@rainbowdash4l is hosting a game in the comments you can win some DUO !
Today, I had to pay the electric bill, even though we have not seen a sign of electricity nearly over 2 months. The water supply stopped, and the rent needs to be paid soon too. Plus, I must pay for my four kids' school. All these bills came at the same time.
If you're a dad, you get it. When every bill hits at once, your heart sinks. You got that huge electric bill, then no water, and the school fees are due. Bills just keep coming, one right after another.
As a dad of five, with four still in school, I'm used to this endless bill cycle. I don't like it much. Each time it takes a hit on what we can save. Each month feels like a new dance. Just when you get good at it, it all changes.
School fees are the worst. You just handle one, and the next is there. And it's not just the fees, books, clothes, sports gear add up. Doing this for four kids is tough. It's hard on money now, but it's for their future.
You'd think paying regular bills would be easy. But no, they pile up too. The electric bill shows up, then the water bill right after. They both crush your budget. Hearing from the utilities guy feels like doom, especially when you just paid the school fees.
And then, the TV subscription ended right during soccer season. Life has a weird way of testing you. Dads need those Saturday games; they give us a little break from the hard week. And here we are, sorting another bill.
It's a strange stress. It keeps you up, turning numbers over in your head. You become a walking calculator. Bills keep coming non-stop, pushing our skills to the limit.
At night, when it's quiet and everyone's asleep, I ask myself and wonder how our fathers managed. Did they feel this weight too? Did they ever worry like I do now, when bills pile up quick?
But with all this comes a kind of honor, to pay these bills, keep things stable, and invest in our kids' futures. Each bill paid builds their future a bit more, showing a dad's promise to give them a better start.
Sometimes the weight of it all hits hard. It's not just about money; it's feeling the heat of everyone's hopes on you. Everything, from the kids' school fees to relaxing weekends—depends on getting those bills right.
Yet, we make it work. We stretch our funds, skip our own treats, or find clever ways to save. We do it because that's what dads do.
Dads carrying this load, know you're not alone. Each bill you tackle shows your love, every cutback shows your care. Whenever you're up late, planning spending, remember, many dads are up doing the same.
So, I hope God lends a hand to all good dads out there, especially now. Though bills won't stop coming, neither will our drive to do it for our family. Bill by bill, we build something strong for our kids.
And remember, every bill paid, every deadline made, every mess avoided is a small win in the big fight that is family life. So to all you dads fighting the bill battle silently, you're doing better than you think.

It honestly must be a struggle. From all the good stuff you do and write about to this, it's a big jump. This honestly makes me think how you're getting by.
It's so different from here. You should check the possibility to go to Denmark with you and your family. Like, for real I think you would find everything very, very easy to accomplish. Maybe except opening your own shop, that's probably a bit harder here 😅
Going to Denmark with family will be a great thing to a person living in Africa, however it will be good to know if there a free visa scheme or something like that for people to apply for.
I remember those times very well. One time we had nothing to eat and could only buy something for my little daughter. Other times we had just cheap Maggi soups for dinner. That was very hard times and I did swear to me that this will never happen again. It took a long time to pay all debts. It took time to learn how to manage my money. It took time to learn how to invest. Overall it was many years and I was often depressed and sought advice in alcohol but I kept going. Today I have no debts and avoid debts under all circumstances. I invested in many different things like crypto and also classic investments. My money management had several buffer so I always have enough money to pay some random bills or a car repair.
You will make your way!
You need to be patient and strong and you need a long breath.
