The Money Series

Hi there,

Let’s take a flight to wonderland. Have you ever imagined the car you will want to ride in the next 10 years? The nice house you want to have. I'm guessing you have the design and number of rooms figured out already. The feel-good and self spoiling vacation trips you would want to embark on. Lest I forget, your dream wedding. How elegant your gown will be or how classy your suit will look. I know you might have thought about these things and you can give specifications as to what you want if asked about these.

But wait a minute. How do you get them? How does your dream car become a real car? How does your dream wedding become a reality?

Now we are back from wonderland, touching down on reality airport. The answer to all these questions is MONEY!!! Yes money. You can't do without it and it can be very scarce in your space if you don't make a conscious effort towards getting it.

I want to draw your attention to the fact that money is incredibly important. So, you might ask me, "What then should I do?" Save? Invest? Buy a susu box? These are all good ideas that are very effective and individuals start doing them with full enthusiasm especially at the beginning of a new year and fail latest by March. I am sure you have been there before don't worry. It's a good start.

The first thing you need to do is to develop a good mind set about money. A good mindset about money would mean acknowledging that money is very hard to come by but you will do your best to manage and utilize it efficiently. Regardless of who are: student, NSS personnel, graduate, employee etc. You will always need money.

Hold it right there, I'm not saying you should be a miser but handle money with extreme care. Don't ever think money will fall out of the sky. If you are to build wealth or become financially independent it depends on you and only you. So, it's better you change your attitude towards money or be average when it comes to money.

After changing the mindset, we turn our attention to the habits...
