I have always struggled when it comes to savings. I am a
financial illiterate. I. Need. Help. I am at a point where I live from hand-to-jaw
– not even close to hand-to-mouth. :-smile
Anyway, whenever I find myself in dire need of money to
survive, God comes through – through fellow human beings. Good people exist in
this wicked world. Believe that.
This morning I woke up with no with electricity. The power
units had run out. The 10% reserved on the card is what is powering my laptop
as I type this. Well, this afternoon I joined a number of my Club members to
visit an ailing member. After the visit I decided to go eat fufu and come home
to rest. After all I won’t eat in the evening. Just when I got to the
restaurant, the member who owns the place ensured I ate to my fill, without
paying. She has no idea of my situation.
Good people.
After thanking her, I boarded a taxi and handed GHS5 to the
driver. There was a gentleman by me who also handed GH5 to the driver. The
driver then explained he had no change for both of us. We we told him to get
some when he gets to town and we alight. This other gentleman implored the
driver to take GHS2 for both of us instead of the GHS3.2 for two passengers. The
driver saisd no, so I brought out GHp50 and handed it over to the driver to add
to my GHS5 so he gives me the GHS3 he had in his hand. I will alight first in
any case. He refused. I got to my destination and the gentleman took my GHp50
and asked me to keep my GHS5. He will pay for me.
Good people.
You see, I am not saying it is alright to have an anaemic
account. Get help. Get financial literacy training. I. Need. Help. I need to
plan my finances. There are good people, but you can also be one. Don’t always
be at the receiving end. Be a giver too. Be good people.
