YOU CAN AVOID UNNECESSARY PRESSURES
1. Put your kids in schools you can afford.
Expensive schools don’t guarantee good results.
Just ensure they attend a good, affordable school.
2. Rent apartments you can pay for conveniently.
Don’t live in a house you struggle to pay for yearly.
3. Plan your life and live within your means.
Save more. Spend less.
4. Some women buy food for their children every morning before school, or even for the whole family.
Do you know it’s cheaper to cook at home?
5. Some people don’t earn much, yet have DSTV.
Go for GOTV and upgrade when your income upgrades.
It’s still the same CNN anyway.
6. Eat healthy meals and protect your family from mosquitoes
to avoid going to the hospital all the time.
7. Take advantage of foods and fruits in season.
They’re cheaper, and you can be creative and make amazing meals.
8. Don’t copy your neighbor’s lifestyle.
She earns well and her husband is a “big man.”
9. Don’t follow trends.
Wear clean, well-ironed clothes and keep your hair neat.
You will still look good.
10. Keep your circle small.
Keep only friends that have sense.
11. Above all, have the fear of God.
Have integrity.
Don’t be lazy.
Be prayerful.
12. Planning is the key.
If you fail to plan, you are preparing to fail.
13. Don’t do more than your budget can afford.
There is no award for the family that wore the most expensive clothes this year.
14. Don’t compete with anyone.
The purpose of shoes and clothes is to make us smart and decent — not to impress.
RULES ARE RULES.
