Be careful with the people around for the society can influence and thwart your intentions.
I went to visit a friend in the students lodge and there I came across some guys making mockery fonds of another who take a month before he could consume #40K on his feeding and smokes.
Meanwhile they are being busted that it takes them not more than a week to exhaust such amount of money.
While the mocked guy was consistent to say he knows what he is doing and why he is managing his finances, one of the guys amongst them making fond of the other guy said something like.... I remembered those days when I was on money, this #40K is not even enough per day expenses for me when friends comes around. There i understand this guy on his speech had been in an attractive financial opportunity before but failed to utilize it.
There is something I came to understand in our societies today which is that when people knows about your earning values and you are not living up to the standard, you will be criticized for enslaving yourself that even when you have the money to live an expensive life.
They expects you to live a #1Milion life salaries if your earning value is figured out up to that.
Without realizing how they were liable to missing opportunities to take advantage of their present against planning for their future, later on they would always have this words "Once upon a time In recalling their formal standard of living in a regrettable output.
Do you believe when you are disciplines with your finances, the society would always feel you are greedy to yourself? Or do you believe disciplines has as balancing relationship with greeds when chasing after your financial freedom?
Well, I go start with say no person or society fit tell you how to use your money, that na your personal decision. Your decision no must dey based on what others dey expect from you. And one thing I dey notice be say, when person dey live up to what society dey expect from them, that person fit no necessarily happy or fulfilled. Because some people get different priorities and goals. Some people dey focus on living luxurious life wey full of expenses and pleasures, while others dey focus on saving money and investing for their future. It all dey depend on wetin person dey value. So when we dey talk about discipline, you need to ask yourself wetin you truly value. If your goal na to save money and build wealth, no let society pressure or criticize you to spend all your money on things wey no get value to you. You get to focus on wetin go help you achieve your goals. And when you understand your priorities and values, then you fit ignore outside voices and dey make your own decisions.
Now we come to greed. Greed na one selfish desire to get more and more, without considering wetin dey good for yourself or others. And when greed become person focus, e no go allow you to see the big picture rather you go dey focus on getting more money or material possessions, but you no dey consider if those things go truly make you happy. And na so some people dey get themselves trapped in cycle of overspending and debt, because of the greed and need to keep up with the expectations of others. So wetin I dey try talk be say wen you dey focus on wetin really matter for life, you fit dey make better financial decisions and e go really help in different way. So make we keep greed aside because na bad attitude wey fit mk us do wetin we go later regret o.
