USE THE GOLDEN RESPONSE: 

[Alfred Mathu @MathuAlfred]

This is the story of how I cleared a 10-year mortgage in 2 years

In the year 2000, I signed for my first mortgage KSh 2.7 million, repayable over ten years, with a monthly installment of about KSh 37,000. At the time, it felt significant but manageable. Like many young professionals, I believed the difficult part was getting approved. Once the bank said yes, I was ready to sit back and relax knowing that in 10 years i will be a home owner.

That is what traps most people.

When many people secure a mortgage, they celebrate the approval rather than confront the obligation. They upgrade furniture, expand their lifestyle, and slowly adjust their expenses until the monthly payment blends into routine existence. Ten years quietly becomes normal. The loan stops feeling temporary and starts feeling permanent.

I had a mentor who refused to let that happen. Stewart Henderson, who was serving as CEO of Old Mutual at the time told me something that permanently changed my understanding of debt: a mortgage is not a commitment it is an emergency.

Then he introduced a rule that, at the time, felt extreme. Every month I earned commissions, I had to bring my statement to him before spending any money. We would sit down together and allocate it.

The bank required KSh 37,000.
Stewart ignored that number.

Instead, he focused on capacity. Whenever income rose, payments rose. Whenever earnings improved, we attacked the loan. He called it 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, treating debt as something to eliminate quickly rather than manage comfortably.

The first few months were uncomfortable. The natural instinct after earning more money is to reward yourself. Income creates a feeling of entitlement to enjoy what you worked hard for. But discipline does not negotiate with feelings. Every additional shilling was assigned before it reached my pocket.

Something surprising happened. As my income grew, but my lifestyle did not.

Because expenses stayed controlled, every increase in earnings accelerated repayment. The balance started shrinking visibly not yearly, but monthly. What had been structured as a ten-year obligation began to feel temporary.

Two years later, I made the final payment.

Now here’s the surprise, after I serviced the mortgage to completion, my mentor did not congratulate late me. He simply told me to start looking for the next property.

Most people follow a familiar sequence: earn, spend, then save what remains. I learned to earn, allocate, then live on the balance. The house was not paid off by income alone; it was paid off by priority.

Over the years, advising many individuals, I have noticed a consistent pattern. Nearly everyone wants financial freedom eventually, but very few accept financial discipline immediately. The distance between the two is not measured in years it is measured in habits.

Your path does not have to begin with a mortgage. In fact, for many people the smarter starting point is elsewhere, structured savings & investments, or disciplined accumulation strategies that eventually position you for homeownership without pressure.

19 year olds with no experience are about to be running stores that make $10k/mo while they sleep.

While you're still doing everything manually and getting $0 results…

They'll set this up once and let it print.

And you can do it too with just 3 of these courses Anthropic dropped...

THE COURSES THAT ACTUALLY MATTER:

Skip Claude 101. Skip the student and educator stuff.

Go straight to:

• Building with the Claude API (8 hours) > this teaches you to build actual apps and automations

• Introduction to MCP (1 hour) > this lets you connect Claude to any tool, any service

• Claude Code in Action (1 hour) > automate your entire workflow from the command line.

These three alone let you build systems that replace $2k/month agencies.

THE PROMPTING STRUCTURE THAT PRINTS

Several people type "write me an ad" and wonder why the output is trash.

This is the structure that actually works:

“<system>You are an ecom copywriter specializing in hooks.</system>

<task>Generate 10 Facebook ad hook variations for [product]</task>

<context>
- Target audience: [who]
- Pain points: [list from customer research]
- Competitors are using: [angles]
</context>

<examples>
Hook that worked: "[paste winning hook]"
</examples>

<output_format>
Hook 1: [text]
Hook 2: [text]

</output_format>”

XML tags + examples + clear output format = 10x better results than "write me an ad."

THE ECOM CHEAT CODES:

Once you learn the API, you can build:

• Ad creative generator > feed it 5 competitor ads, it extracts patterns and generates 50 variations in 10 minutes

• Customer research machine > paste Reddit threads, Amazon reviews, TikTok comments. It pulls exact phrases your customers use and turns them into ad copy

• Product page writer > upload competitor pages, it builds yours better. Headline, benefits, social proof, CTA. Done in 2 minutes

• Email/SMS flow builder > "Build me a 5-email abandoned cart sequence for [product]" - full flow with subject lines, personalization, timing

• Competitor analyzer > paste 10 ads, it tells you what hooks they're using, what angles convert, what's missing that you can exploit

THE AUTOMATION PLAY:

Learn MCP and you can connect Claude directly to:

• Shopify (auto-respond to customers, track orders, update inventory)

• Facebook Ads (analyze performance, suggest bid changes)

• Your email platform (generate and schedule campaigns)

Set it on a cron job. It runs every morning. So you simply just wake up to a done job instead of tasks.

THE MATH:

What used to cost:

> $50/hour copywriter for ad variations
> $2k+/month agency for creative strategy
> 5 hours/week scrolling ad libraries for research

Now costs:

$0.01-0.10 per query in API tokens
Maybe $20/month total

And it runs while you sleep.

THE ISSUE:

90% of people will:

> Take Claude 101
> Get the certificate
> Post it on LinkedIn
> Never use any of it

The 10% who win will:

> Skip to the API and MCP courses
> Build one automation that saves them 10 hours/week
> Stack automations until their entire creative pipeline runs on autopilot

The play is free, but the implementation prints.

Your move.

If you own land in ushago,

And that land is:
- Outside a municipality
- Outside a town or urban area
- Classified as agricultural land
- And below 50 acres

When you sell it,

- You pay zero Capital Gains Tax.

Regardless of the value.

So, when KRA calls to demand their share,

Explain to them those facts.

And you will walk away with your money intact.
