1. 💸 Budgeting is no longer optional — it’s survival.
Even Ksh. 100 can disappear with just one errand.
Write it down. Track every coin. Prioritize needs over wants.
Learn to say “sina” even when you feel pressured. It’s not selfish — it’s smart.
2. 🛍️ Side hustles are not for luxury anymore — they’re lifelines.
Selling mtumba, baking, making TikTok content, farming, errands, or Jumia orders —
Do whatever honest work you can.
Don’t depend on one job, one boss, or one paycheck. The system is unstable. Diversify.

3. 🧠 Mental health is wealth.
Just because everyone is “pretending to be okay” doesn’t mean you have to.
You’re allowed to feel tired. To feel stuck. To rest.
Ask for help. Cry. Pray. Breathe.
You are not weak for feeling overwhelmed. You’re strong for still going.

4. 🌱 Start small. Grow slow. Stay consistent.
Forget flashy success. Build silently. Learn daily. Fail fast and rise again.
Even saving Ksh. 20 a day is something.
Your journey is yours — don’t compare it to anyone’s highlight reel.

5. 🤝 Kindness is a currency. Use it.
Sometimes, all someone needs is a reply, a “how are you?”, or a handout of 50 bob.
We are each other’s keepers. We rise by lifting others.
In a country that’s heavy, be someone’s light.
💭 Kenya is hard. But we’re harder.
The pain is real — but so is the potential.
We can survive this. Together.
