MoneybyZikoko: He Grew His Income by 3000% in 10 Years

Vol 46 | 18-09-2023

Good morning, {$name}. 🌞

The subject of this week’s Naira Life has a lot of reverence for his dad’s relationship with money. Interestingly, they have slightly different approaches to financial management — his dad was huge on being low-key and holding on to money.

On the other hand, our guy thinks he’s better off if he makes himself “a channel through which money flows.”

Let’s find out what that really means.

The #NairaLife of a Partnership Manager Who Believes Money Is Meant to Be Spent

For the 32-year-old partnership manager in this #Nairalife, the key to financial growth isn’t saving but making oneself a channel through which money flows. He’s grown his earnings by almost 3000% in a decade, and now, he wants $5m/month.

Cohabiting in Lekki on a ₦90k Customer Rep Salary

Alexei* is a 26-year-old man with a partner who’s 15 years older and earns enough to spend Alexei’s salary in one night. In this interview, he shares the misconceptions about their relationship, the power dynamic and how he gets away with being poor through the power of gifting.

An excerpt: “Our dates are very sporadic. Sometimes, we go months without a single date; other times, we go six times a month. The minimum spend is ₦40k, which my partner covers.

Since I don’t pay for stuff, I put a lot of thought into the gifts I give them. For Valentine’s Day in 2021, I commissioned four paintings with special notes behind each of them, which cost about ₦40k in total. That year, I also got them a nice senator material that cost ₦50k and a blue watch — because they love wristwatches but don’t have one in that colour — for about ₦70k. Even though they literally have everything they want, getting gifts that show I’m thinking of them is how I get away with being poor. ”
