Hi guyyysss……. I came across the post by @leogrowth Which challenged me to write on "finance". I wasn’t really sure it was a topic I was up for but then I decided to get right to it so here you have it!..... ALL ABOUT FINANCE!
Finance is a topic I consider rather fragile, both in theory an especially in practical.
At a younger age, I never really paid attention to finance probably because I never needed to make effort to get one. My parents, aunts and uncles gave me pocket money sometimes which I spend getting biscuits or they simply just by the biscuits for me. Either ways, I'm satisfied.
Several years down the line, I got older and things weren’t as rosy in the family as it used to. After expecting so much but getting very little, I decided it was time to take active part in the finance world if I was going to keep up.
I had zero skill and zero resources. I thought hard about ways to raise funds which led me to venture into quite a number of things like I mentioned in my “Jack of all Trade” series.
I cant remember which of the things I started first to raise money. There are a lot that I don’t get to remember all some times. I started cleaning service. Thankfully, my mum taught me well so it was kinds like my default skill. I helped people who needed to move into new apartments to clean up. I also started blogging. I kept making anylysis of the funds that would flow in and when they would at different times. I became an affiliate marketer, an after school teacher, a zobo drink maker, a fashion designer, a freelancer (content writing and web designing), a sales rep etc. Like I said, the list is a long one.
In participating in all these activities, I realized that the world of finance is definetley not a child’s play.
Somewhere along the line, I decided to make investments. I was introduced into forex trading by a friend who provided basically all the courses I needed. I got the necessary Apps including the MT4 and MT5 trading apps. I opened up a demo account and started practicing to read charts and place treades.

I didn’t have the money to invest while I was learning. The only hope I had was what my friend told me. He said there was an opportunity available for me where I would be given funds to trade with for a start until I had gotten enough profit to pay back at a given timeframe of course.
Do you know that after learning and practicing for several weeks, this friend of mine told me the package was no longer available?! Oh how sad I was!
I could have easily used my money to continue but I barely had enough to take care of my daily needs, talk more of an extra change to invest.
That experience didn’t stop me though. I always kept up with online research, looking out for finance opportunities everywhere and anywhere.
The world of finance have changed so much these past few years. A lot of people now actively take part in cryptocurrency and blockchain. Some others however still find it difficult to understand. I'm not sure where I stand right now but I know for sure that I'm growing.

Hive has inspired and opened my eyes to a lot of things. The quality leofinance articles I get to read as regards finances, cryptocurrency, blokchain, trading and so on is just amazing!
I'm not as Naïve as I used to be and I have all the opportunity to keep learning every day.
The way I see it, finance, savings, investments requires wisdom and alittle bit of mastery to keep up to standard.
I still have a long way to go and I'm looking forward to what my future finance world holds for me.😉😉
So, there you have it!
Thanks so much for reading through! 😘
See you in the next post! 🤗

Yes I agree with this statement, something new out there everyday...
Exactly. New Updates everyday. If one doesn't keep up. You'll be left several miles behind. It's almost as if you're back to ground zero.
Sometimes, I wish it can just slow down for people like us to catch up first😂😂😂
This so thoughtful of you. I see your zeal. Most mistake in our lives are cumulative negative effects of parents and older ones. Sometimes we are not channeled on the financial pathway of life
Yes that's true but with time one learns creative ways to survive.
We learn eventually... In our own way of course.
I like how you write and being a Nigerian struggling to survive, you have no other choice but to be a "Jack of all trades". You do honest work and that's what matters most.
Wow!... Your comment made me smile.
Thanks so much! @young-boss-karin

Just like learning is limitless. Financial means also has no limit. It's good that you grounded yourself in learning so much at an early stage.
Yes and learning has been really helpful. Prepares me for whatever comes next.
Good to hear that? Just keep on the good work.
That's the plan😊

Crypto will keep on liberating more and more people when it cokes to how we see finance and currency.
