Whoa! From the account you...Blessings to you too! <br /><br />Whoa! From the account you gave, it's a wonder you're not teaching a financial education class :D I mean, you had it rough! I can't imagine having to walk to school because you had absolutely no choice. That must've been hard. Talk less of all the other luxuries you couldn't afford. But it is truly a blessing that you are able to talk about these things in the past tense and not the present. So thank God for the woman you have become today and the invaluable lessons you learnt from your childhood experiences. And thank you for being open and honest and sharing your story here. I really appreciate it :-)<br /><br />When life gives you lemons ... I doubt that life's lemons would ever intimidate you again ...

Maybe coin collectors do ... I am sure some of our parents / grandparents still have them :-)<br /><br />So you like boarding schools? I am actually not a fan, but you're right about how they help teach students independence and financial wisdom. You have to manage the money (and provisions) your parents give you until the next visiting day (or afterwards). For those who don't learn then, there's always college/uni, but again, that depends on the kind of uni you attend.The Relentless Builderhttp://relentlessbuilder.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007262862160462114.post-63075584605993446792011-12-09T10:26:39.986-06:002011-12-09T10:26:39.986-06:00Yes, Mike.

LOL @ the stoning. I have never heard of any stoning in Mecca o ... Na wa!<br /><br />I think you make a valid point here, but I don't completely agree. If you cannot manage your money properly when you are earning a little, how then can you manage it well when you are earning a lot more. I think it depends on the nature of your employment. If you are an employee collecting a salary, then your expenses are personal and you might not need a lot financial wisdom because regardless of what you do, you have a steady cash flow every month or so.<br /><br />For an enterpreneur though, the consideration is different. He has BOTH business and personal expenses, so the stakes are higher. He would need to have a lot of financial intelligence to keep his business afloat. <br /><br />What do you think?The Relentless Builderhttp://relentlessbuilder.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007262862160462114.post-58565922199050088922011-12-09T09:41:27.263-06:002011-12-09T09:41:27.263-06:00He he he!

As a child in part of my childhood in the care of a maternal grandparent, he did not give allowances, even to get money to travel to school was a problem and i'd find myself up at 4:30 am pacing the floors till 6 am rehearsing many ways to ask for money to travel to school, on the days when my courage abandoned me, I would walk. I learnt how to make the pittance i had last as long as humanly possible. The pittance usually came from my paternal grandmother who would give me a little from little she had and I would make it last as long as I could. That and the hustle I hustled to work is how I survived. No one with the exception of my paternal grandmother who was poor herself gave me anything and I didn’t ask. I learnt quick how to save, how to be creative to make money last so I could provide for my needs and myself. A lesson I cherish today and understanding that out of that hardship came a blessing.Rhapsodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007262862160462114.post-73705535850286092472011-12-08T00:21:45.580-06:002011-12-08T00:21:45.580-06:00Does anyone still have 1 kobo these days?

...Does anyone still have 1 kobo these days? LOL...<br /><br />You know this is one reason I am a fan of boarding schools in secondary school. For me they were the beginning of financial education and finally independence.

Yes o, a one kobo coin will earn you correct stoning like the one done on mount (help me with the name) in Mecca. lol<br /><br />You raised a very important point here. It's true that parents often neglect the wisdom behind managing money and often tend towards making money only. I guess the reason is because subconciously they believe if you earn a lot of money, perhaps you don't need much wisdom with regards to the handling but if you earn less, you sure needs a whole lot of wisdom in handling it. haha. *just my thoughts* U agree?<br /><br />- LDPLe Dynamique Professeurhttp://dynamiqueprofesseur.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007262862160462114.post-23073076249744031802011-12-06T08:01:20.834-06:002011-12-06T08:01:20.834-06:00 "over-priced designer shirts (the one where ...

Well said on the finances, I didn’t know the value of money until I graduated college and started making my own money, living in this part of the world has made me realize so much..... I recently left my previous job for a company that offered me 20k more than I was making initially, I was ecstatic, only to realize that the difference in my take home pay after taxes is like $280 bucks...<br /> 9jafoodienoreply@blogger.com
