Shiny piece of clad

 MONEY FEARS

 I was walking home from school with a group of friends. We came across a shiny piece of metal and we we're over the moon, well for a few seconds until we started fighting over it. It is getting better right. Keep up with me. No one wanted to loose so for the quiet ones like me we decided to take a step back and watch the whole melodrama. I mean we were 7 what could be coursing such a field. It was a 20 shillings  shiny new coin. I really had to emphasis on the shiny part😂😂😂.

 Its is really interesting how such a piece of coin can make 7 year olds fight each other. What is so special about it? We'll agree that having 20 shillings was such a great deal then. Doesn't that reflect our relationship with money. The fight within us each day on how we're going to spend that last coin.Well this subject plays in our minds each and every day. We are pretty guarded about it. We don,t talk about our money issues even with our closest friends.

Meet Kessy, 22 years  born in a normal family, when i say normal, i mean common African home. You can only afford basic needs. Nice right i mean what should i worry about. I got thee basic needs in life. I am fully grown, finishing campus and with a broke ass self. forgive me i am little bit pissed , well i don't who but maybe myself. Lemme tell you my money story. Let me tell you about that piece of shiny clad.

I was told to go to school, work hard, get a job and you know be stable in life. That's a direct approach to life and very simple right.That is what i have been holding on dearly and it shaped my thinking about money. I haven't touched on religious aspects. I always feel like i'm fighting with money, where do we get money? Is it academics, what i'm i so scared of...being broke and turning out like my parents(no offence mum and dad i love you guys you did your best). Well that is my # money stories# money fears episode 1.

I am scared of being broke, i am scared that the formula they gave me to be wealthy isn't going to work. I am scared that at the age of 22, i haven't figured it out. I am scared that i might not find this shiny piece of clad. Is it working hard, trust me, i do work hard but well it's not working. This is my #fear no 1. We all have money fears embedded in deep trenches of our soul. Do they affect how we handle finances? See you on the next episode and see how our money fears affect us.
