SOME OF THINGS YOU DO THAT JEOPARDIZE YOUR FUTURE

You lay the foundation for your future today. This means there might be certain things you do that might jeopardize your future and put you in big trouble.
Below are 5 things you do that jeopardize your future
1. NOT REVIEWING YOUR EXPENSES
You jeopardize your future when you don’t review your expenses. You should ensure you review your expenses at least once monthly. When you review your expenses periodically, you become more accountable and it also becomes easy for you to notice some bad spending habits.
2. SPENDING MONEY YOU DON’T HAVE
You put yourself in a rat race when you spend money you don’t have. Avoid using loans to buy things you don’t really need as your only get yourself in severe trouble. I advice people to stay away from loans except you are taking the loan for business purposes.
3. GAMBLING
Buying lottery tickets and placing bets are another easy way people jeopardize their future. Gambling might be fruitful now but it’s not a solid financial plan in the long run. Gambling always has a way of finally taking the little money you have and leaving you in huge debts.
4. LIVING ABOVE YOUR MEANS
Spending more than you earn is the fastest way of jeopardizing your future. Avoid living a fake live by being happy with what you have. Living below your means helps you secure your future.
5. NOT SAVING
You are joking with your future if you don’t have savings. It’s necessary you keep money aside each month for savings . Don’t spend money just because you have it. Saving for the rainy day is important as it helps you during emergencies.

We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
