EARNING MONEY IS A SCAM!

There must be a mathematical equation or juju that money works with. Because, how would someone have all the money on the planet and still need to work to earn more?

It’s so crazy to think about days when a person earns around ₦40,000. Even though it’s very small, they get to live their lifestyle around that income. And all they do is hope that they get to earn more soon enough. Once their earnings increase, are they not supposed to be joyful and then be a little bit relaxed? On a normal note, the answer is yes. But due to the juju that comes with earning, whether as a salary earner or an entrepreneur, as your income increases, your expenses skyrocket.

Don’t even bother carrying a pen and paper and trying to balance sheet the hell out of it. Because everything will only confuse you more. You’ll start wondering how the same things you used to buy when you were earning less are still the same things you buy now, and nothing is left for you to use and hold body.

It’s not that you’re a wasteful buyer (although some people are), it’s the economy of the country we’ve found ourselves in. Everything seems to be getting more expensive as it falls in quality and quantity.

We’re not here to lament about Nigeria, our country, but about how money has one type of equation or juju attached to it.

If it’s not that there’s juju in that CBN where they’re minting our money, why then do the rich have to keep working and earning? Why not receive a huge payment and send all their family members and workers to Marseilles or Miami for a three-year vacation because they’ve earned it? No matter how wealthy a person is, if they do this twice in a decade, it’ll tell on their finances.

Someone has to keep working and earning because once you stop working (without a backup plan), it definitely won’t end well.

But don’t you feel we have to figure out how to solve this equation or cast and bind the juju controlling money?
