As a man, becoming a millionaire should come first before marriage.
It’s relatively easy to build wealth alone than building it with wife and kids.

Compounding is strange.
In the beginning, it looks like nothing is happening.
Then one day, it looks like you got lucky.
You didn't.
You just stayed invested longer than most people.
Most people quit investing because they expect results in months.
Wealthy investors get results because they think in decades.
Compounding rewards patience, not urgency.
The first ₦1 million is built by saving.
The next ₦10 million is built by compounding.
The next ₦100 million is built by time.
Never underestimate what decades of investing can do.
Imagine you are 28 today with nothing saved. You feel behind.
Now imagine you invest ₦30,000 a month, every month, until you are 58.
At a 15% average yearly return, you would retire with over ₦200 million, having put in only ₦10.8 million of your own money.
You are not too late. You are exactly on time to start. Thirty years rewards the person who simply begins.
In 10 years, I will have roughly 78 million naira sitting in a mutual fund. 68 million of that will be pure interest.
Let me show you how I got here.
In 2018, I studied compound interest and decided to give it a shot. I started putting 30,000 naira every month into a mutual fund at 20% annual interest. In June 2023, when I started earning more, I increased it to 50,000 naira monthly.
Today, I have over 8 million naira in that account. I have deposited 3.6 million naira in total and earned over 4.5 million naira as interest. That is more than I put in.
And I am just getting started.
If I keep dropping 50k there every month for the next 10 years, I will be looking at roughly 78 million naira, with about 68 million being pure interest.
That is the power of compound interest. As small as the money you save might be, with a good interest rate of 18 to 20% annually, you can become a multimillionaire in 10 to 20 years.
Not everybody is good at business and not everyone will excel there. If business is not your thing, find a low risk investment and put your money there. Let it compound and watch yourself become a boss.
Above all, love God.
