Kuna nugu pale kwa ploti ako jobless and lives with his 40year old uncle. Uncle yake anafanya kwa mhindi. Ile nugu idler usema by the time he is 40 atakua millionaire. Yeye ushinda aki idle around betting shops na mogoka base. Tafakari hayo

Kuna wengine kama hao wanakaa kwa maservant quarter za kwao, wanaoa na hawataki kufanya job.

First and foremost, napenda saaaaana yaani TOJ because my comment ilikuuma. It’s funny how you always name drop and act like you’re well connected, Oh thee of high intelligence. Ironically, at one time you called people who chew khat people of low IQ but umekita kambi kwa inbox ya mayeks (mtu ya mairungi) ukiomba coins :D:D

Hapa nakubaliana na wewe
Vijana wana haraka sana siku hizi…trying to compete with nhif looters to accumulate wealth overnight.
I had that mentality when I was in my 20s, made lots of money, got into trouble with authorities and hurt a lot of people along the way all because I had a deadline ati lazima nifike 30 Nikiwa na a certain amount of millions.
Pesa mzuri ni Ile unatafuta na jasho yako pole pole…
Hii pesa inaingia as you keep on peeping over your shoulders hupotea haraka sana

You assume hizo pesa huingia kwa njia haramu

Kamzee kako na defeatist mentality moja ya ajab. Ety because sijui 70% earn less than 50k that’s is the way he consoles himself. Nothing is easy, even getting to that 50k is not but when you’re always comparing yourself to the average, you kind of go into a comfort zone. It starts in the mind!

Guka ukikunywa ruhia huwa unaongea kama mboi kamiti au mugo wa kibiru na kimathi combined.Lakini upunguze mairungi na tumbaku otherwise hutakuwa nasi tukisherehekea jamuhuri ingine.

I am always amazed at the audacious naivety of youth.

In recent times on this site, this has taken the form of deriding old foggies like me, @gashwin, @Clawmatsu, @It’s Le Scumbag etc etc as being possible financial failures who come here to exorcise our demons.

The narrative by young talkers has been: if you don’t have tonnes of money by 40 and are still struggling you are a ferking failure.

Just yesterday one brat wrote:

“Money is not even in the top five for me, it only becomes a problem if you don’t have it and you don’t stick to your lane or [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]you’re like in your late 30s and still struggling.”

Well, well, well.

I wouldn’t think people struggling financially at say 38 years would be such a surprise in a country where 70% of the people earn less than 50K a month, or thereabouts. In fact, if data is anything to go by, most of us will be struggling THROUGH-OUT life. It’s nothing to be ashamed really.

The tragedy for our youth is that they have been blinded by such outliers like Zukabag and other social media entrepreneurs to think tha it is normal to make tonnes of money by 30. Yes, it is possible, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Young people in Kenya need to be real if our country is to have long-term prosperity. Its statistically highly unlikely that a young person, ON AVERAGE, wil be worth more than $20,000 by the time you are 35. No matter how hard you bet or rob, slay and con your way. Chances are that those who do the later will simply get shot or die in crazy situations like Sharon and Keino.

Of course you could say that all this is from a salty failure. That’s your take. Doesn’t matter really.

Now, let me end with a grown-up statistic: IN the good old USA, the average age for a person to become a millionaire, that is: ASSETS - LIABITIES = more than Ksh100 million is 58 years for women and 59 for men.

Bwana @gashwin and @Meria Mata , you still got like 10 years to make this average. Just stay real, and watch the youngins self-destruct in an orgy of stupid social medialism.

@FieldMarshal CouchP you do well to highlight the messes that our younger bro go through trying to make it. I do not begrudge anyone their believes and opinions but I only wish that when they finally get there, they can say that they made is without any self consciousness. Knowing it was their labour and knowledge that got them there.
I also hope that they can find happiness in their achievements. If one is not happy,then all that struggle is for naught.

My question would be: if you had a chance to do it all over gain,would you do it? In the same way? Would your conscious be at peace?

[Ubongo]

Youths’ entitlement is their own detriment, they don’t want to sacrifice and feel pain for good life. No pain no gain.

Thanks for this but one thing you failed to compare is the life expectancy in Kenya against that in States… Did I call you [SIZE=1]chieth?? [/SIZE]

you sound like you are onto something but how does your assertion fit in the grand scheme of things?

Last yr was my hardest …i lost everything (story fr another day)…so i went to a house party my girlfriend had this new german car , my other girlfriend had her hubby suprise her with a red range so the neighbours came by n started talking big …one man owns a house in syokimau …mwingine kileleshwa etc.I felt so little…they were living in this 30k plus apartments, on my side money fr uber was a problem.

This yr i hve come to know my girlfriends r just living fr likes on social media debts everywhere …sponsors ,sleeping with co. Patners etc.

That mans hse is owned by the wife :D:D

No long term investments or plans , quiet sad

Desiderata will tell you to ‘avoid loud and aggressive people because they are a vexation to the soul’ Set your goals in a realistic way. Follow through and things will fall into place. In America the average student debt in 2018 is $37,172. That is almost 4 million kshs debt even before you start tarmacking!
