People often assume that spending money easily means you don’t understand its value.
The reality is that I understand exactly what it’s worth because I’ve spent years earning very little of it.
I worked for R40 a day putting ceilings in a hospital. I worked as an IT technician for R500 a month few years after that. Twenty-five years of risks, hard work, good decisions, and sacrifice got me to where I am today.
That’s why I don’t feel guilty about spending R5,000 on something I want. I know exactly what that money represents because I’ve lived on far less.
@TheDeveloperess@KabeloMusic@ChriExcelTrans You're very smart. The reaction was intentional. And in instances like this one, when you don't deny... you're implying it is true
@KatlegoVeer@penuelist_ Reducing isithembu to a "rich man's arrangement" ignores its cultural roots. Poverty doesn't stop people from marrying one spouse, and wealth doesn't automatically qualify someone for multiple wives. Responsibility matters more than income.
@penuelist_ I think people are confusing ability with wealth. Isithembu was never exclusively for rich men. Historically, ordinary men also practised it. Wealth can influence how comfortably it's sustained, but it doesn't define who can or cannot enter into it.
God is saying to you today: I want you to know that I am the God of divine order. I will place you at the right place at the right time. You will meet the right people and do the right things. This means I can and will open doors of opportunity for you. Whatever you need, I know where you can get it and from whom. Trust me.
My own cup is empty. This is why I am currently unable to pour into others. If anyone cares about me, this is the time to pour into me. Even the strongest soldiers sometimes get vulnerable and need rest.
@Lee_Raa_Tuu Blacklisting will hurt you long-term. Debt review = strict but gives breathing space. Lower installments = more flexible, but you need discipline. Best move? Cut small costs, use a snowball approach — clear the little debts first, build momentum, then tackle the big ones
Sometimes you just gotta lay in your bed and stare at the ceiling and talk to God about everything. Tell him that life feels heavy and tell him that you trust him even though nothing makes sense right now.
Not to sound delusional, but please pray for grace. Life isn't really about hard work. It's more about meeting the right people, grace, mercy, and favour.
I want the kind of money that lets me show up for my people. Even if I can't fix everything, i want to at least soften the moment. To send food. To send transport fare. To send ice-cream money on a hard day.
I'm tired of only saying "sorry."
If I'm being honest, half the things I went through are in fact because of me, my lack of discipline, not listening to my gut feelings, and my poor decision-making.
