Sometimes, I regret not saving up money when I was supposed to. With the money I spent recklessly on things that were not meaningful including the clubs I want to at my tertiary institution, I would have been a bigger woman than this and I regret not saving money when I should.
I kept on shifting it forward but I ended up not saving.
Presently, I can’t spend how much I used to anymore. Luckily, I’m richer and even a better person but the truth is that there are more reasonable things I need to spend money on. I gotta pay bills, pay for light, water, feeding, data and other things.
This made me remember how happy I was at first when I was about to fully leave my parent’s home thinking it will be bed of roses but I got it all wrong. And sometimes, I wish I could just go back home to take a break from anything that has to do with adulthood.
Just yesterday, I paid for light at home and when I got to shop, I realized that the light got exhausted already as well and just that morning, I spent nothing less than five dollars which is a whole lot of money here in Nigeria. After a while, I filled my gasoline cylinder and still had my data subscription.
Many times, I want to go out to have fun but I just can’t because I have so many things to spend money on and everyday of my life, these spendings make me a better and more responsible person.
That’s because I spend money on the things that I need or the important things. Secondly, I have now learned how to manage the usage of all the things I have including food which is one of the most expensive things right now.
This phase of adulthood may be difficult but also a smooth journey because I can afford my basic things in life and if those can be solved, it means I’m away from poverty and moving to the next level.
I love how adulthood is making me a more responsible person in the society.
