December survival tricks

Business

So December is almost here. Some of you or your friends will close for December on 11th Dec and return on Jan 11th.

Majority of those working will get paid on December 18th. The next pay day will be Jan 29th…a whole 42 days later.

Since December is considered to be the happiest month by many, there will be tendencies to over indulge. House parties, binge drinking, DFHKM, road trips etc. Sadly, December will pass and reality check is in January. School fees, rent payments, STI clinic visits, unwanted pregnancy etc.

So without wasting your time, here are a few tricks you can employ to make December a very memorable one and beat January blues. You can as well share a few tricks

  1. The cardinal rule is to budget as early as today. This will help avoid impulse spending.

  2. Pay your January rent in December, preferably before Christmas. If the landlord decides to hike rent in January because he too is broke, unaweza jitetea that you have already paid.

  3. Pay 25% or 50% of your kid’s school fees before Christmas. You don’t want the school bursar to chase your kid away. Back to school shopping should be done in December.

  4. For the partakers of Ruaraka waters and the likes, buy your drinks from DOD. You will save up to 40% on mzinga and such.

  5. If your thinking of going on holiday and you still haven’t booked, Forget it! You have already missed the early bird discounts. Next time book for December holidays before September. For instance, 5 days in Voyager was 25K in August. Now it’s over 70K.

  6. For those who like buying their kids new Christmas clothes, shop at Eastleigh and get massive discounts.

  7. Avoid drink driving. NTSA and cops also looking for money to spend for Christmas with their families. But most importantly, we need you here next year. Don’t be the Late

  8. All house parties and road trips must be accompanied by a pack of condoms. It’s the season of giving.

The floor is now open for Conspiracy theories
