It is just the end of the year, and not the end of life

[Royal Cap]

To be honest, my goal this year was to improve my work skills a little. That means I wanted to learn video editing professionally and I even built a new PC for that. I had great motivation in the beginning but in the middle work pressure, family commitments all combined to make me not a master anymore.

However I will start again when I have a little more free time, Probably in 2026. Hopefully I will be able to acquire that skill well next year.

What really made me create this thread is the way people are rushing to make quick money because the year is coming to an end, combined with how the country’s economic hardship has made even small money difficult to get, plus the financial pressure teenagers are facing as they try to keep up.

If you are looking for a quick way to make more money, then don’t be surprise that you going to end up losing more money. We should know there is no free money, anyone promising you investment without risk and high reward is likely going to scam you. Now that the year is about to end, we going to be seeing different Ponzi schemes coming up. We just have to be careful and smart, no one is going to double your money for you, so just avoid all those fake investment which you going to be seeing.

If you don’t stay always from all those Ponzi schemes, don’t be surprise that even the little amount which you having with you that you want to use in celebrating Xmas if you are not careful, you going to be losing it that’s why we have to be so careful right now, scammers are so desperate right now.

All these things are pushing many people into wrong shortcuts, but it’s still important to chase money with caution.. plan well, be wise with your hustle, remember that patience is important for long-term stability, and understand that what you couldn’t achieve in 2025, you can still achieve in 2026 without putting yourself under unnecessary pressure.

Life is not all about competition, almost all the youths are under the influence of peer pressure/group and alone as set in competition amongst them.
Making money within a short period of time is not a bad thing especially when one made it through a smart and calculative hard work without any diabolical means.
For example, since betting as been legalized in most countries, one can easily make it over night through his smart calculative predictions.
Let no one be pressured as the year comes to an end.

You have a beautiful point and of course making legit money within a short period of time is not bad at all
The topic was just created to help remind those who might've been carried too far by peer or family pressure (because I know these days a young ambitious man faces more self-induced and family pressure more than anything the peer can do) that 'December' is just a month and not the last lap for success

I want us to help remind each other that dedication, hard/smart work still pays, people still meet unexpected favor, determination still provides result and fast money through atrocity as a result of seasonal pressure doesn't always end well.

Is there any goal you set for 2025 that you didn’t achieve? And are you thinking it is no longer achievable since the year is almost over? Let’s talk about it.

There are plenty of things which i cannot achieve in this year one of them is i want my financial condition is more stable than last year but unfortunately this year almost reach to an end so, most likely some of my goals will be failed and i don't want too hard for myself with pushing all of those targets should be achieved in this year because i know there is 2026 in the front which i am confident next year will be much better but although i am a goal minded but i am not a person who ambitious or too hard especially for myself and i have realize that all of we were targetted sometimes missed but don't mean it would be the end of my life

[JaredIbrahim]

you're spitting straight facts. The struggle is mad real right now. The year-end rush, the economy squeezing everyone, and seeing people your age stressing to keep up? It’s a pressure cooker for bad decisions. That urge to chase a quick, risky bag is so strong

[POPOLUV]

We know that currently in some part of Nigeria life is leaving hell for them because of bendit is really terrorise the society that some of them has seen the end of the year as there end life, but as president Bola Ahmed Tinubu has promised to tackle the insecurity in country by recruiting more personnel, and that will be a great achievement because life is no duplicate, as such we need to celebrate the end of the year with all joy and not seeing it as end of life.

[348Judah]

Now that we are at the end of the year, we should be careful on how we merry at this period and ensure that we don't go beyond our capacity at this time, because overexcitement could lead to something bad and this may turned into something else that is not good enough to see, the end of the years is a season that we all should recall on how we have gone through the whole year and also find more reasons to celebrate and appreciates time and ourselves, but not to overdo things and get into unforeseen circumstances at the cause of this celebration period.

[GigaBit]

If someone tries to do a task quickly to achieve a goal, then the possibility of making mistakes in that task increases, and similarly, that person cannot complete the task successfully. There is no benefit in calculating years for earning money. If one does not work properly, the years will come and go, but there will be no personal development. If one does not think only of earning money, but works hard regularly with great attention, then success will come through that task.

Everyone tries to work towards a goal, but while some may be able to achieve that goal, many may fail. Those who continue to strive to achieve their goals will succeed, a little late.

Each new year means a new cycle, a new opportunity you have to adjust your habits and daily practices, so you can try maximizing your performance and achievements on the next year which is to come. It's a continuous process we face, so of course there isn't a reason why to despair about it, even more because there isn't an end for life. You can't escape life, because there is still something after this one, although we don't know what exactly.

Therefore, do the best you can with the time you have under your disposal. You don't have to be the best or to treat life like an eternal competition. Just be the best version of yourself on the current time and that must be enough. Celebrate the good moments and try to make them happen more often in your life. That way, you will be pursuing happiness in a way many people in the world nowadays have forgotten how to do.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

Knowing this at first, is the peace I enjoy, life is not competition, though one must look forward and cherish others way of success and progress but not mandatory you must be like them. The season is full of celebration but you can still stick to what you have , knowing what stop you from meeting all your expectations this year, usher you better chance of positioning your next year to be the best, instead of killing oneself to meet you when the year and time is no more trying to compare with others and running into debt as carryover next year , let this advice from this topic save such life from perishing.life continue after Christmas celebration, no award to be given to the best Christmas celebration only do what you can , Nemo dat quod non habet.

At times I wonder where we are actually heading too, because I don't really understand why people need Quick way to make money, is not like they actually have something that they are doing, that will give them Good and legit money, no way, especially in Nigeria, children that are suppose to go to school or learn handwork are their messing up with there future, for me no body can pressure me life is a step by step Journey, and I always have this at the back of my mind that, "one day it must surely pay" I always advise other people to do same, be hardworking, consistent, patience and focus, you will surely get there, just because the year is coming to an end doesn't mean your life is coming to an end,  because you didn't get it this year doesn't mean you've failed, keep pushing.

[Agathamay]

It's the end of the year and and not end of our lives. We have completely nothing to be frighten about other than putting in the work because surviving is winning. There's always a year we ought to do better but knowing what we know now, a comeback is expected. No complain, just believe. People procrastinate about making quick money, what path will they follow? I'm done settling for lesser outcome, this is the time to do things right and follow a legit stable means of income.

[Dunamisx]

Its the end of the year and this does not calls for the end of life, because beyond 2025 comes 2026 and beyond, so we have to have much expectation as well as plan well for ourself, also, while at the cause of the merry, we should be mindful of not going beyond the norms, we are celebrating, but shouldn't got ourself tangled with the savor in the activities at the cause of the celebration to the extent that we lose our lives and missed out entirely, everything should be done with caution and moderate care.

[MainIbem]

It's funny how people work so hard all through the year to hustle money just to spend it all in December. It makes no sense, people should prioritise more of investing for the future instead of hustling for the end of the year cause after the year ends, what next? Why i said this is because i saw people waste money yesterday shooting bangers and all happy about the new year, a particular dude bought lots of bangers worth about 500k or more in my local currency and when he was asked the said he's enjoying his savings for the year and it's nobody's business. Well, it's nobody's business anyways but that's a big financial mistake.

you're spitting straight facts. The struggle is mad real right now. The year-end rush, the economy squeezing everyone, and seeing people your age stressing to keep up? It’s a pressure cooker for bad decisions. That urge to chase a quick, risky bag is so strong

Competition is getting crazy and the attempt to make quick money is what majority of the youth are looking for ways to accomplish. This is a new year and should not be no competition without anyone because that has been known to create the willingness to do anything for the money. The government is waiting to tax you without ever bothering about your real source of income while the youths continue to struggle for the money. Family will come with there own problem, peer groups will trying to increase people's willingness to make quick money. The society is getting scary and people are killing and doing crazy things to make the dollars.

[Muba20]

It is unreasonable to rush to succeed in any task. Most people now have a mindset that they have to own money quickly or they have to succeed in something quickly. This kind of thinking is pushing people towards loss. Those who need quick income are moving towards gambling or engaging in other illegal activities instead of going to a good platform.

Everyone has a target that they will do some work within a specific time, but that work may not be completed within the specified time. Therefore, you should not think that you will not fail. If the work that was attempted to be done this year is not done this year, then it can be done next year. It is not that you will have to die for not doing it. Financial problems of people are a common problem, so if you want to save yourself from this problem, you have to be patient. Nothing is possible without patience.

All these things are pushing many people into wrong shortcuts, but it’s still important to chase money with caution.. plan well, be wise with your hustle, remember that patience is important for long-term stability, and understand that what you couldn’t achieve in 2025, you can still achieve in 2026 without putting yourself under unnecessary pressure.

Most people are in a hurry to make money, many do not want to follow the processes to genuine wealth anymore. They want shortcuts to hitting it big and most times they ruin themselves. They have failed to know that riches that comes off a shaky foundation is hardly maintained. Peer pressure has done great damage to people of  21st century, no one wants to pay the price through hard work, every one of them loves soft life and they make a fool out of themselves in the long-run.

Patience and consistency is key. As long as you know what you're doing and are consistent in it, you must make it. There is no hurry in life, if you remain consistent, you must achieve your desired results.

If they worked so hard to earn money, spending it all in December should be a concern for them, though everyone is entitled to their own happiness and has the liberty to spend the money they worked for however it pleases them.

A wise person always knows how to make good financial decisions, january is a hard month because many got too excited during the festive period, which sent them out of funds,  i understand the fun aspect, but too much of everything is bad and should be reduced.

[Oshio-man]

There is no year some people will not regret for some of the things they couldn't achieve before the end of the year, even december 2025  there are some  people who couldn't celebrate the Christmas the way they want because they use to share meats and bags of rice to neighbors and family members every december but this year economy makes them not to repeat the same thing, well you don't need to kill yourself because you didn't achieve your goal last year, anything you didn't achieve last year you can achieve them this year because this year economy will definitely be different from last year.

[Dunamisx]

Enjoyment shouldn't cause us trouble later after the pleasure, we should all be careful on how we spent time on having fun and not harm ourselves at the cause, life is very simple, we should also take thing with ease while doing them, especially when we are in the excitement mode, we have to apply caution on what to do and not.
