Cash, Stash or Dash !!!

Disclaimer notice: Am in no way a financial adviser or consultant or money making interpreter am just an ordinary man trying to share my view on Cash!

"Owo ni koko ", "if you aren't talking money you talking nonsense " and countless other phrase/slangs you must have heard about,

it’s all about money, you too know that really well. Adults wake up early as four am to prepare for their enslavement so that at the end of the month they could get some cash, in this hard time and unpleasant era where money just never seems enough, the more you get the more you spend; the more you spend the more you need, the hole in your pocket never stops getting bigger.

Some wise persons believe saving is the way to avoid poverty, so from their monthly widow’s mite they keep some percent and use the remaining, believing they are not poor, many suffer from this act, they are poorly dressed, they feed poorly and bitterness brews in them, on the other hand those who their Income isn't as bad as the rest are able to live comfortably with some cash still stashed in the bank. On the other hand, majority of salary earners live on a hand to mouth basis, they receive their income and immediately the money is used till it last for other pending needs. Lol…. funny isn't it? But that’s the reality of our beloved Nigeria, the average salary earner doesn't enough to save, you may agree it’s a risky way to live nevertheless who would you fault, the economy or the individual? Have lived in the world of the saver and that of the spender and it’s not an easy way to live.

So let me put this question to you

when you get money do you stash or dash?

either way you look at it, to stash your cash on one hand is good investment, having a long duration savings and all that are financially healthy but when you over stash cash, it’s could now turn out to be at your detriment; cases where your health and those of your loved ones could be threatened just because you refuse to feed properly, get proper medical treatment and a healthy lifestyle. I know of a friend who earns pretty okay, we once worked together on the island, this Joe would refuse to enter Tricycle to the bus top, he always chooses to trek miserably, not as if he works under AC 8 hours daily this friend of mine has been advised many times to watch his health but come rain or sunshine, day or night my guy always love trekking.

To dash cash could be responsible when it’s not in the excess, it’s safe when you choose to give yourself the needed things you need to live healthy, just use that money for what its needed, don’t be a miserable miser. Reward yourself after many sacrifice , help the needy when you called upon , flex and just let your body too enjoy small, am not asking you to use your one month salary/income in one day or in one week, or go and buy all the drinks in your local joint or start giving money to every person that asks you for money am simply saying just spend responsibly .

Wealth is a way of life, one which could truly be attained by having a healthy lifestyle!
