My unpopular opinion: if you live in a house that your partner cannot afford to pay the rent when you are down financially, you are better without that partner or without that house. Same thing applies to your children’s school fees. If your partner cannot afford to pay the school fees if/when you are down financially, you are either better without that partner or your kids are attending the wrong school.
In both cases, when/if you are down financially, landlord will send you out or the school will send your kids out of school. When then do you have a partner?

This is a limiting mindset.
If you apply this mindset to your self development and financial literacy journey, growth is evitable.
That reality, I have replicated across two climes.
These pictures you see here, are pictures I took when I exited my Ikota, Ajah one room apartment.
When I got into that apartment, I had barely 50K to my name. I was working a 70K job situated in V.I.
In that apartment, I got a Google Scholarship.
In that apartment, I became a cloud engineer.
In that apartment, I became a DevOps engineer.
In that apartment, I landed my first 6 fig role,
In that apartment, I landed my first contract remote role with BOA as Azure DevOps,
In that apartment, I made my first 7 fig.
Did I leave? No.
I didn't leave, in 2 years of increased consistent earnings.
I stacked coins, called them children - started taking classes in stocks, investing and crypto. Slowly made those children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Then I used the greatgrandchildren, to move to a full furnished selfdetached duplex and funded my exit from Nigeria.
Since I moved abroad, I have repeatedly executed on that fundamental template of "living below your means" and delayed gratification.
Please don't tell me about responsibilities - I have 3 siblings and a mother I've catered to, since I was 15.
Financial literacy is a skill AND it is DEFINITELY different from being miserly.
