to have a favorable outcome at life your only job is to think always in your favor… picture an awesome future, just keep assuming everything is always working for you, going your way and in your favor no matter what you currently see or what your present reality says.. ✨
When God makes your blessings easier and quicker for you, there’s the temptation to think that others who are struggling aren’t doing enough, or you’re just better. Resist the temptation
I’ve been thinking about an angle to the home ownership conversation lately. It’s a bothering trend I’ve seen where Property developers now focus on building fully integrated serviced houses, where even if you own the house you have to forcefully pay millions a year in service fees.
They also build the amenities (power, water, waste, maintenance) to flow through a management company, and make it almost impossible to decouple and pay for yourself.
It seems fancy and all when you’re young and making money, but a few of my retired egbons have complained about the Lekki/Ikoyi/Asokoro houses/flats they bought in last 10 years that cost them more than 1m a month to maintain because they bought in a (mini) estate.
Read the fine lines when buying.
There’s a whole type of engineering students that don't memorize formulas and instead derives them on the spot during exams... Lmao people dey this life broo😂🤯
Kunle Elebute, former Chairman of KPMG Africa and Senior Partner of KPMG Nigeria, on the best retirement advice an American partner gave to him.
The two important things in your life:
You must own the home you live in as at retirement and you mustn't owe a dime to anybody on that home.
The second most expensive thing you spend on is your children's education.
By the time you retire and you're not paying for these things, your home and dry . And any income you have afterwards is yours.
This is it! You aren’t even everything to yourself, so why burden someone with being your everything?
People can only amplify what you have inside. If you’re not a happy person, no one can be your happy place.
