Being broke can be stressful, but it’s worse when you’re broke and crave many things. Whether online or in real life, if you’ve tried shopping while broke before, this is definitely the story of your life.

When you receive your salary and start feeling like Dangote

One credit alert and you feel like you can buy the national stadium. It’s a really good feeling, to be honest.

Then you realise how small it really is

You withdraw just N1,000 for airtime, pay a few other bills, and suddenly, half your salary is gone. This is the point where you start to feel like Burna Boy’s “Common person”.

But you still have your cart to clear

Being the compulsive shopper that you are, your cart is giving luxury. The only problem is that your bank account isn’t agreeing with your cart.

So you have to ration what you buy

You start to run the numbers and it becomes clearer and clearer that brokenness is assured for the month. But then, you realize that sapa is temporary, but drip is eternal. So you buy two dresses off your cart to satisfy your itch.

Or you just buy everything you can and go broke again

Sometimes, you just have to look at the money in your account and say to yourself “If I perish, I perish”. You’ll most likely ‘perish’ but at least you got everything you wanted.

Then sapa hits and you start to rethink your life choices

This is the point where your money-management talent miraculously shows up. Not two weeks ago when you were scrolling through an Instagram vendor’s page looking for what to buy. 

The next month comes, and then you have to start thinking about your finances all over again. But it doesn’t have to be like this if you use Brassmoney.
