"You don't come across one million naira everyday. You just got lucky. Here's my advice to you, leave it or take it. Don't blow all of the money. Invest seventy percent of the money, it'll do you good"
The gate man told me as I was doing my laundry.
"Let me tell you my story", he said
"I saw serious money when I was about your age, I had the intention to invest but I kept spending money, on friends and on relatives. I drove the best of cars, travelled in style, but anytime the issue of investing came up, I always deferred it till later.
I started noticing that my money was gradually depleting, I curtailed my spending, cut off from some friends, but that only prolonged the inevitable. The contracts stopped coming. The final blow came when my daughter fell sick, I used most, if not all of the money for her hospital bills. That was when I started regreting; different investment opportunities had come my way and I did nothing about it, deferring till later. If only I had invested.
So my son, heed my advice and invest that money."
