A man's end month:

Mimi huwa nasema if a woman has your child take very good care of her, whether you are good terms with her or not. Make her life easier if you can. No need milaya taon wakule pesa zako yet the woman who made you a father anahangaika.
No matter where you are in your financial journey, keep at it.
It's a rollercoaster of dividends and interests at each milestone.
My first Sh 100K invested in the stock market was the hardest.
Hitting Sh 250K came significantly faster.
Then Sh 500K, then Sh 1M in a portfolio comprising stocks, SACCO deposits, MMF, and bonds.
Can’t wait to smash that Sh 10M mark someday.
"Your dirty dishes are evidence you have eaten. Your noisy house is proof you have friends and family. Your tired body is a sign you have work.
Many of the things we complain about in life are actually signs that God has blessed us.
Billions of people on Earth will gladly trade their lives for ours. Some will gladly lick your dirty plates to get some nutrients.
Others will jump at the chance to live in a house no matter how noisy.
Even more are praying to get that job you so despise. You are too blessed to be stressed. Take time to give thanks to God"

The goal is to make your investments pay similar to, or better than; your employer.
Once you cross this point, you no longer work for money but money works for you.
Time, place, and financial freedom become a reality.
Society programs you to be poor.
Invest Sh 30K in the stock market and everyone tells you how risky it is.
Spend Sh 30K on a house party and your "friends" will give you high fives and tell you how good of a friend you are.
Instead, program yourself to adopt a wealth mindset.
You'll find the most clarity when you come to the edge of the abyss.
Man does not change unless he has to.
Life is both a tragedy and a comedy.
Embrace it.
There is so much out there. If one thing does not work out, something else will & it will probably be a better option. Stop having a scarcity mindset. The world is an abundant place.
