for jobs. I wait for the following week when it gets exhausted. I use salt as makeshift paste and patronize Hausa black soap for bathing. I've my faze cap to conceal my overgrown hair, though my lord luggard esque moustache have a way of bringing my legs outside. I fetch well water, boil and sieve it, in that way home made Eva water is set, who knows I might own a pure water factory in future so I'm practicing now.
Added plus: My Girlfriend It's a popular opinion on nairaland and the country in general that most Nigerian girls are useless and are out to bring nothing but misfortune and misery to our lives. I beg to disagree because the ones around me (mom, siblings and gf) are anything but useless.
My current girlfriend is a frugal spender and taught me how to spend prudently. She taught me how to cook thereby cutting the amount I spend on food to a significant level. I can give her just #1500 and she would prepare two pots of stew and soup to last me a week. Like my Oga @chatinet would say there are still women that can go to the market with 3k and come back with two nylons.
While other nairalanders open thread open threads about their parasitic girlfriends, mine is actually helping me through a difficult phase in my life. Sadly despite my pitiful standard of living, I still have people that I'm better than and see me as a senior man. Its that bad.
I'm not comfortable with my condition so I'm looking for jobs so as to improve my standard of living. My fellow nairalanders help me to start eating with meat by offering my any job available. I'm a graduate of Statistics/Computer Science (bsc ed) and a web developer.
So the doubting Thomas's here's a breakdown of my 3k weekly spending.
Modified: Obviously some people are still doubting my credibility. I stay in north bank, Makurdi Benue State for those asking.
True talk there. But nowadays to cook dey fear me, imagine since 2 weeks no light my soup just spoil(I just chop the fish troway the soup).... Here in Lagos things are cost like mad!!!
