MY MONEY AND I

Ibrahim

IN  SIMPLE TERMS,  MONEY IS AN EXCHANGE OF VALUE. IT IS AN ESSENTIAL COMMODITY THAT HELPS US RUN OUR LIVES. IT IS ALSO A MEANS FOR WHICH A PERSON TRADES WHAT HE HAS FOR WHAT HE WANTS.

IF YOU HAD TO BUY A BICYCLE (WHAT YOU WANT),  YOU WILL NEED TO TRADE IT (EXCHANGE) FOR WHAT YOU HAVE (MONEY). 

“A GOOD WAY TO MULTIPLY YOUR MONEY IS TO GIVE”.

There are many ways you can generate income:

.. monetary gifts from relatives and family friends

As a student in school, you might be wondering how you can make money. There are various healthy jobs you can do to make some money.

.. Tutoring some of your classmates or children of your family friends/neighbours

In simple terms, savings is income owned, but not spent. It is the funds deferred for consumption or use.

SHORT STORY: AHMED WAS STROLLING HOME FROM SCHOOL ONE SUNNY AFTERNOON AND HE NOTICED A NEW OUTLET OPENED IN HIS NEIGHBOURHOOD. HE WALKED IN THERE AND TO HIS AMAZEMENT, THERE WAS A SECTION WHERE THEY SOLD VIDEO GAMES.

HE WAITED TILL EVENING FOR HIS DAD TO RETURN. IN EXCITEMENT, HE ASKED HIM FOR MONEY TO BUY SOME NEW GAMES. DADDY TURNED DOWN HIS REQUEST AND TOLD HIM TO SAVE MONEY TO BUY WHAT HE WANTS. UNHAPPY AHMED WAITED FOR THE WEEKEND TO COME. HE WAS SURE UNCLE SAM WOULD VISIT.

‘UNCLE SAM, PLEASE I WANT TO BUY SOME NEW VIDEO GAMES. THE ONES I HAVE ARE OUTDATED.’ HE SAID. HIS UNCLE REPLIED ALMOST LIKE HIS DAD. EVEN THOUGH AHMED WAS UNHAPPY, HE COULD SENSE THAT HIS DAD AND UNCLE WERE TEACHING HIM AN IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE. HE MADE UP HIS MIND TO SAVE MONEY TO BUY THE VIDEO GAMES.

IT TOOK A WHILE, BUT AHMED ENDED UP BEING ABLE TO SAVE MONEY TO PURCHASE WHAT HE WANTED. HE DEPRIVED HIMSELF OF SOME SNACKS HE COULD HAVE BOUGHT, KEPT OTHER CASH GIFTS RECEIVED FROM HIS RELATIVES.

DEVELOPING THE HABIT OF SAVING IS NON NEGOTIABLE. IT HELPS IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

.. creating a brighter future for tomorrow.

.. preparing for further needs and events

.. earn interest and helping your money grow 

.. reducing the temptation of reckless spending

THE BEST AND SECURE WAY TO SAVE YOUR MONEY IS IN THE BANK OR RECOGNISED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. YOU CAN START BY SAVING YOUR MONEY THROUGH PIGGY BANKING.

HOWEVER,GROW FROM THAT LEVEL. OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT AND SAVE MONEY THERE. IT HAS MANY BENEFITS. I WILL SHARE MORE ON THIS LATER.
