I once made K20,000 in one week and by the end of that same week, I was almost broke.
THE LESSON THEY DON'T TEACH YOU AT SCHOOL
It sounds funny now, but at the time, it was painful. The money just vanished. Some food here, unnecessary shopping there, trying to help and please everyone else except myself. I thought I had money i thought i had cracked the code finally … but truth is, I had a weak financial discipline muscle with just a little more cash.
I had the skill to make money but no mindset to manage it well.
That week opened my eyes:
📌 Earning money is not the same as understanding money.
Nobody ever taught us how to budget properly, how to invest wisely, how to multiply what we earn, or even how to say no to things that don’t add value. We learnt geometry in school but no one taught us how to use money as a tool for real life.
These are some lessons I learnt the hard way:
If you don’t tell your money where to go, your feelings will decide for you.
Being broke isn’t just about not having money it’s about how you manage what you have.
💡 Wealth isn’t in how much you make. It’s in how well you grow, protect, and sustain it.
Money literacy is true freedom. It’s knowing how to play the game so that you’re no longer just surviving but building something that lasts.
If you’re tired of working so hard and still feeling stuck, maybe it’s time to relearn money. Start now. Your future self will thank you.
