Sadly this is the fate of the overwhelming majority of middle class Nairobians who are too proud to get something of their own in DC is the future or similar surrounding burbs of Metro-Nairobi. The funny thing is some of them drive very posh cars worth a milli or more yet cry that rent in Kileleshwa, South C, Pangani etc is too high Laughing out loudly. They think the universe only exists in Nai core.
In the final analysis, it all boils down to sheer plain old hard work and dogged persistence. Nothing more, nothing less!!

Emotion vs Mathematics

It's always people who don't do math who come up with emotional arguments about investing.

Ati live in Kayole so that you can save for a house sijui where?

There is a thread on this forum.

It has been voted many times as the best thread ever on Wazua. I know some of you can't read or don't know how to google. But try to find it.

It was comprehensive and it was detailed with data.

You might learn one or two things from it.

Hii mambo of following the crowd is what get's people to buy tuburotis in the wild then wonder why their lives are miserable.

Who told you that a person renting a 150k house is not investing?

I'll repeat again. Living in Isinya is not what I consider living a good life. Life is too short to accept mediocre lifestyles in the name of "investing"

But

I have no problem selling you a kaburoti in the bundus.

Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?

Well said. If my primary goal in life is to avoid paying rent in Kilimani or Kileleshwa, I would rather go back to my shagz and live in mud walled hut on ancestral land rather than buy a unserviced kaburoti in the middle of nowhere.
Life is short. Live passionately.

Like I said before, financial literacy should be taught by force.

Not owning a kaburoti means you own "nothing"?

Why would I ever want to live in a place that takes me 2 hours to get to work? What financial sense does that make?

Wewe kaa DC...Hapa niko sawa tu.

But like I told you...I will buy the land you are selling and subdivide to sell to the fools who believe you. That would probably be my 5 years of rent in profit.

Kila mtu akae kwake.

I am beginning to believe that there are people who invest to impress others. That's a very strange change in wazua.

amaorphous bin mugundaman, I will never invest to make you or the people of DC happy. I do it with math and a reason. I'm not going to live my aging days in a place where there's more dust inside the house than outside.

Aiii boss.

When a man can value his life based on the tuborotis he owns in a dusty dry area.

Sad.

Wewe weka shamba hapa tukununulie lakini kutudanganya hapa sijui isinya sijui wapi wacha tu...We shall use your skills to sell the subdivisions to the fools who want to retire there.

As I had said earlier, the quality of content on the blue section is becoming ala green section.

Where did the number of sufurias I own come in?

I just said, it is a not wise man who buys a kaburoti in Namanga ati coz a lot of people are moving there.

If you are buying land to invest and especially to retire in, there are better options than that ungodly area. Even the maasai don't live there, they just go there to graze their cattle.

Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?
