My name is Babatunde, I am in my thirties and so far I have
seen things: I have seen the rich becoming poor suddenly, I have seen few poor
becoming rich, and some middle class downgrade into the poor community. I have
seen men live from pay check to pay check without any savings whatsoever, I have
seen people sell their properties because of (un)avoidable financial
obligations according to them, I have seen people been thrown out of their homes
due to debts and overdue rent, I have seen children stop schooling or being
withdrawn from good schools to just
ordinary ones, I have seen marriages fail and some ended up in divorce over
financial misappropriation , I have seen the hungry and the desolate, the
homeless and the cloth-less, sad to say I have also seen men on dung hill, I have
seen men live in abject poverty, I have seen men do things, both good and bad
to acquire this legal tender called money, I have seen men forsook shame so as
to eat and provide for their family.
I know what it means not to have good cloths, I know what it
means not to have books and having to borrow and quickly make jottings for
latter reading, I know what it means to soak ‘garri’ so that it will be handful
and tummy filling, I saw my parent borrow money to pay school fee, I saw them
raised funds from dividend warrants for my families upkeep, I saw my
Mother do
make-shift-soup so we can eat, that’s not to say we were poor but our Finance
oscillates from time to time just like yours and mine do today, and I have made
a decision to learn and handle personal finance and also to teach and help people
on how to get out of debt, learn more about their retirement, understand what
investment is all about, get a grasp of
their pension, do simple budgeting, take calculated financial risk, Save……..,
the list is endless.
Come with me on this Blog and we will do great things
together, we will expose our self to knowledge by rubbing minds together and
also share experiences and proffer answers to numerous personal financial questions
together.
