RE: HiveNaija Weekly Prompt: Less is More.

in Speak Peace • last year

Hello babe. I've been mostly absent from Hive these last few weeks (struggling with so much screen time). But I'm (over)due for a marathon update post and on here thinking about who I miss. I miss you. So I'm here, reading your awesome, heart breaking post. Far out that sounds tough.

Thank you for sharing with us about what's happening with money in Nigeria. It keeps things in perspective for me in this rich first-world country. Yes, everywhere we have problems but some problems are truly far bigger and far more challenging than than elsewhere.

I want you to know that it's totally normal when we are really stressed to oscillate between ignoring (nervous system "freeze") and rapidly taking action to try and fix the problem. I'm glad you're deliberately learning about money and aiming to become financially literate. You're a clever woman. I have no doubt that you'll know more about how to build wealth (in an ethical way) better than most people, even if you have to get creative with the totally messed up system your nation is currently working with.

You can do this. You'll learn. You'll take advantage of ethical opportunities. And you'll probably be teaching others what you've learned soon enough, Miss!

Sending you !LUV love love and a !HUG hug hug. xxx

    Thank you so much and I noticed your absence. I was actually gone for a while too and that was a post after a while. And yes, being literate financially is something I am pursuing with all my heart. And I had this bias regarding education, until now when I see that being educated (especially financially) is really critical to who we become.

    While it might seem strange that I would need financial literacy training in a rich country, I do. I took had a biased education and I was taught much about debt, not a lot about savings, nothing about investments and never got my head around the power of compounding!

    So I took an learning right alongside side you, sister.

      We are taught the same thing over here only that we are also taught to save. The only good my country did was make Credit Cards impossible and that way, we average and less than average don't get into debts unless you want to.
