Bot my paros a cow,used the rest to pay ma bro's fees. Before I cud even buy myself a pair of socks,I was already broke. Thank God I was still living in my aunts hse in Nai,still sleeping on a sofa; I wud have been thrown out by the landlord.

'Tough times never last but tough peope do.'

I was paid cash my first salo,so i enjoyed a few beers in town,then took a tuk tuk home,that time they were new to town,we stopped to fuel at shell panafric and almost everyone there was looking at the tuk tuk and saying....'hi kitu ita gongwa ianguke na matatu'...nilifika salama...it was 3sok....to lavi...my folks diggz...from tao...in a brandy new...tuk..tuk

Ninajua Yote!

@ Ngwono please shed some more light on this seed and what it grew into...


Zama za Kengen IPO.... zama za mali

My first salo..... mmmmh!!!

I was paid half the salo coz i started working mid month!!! when i got my money,i bought a megarider to and from town.... I was staying with my auntie and used to cost share so i paid my share (2k), it was on a friday so that weekend i went and did my hair - in Kayole(of course i couldnt afford anywhere else!)... the prices had changed more than i estimated... so i was charged 200bob more... and this 200bob was supposed to be my savings for the month.... i had to borrow 20bob from a friend to get me home... and my whole salo was over! Kwisa kabisa! I was so miserable!!! Had to surve till 15th to get an advance.... by the way,are there companies that still give advance?

Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

first seed

Hehee,its always embarassing to remember..... I earned 6,000Ksh,a reasonable sum of cash back then..

I bought a radio(500bob) for my room,a pair of Jeans(300) and the rest...we went for a drinking spree/club hopping with a bunch of my 'tight' buddies. It was over Easter,and we started of on Thursday jioni...until Monday jioni. By Tuesday,i had only 500Ksh left! If my elder sister hadnt purchased a megarider for me at the beginning of that month....sijui kungeendaje! Strange thing is...i never lived to regret the drinking spree despite the tough times that followed. It was the best ever:))


Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't..

I offerd to God in church as thanksgiving

For me it’s not what I did with the money but how I got paid… had just joined a small audit firm,come end month all the guys were given envelopes except me… I was too scared to ask for my pay… around 3rd of the month when I was in the urinal,the partner walked in and saw me and said 'Ohh No,I have not paid you,tulisikizana ngapi??' When I told him the agreed figure he removed his wallet and paid me!!


Forgive your enemies but never forget their names…

@ zze eti you were paid inside the gents,you are not serious

I was earning 7500 in my second attacho.. (first one was free).. I have no idea where the money went.. i only remember taking this fly chic to many sartuday lunches..

Come to think of it,i cannot even remember anything apart from a bed+matress+some clothes that i bought in my 1st 8 months out of campus,despite a very well paying job then.
