Being broke will humble you.
But it’ll also teach you things you’ll never forget.
Here are 6 financial lessons I learned the hard way 🧵👇
1. You don’t need everything you think you need.
Most times, it’s just a want disguised as a need. Be honest with yourself.
2. If you keep waiting till you're rich to save, you’ll never save.
Start with ₦500, ₦1k — just start. It’s the habit, not the amount.
3. Don’t lend what you can’t afford to lose.
Even if they promise to return it next week. Protect your pocket first.
4. Track your money.
Know where every ₦1 is going. Ignoring your spending will keep you broke.
5. Learn how to make money from your phone.
There’s legit money online. Writing, content, tasks — small earnings add up.
6. Stop trying to impress people who won’t help you when you’re broke.
Spend for your reality, not their opinion.
