I never thought of how unnecessary spending could ruin my life until 2025 hit me like a motorcycle in motion, this has left me with some wounds still on treatment which will soon heal.

Last year wasn't bad, I stood up this year feeling like I have some set achievements, I was still struggling with how I spend my money, I couldn't keep track of it, just on random stuffs that were not necessary, this year I have realise that the is a difference between working for, and creating value which in return brings money.

So with the big boy vibes I kept spending on things I need and the ones I want, I had already made plans to go for a very good skill this year, so without waiting for the right time, I made the move to seeking enquiry for a tech skills, but the amount was too much for me to afford, I went for a conventional skill, which is shoe making.

At first I wasn't sure of what I wanted but for sure I needed to get something so I did some research about the shoe industry and surprisingly it wasn't a bad skill.
After I registered, I knew being an apprentice wasn't going to be easy, going out every day to workshop and at the same time working to make ends meets, this thoughts were always at the back of my mind but I didn't create an alignment to it, I kept spending the money I had because I was new to the system, I was just buying food and snacks everyday but it got to the point I realized I was empty, like I had nothing on me again.
It happened that I became broke and started

managing any little thing that came my way, being an apprentice was never what I thought it was, it drained me so fast to the extent of teaching me minimalism.
I now spend on things really necessary, no more buying junks, I create time to learn on my own, I now calculate my spendings for the week.

Although not everyone can relate with my experience so far this year but I've seen improvement and my experience doesn't make me less courageous or depressed, staying out of bad conditions demands intentionality and that's just what I'm doing at the moment, while waiting and hoping for a greater tomorrow I'm at the moment mindful of our I manage my resources.
