How do you view finance
I view finance as a very important piece of human existence. The need to survive which is embedded in every human brings about the thought and practice of finance in an essential term. I love finance so much that it pushed me to study accounting at the university.
It is a tool that is very helpful in planning one's life and enabling one to achieve their life's journey and goals. It helps one to take proper advantage of opportunities and stretches beyond just money matters. Being financially prudent means being able to make and take strategic impactful decisions.
Do you have all you need or are you facing financial difficulties? What are you not able to accomplish due to finance? Mention 3 of them
I doubt any human can boldly say "yes" to this question. There are a million things I want to accomplish but find myself unable to do so due to financial constraints. However, I'll focus on three since that is what was required.
Firstly, concerning my education. I always had plans to further my education abroad, my undergraduate degree, and then my master's. If I were able to go through with the plan, I would have been done with my bachelor's a long time and already begun advanced studies. But life had other plans for me. I haven't given up hope though, since I wasn't privileged to have my bachelor's, I intend to do my master's abroad. It would make it so much easier to settle down as well as cater to my family.
Secondly, home ownership. Owning a home is a significant achievement and milestone for me. It comes along with a feeling of stability, satisfaction, and sufficiency. The costs as well as the benefits inherent to real estate are increasing daily making it more difficult to invest in and, at the same time making it more lucrative to be in especially in Nigeria.
However, financial constraints have delayed me from beginning my journey to homeownership but hey, delay is not denial!
One other thing I would have loved to accomplish but couldn't do due to financial limitations is travel and exploration. I haven't been to any other country outside Nigeria and I even haven't fully explored Nigeria itself, my state to be precise.
Travel funds can add up quickly, from accommodation to transport to activities ...
What can you do to be able to wisely manage what you have in the meantime?
In the meantime, I manage the little I have by adopting a frugal lifestyle and budgeting. My bank application has helped me to minimize my expenses and save better. Although this isn't on its own very sufficient, I'm exploring and seeking other sources of income. The more, the better.
I also continually learn and improve my knowledge of data and accounting-related jobs to be able to freelance once in a while. Having a diversified portfolio in some crypto assets has also greatly helped.
Who do you run to for help in times of financial need?
As much as I tend to want to manage my affairs personally. I most times never ask for help if I know I can survive it on my own. However, whenever it gets really bad I go home to my parents. No one expects someone my age to have completely figured out his life anyway haha.
Thankfully, they always try their best to be there for me and for this, I'm greatly indebted to them.
WHO IS DOPPLEY
His goal on steemit is to make numerous connections with people and put out valuable articles for the steem community to consume and interact with. Basically to be like water, which slips through fingers but is still capable of holding up a ship.
He juggles many interests, writer, saxophonist, accountant, data scientist, trader, real estate agent, and some others at once but his passion keeps him steady.
