DETTY DECEMBER guide



FRSC warnings aside, the most dangerous thing about December is that it’s right before January.
And you see January? Hmm. It has 61 days. If your'e not careful,your parte after parte December would become a debte after debte one
So before you get reckless with money over the next three weeks, let’s agree on a few things.
1. You won’t attend shows featuring the same artistes.
How many times are we going to listen to the same songs live, really? If two shows feature 75% of the same artistes without any special guests, skip one and save money.
2. You will set a budget.
Because you can never overplan to spend.
3. You will eat before you go out (because there’s always rice at home).
A full stomach equals some money saved. Sure, it may mean there’ll be less vigorous dancing at first but you’ll get lighter as the night progresses.
4. You will turn on Spend+Save (and keep it on).
Even when you’re spending on budget, it’s good to know that something is being saved every time. (10% of 1,000 naira spent is 100 naira saved.) Turn that thing on!
No one should get in the way of your alcohol (as long as you don’t drink and drive or bring shame to your family tree), but you can go from one drink to too many drinks fast and end up a lot less liquid than you want to be. BYOB.
6. You won’t touch your January savings, no matter what.
Oh, you haven’t saved a lump sum for January? Are you trying to live on the edge? Please, please, please, put some money in Fixed Savings now and keep your hands off it.
7. You will be generous with sense.
Not every time “Drinks on me!” Sometimes, “Your drinks on you.” Also, you should split cab fare with your friends (look out for serious surges) if no one is driving. There’s no shame in being financially wise.
8. You won’t shop on impulse.
A new outfit for one night of rocks? Is that really necessary? Go with your wardrobe classics and you can start the new year with enough money to get new clothes.
9. You won’t borrow for the wrong reasons.
Borrowing to shop for clothes? Wrong reason. To throw a party? Wrong reason. To travel for fun? Also a wrong reason. If you’re not in a tight spot, saving up is always better than taking a loan.
10. You will buy gifts ahead.
Last-minute gift shopping means you’re buying whatever you can find, which means you’re likely to overspend. Shop ahead, thoughtfully.
May the rocks be ever in your favour.

 There are 3 annoying things that Nigerian online stores do, I see it everyday but I just cringe in anger . 1. "DM for price" like you don't have to say this everytime you put on an ad for a product you're selling...like are you counting the number of people who enter your DM's, it doesn't make business sense. I've also noticed that they then give outrageous prices, like really outrageous prices. I believe they do this because they want to sell at a different price to you, based on your IG account, just like market people price you according to your car 😂. 2. "Outrageous prices" this is the most annoying I've seen, because some people just assume that because they are selling on IG and Twitter and WhatsApp, they can charge what ever they feel, they forget I can just stroll to ABA or Balogun to get the same thing. It's those that sell clothes that do this alot. 10k for 5k shirt then you hear minus delivery. 😂😂, you ...

BLUE TICKS

Welcome back 🙂, it's been a very long time. Here's a piece I've been working on lately, please enjoy and leave a comment.🤗🤗 Intance, I'm texting a girl, probably in the night like 8pm, we're going on back to back, had a cool night. Two days after I texted again just to check up on you, the next thing is that you've left me on read....  I'm pissed already by this point. I try to calm myself, I'm not really a patient person. I try to ignore checking if like 2hrs after being left on read I'm not given a reply because at this point it's up to the person who is viewing it to scroll down to reply. This then depends on your level of importance to the person. A day after I text again and I get the same cycle. The blue tick with no reply.  This is why I don't text much, cause I hate being left on read. But there are genuine reasons why you can be left on read... * The person is busy *The person has forgotten they opened the message *The person has ...

THE SILENT KILLER OF RELATIONSHIPS I have a temper. It’s something I work on, but it’s not something I try to hide. I talk openly about having one and how I try to control it or, at the very least, express it appropriately. I used to know rage well — and not just the road variety either. My anger comes out less these days, but not because I don’t feel it. Every day, there’s a fresh news story reminding me that people, women in particular, have plenty of reasons for rage. But what I’ve found interesting over the years is that my anger when unleashed might be a fearsome thing, but it’s not as dangerous as my quiet. I was in so many relationships where worry was directed at my anger, not my silence. Arguments were seen as potential problems, but my silence was ignored. I never deployed silence as a tactic. It wasn’t a cold shoulder in response to offending behavior. Silence, for me, was the place where I went when all my emotions collided into something so much l...
