Why I Broke Up With Pulpy

So I didn't really break up with Pulpy, I just decided to stay away a little. Sigh, I know you're curious to know the full story so I'll go straight to the point. We had this training at work that centred on saving, investing and re-investing and all I could think about was my darling five alive pulpy. I thought about how much I've spent on it since I fell in love with it. It was love at first sight and it has become my aphrodisiac. But that hasn't been my only unprofitable investment - there's been my unnecessary earpiece/hands-free buying as a result of my being a music freak and I'm almost incomplete without it. Sadly, I've never really been fortunate with getting original earpiece so I keep replacing them every time one ear stops working or it stops working altogether.

All in all, the speaker urged us to focus on actual needs not wants. Like stopping our DSTV subscriptions and using our phones to record cartoons from neighbors houses then play it for our kids to watch, lol he didn't say that. I'm kidding, I'm a kidder. All I could think about was pulpy baby, I kept wondering what I'd do without it in a week at least but then, I figured I just have to do this and join team tap water.

I'm just saying though. I guess we have a lot of things that we spend on which we can totally do without but we won't stop spending on them anyway. You need to break up with the pulpy(s) in your life if you want to deny yourself of that thing that can obstruct your journey towards financial independence. Substitute buying airtime for calls especially international calls which could cost a lot to using any social media platform to call provided you and the recipient have strong Internet connection.

Another thing which is a very strong point I got, if not the strongest was that you need to cut off some people from your life to achieve financial independence. The ones who only encourage you to spend more money on expensive clothes, shoes et al should be cut off, if not totally but somehow. You're smart so I believe you can do it. It doesn't apply to me though but I can totally relate *pops collar*. One last thing, you have to be logically generous, whatever that means but you get my point yeah? Incase you don't, what I'm saying is that you should give after you put aside money for every else including saving. Don't be emotional, rather be logical. Financial independence is a choice and that choice is yours to make.

My Marriage Story...So Far

I get to be asked about how marriage has been a lot by some of my unmarried friends. I’ve not even been married for long enough to be qualified to answer that question. From my little experience, marriage, like any other phase in life isn’t all smooth. It has its ups and downs. There’s an extra respect you get as soon as you get married. I get to be called MA a lot by people who wouldn’t ordinarily call me that and I’m wondering why. I guess it’s just the way the society has made it. Oh and I lost some friends as soon as I got the MRS title. Some people don’t care about how serious your relationship is, they’d still be on your ‘case’ but as soon as you say “I do”, they’d forget you like you never existed. This was good and bad for me because I considered some to be great friends but then, I guess I was wrong. Then there’s the pressure to get pregnant, I got lucky to get pregnant earlier than I thought though I wasn’t even ready. But before my body began announcing it, I still

Dunsin's Kitchen - Second Year Anniversary

I’m not a fan of long WhatsApp posts hence the need to write, post and just share the link on one WhatsApp/Instagram post. I’m a bit rusty (writing-wise) sha but I’ll try. I want to talk about how Dunsin’s Kitchen (DK) started because it’s our second anniversary today. I never imagined being a cook at this time, not with banking and family stress. I’ve imagined selling food a couple of times and it was inspired by one boli and beans seller in Asaba during my NYSC in 2014. I told my friend Osaru then that I’d love to start a place like that and call it Boli Kitchen. We just used to laugh about it then plus I’m not really a fan of beans though I could cook it well if I wanted to. Fast forward to 2020, we had a guest- my husband’s colleague who I served jollof rice and she kept talking about how good it was. One day, she said she would love to buy if I could make it for her so I agreed. Then I decided to ask others if they’d like to buy so I wouldn’t be making a small portion and some agr

Making Your Death Profitable

I read a thread on twitter recently about women whose husbands die and the in-laws take over everything their husband owned and it got me thinking about a lot of things. That is actually the reality in a lot of homes in Nigeria. Husband dies, his family takes over stuff without considering how his wife will cater for the kids. Sometimes, they might even kill the man to get his properties and take over everything including his wife. It’s really sad that people can be so wicked and inconsiderate which is why we need to take some steps to prevent our loved ones from suffering after our demise. It’s very important for a woman to work and have her own investments in different places no matter how rich your husband is. I’ve seen women who become maids after their very rich husband dies and there’s nothing left for them. While you can’t stop any in-law from claiming whatever, you can build yourself up financially so that you won’t be affected financially when death happens to your husb
