🙋🏻♀️ *Top 10 Takeaways from the Must-Read Book:*
"𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐒𝐘𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘"
𝐁𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐥
𝟏𝟎 𝐊𝐄𝐘 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒:
1️⃣ 0𝟏. 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 - 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥!
𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Wealth isn’t just about the numbers; it's about freedom, peace of mind 🧘🏻♀️, and the ability to control your time . True wealth is often invisible - it’s the income not spent, the luxury not flaunted 💃🏻.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: A middle-class individual 🧔🏻♂ who saves consistently and avoids lifestyle inflation can enjoy more flexibility than a high-earning executive living paycheck-to-paycheck .
2️⃣ 0𝟐. 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞!
𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Compounding 😵💫 works best over decades. Financial success requires patience and consistency, not just high returns.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: Warren Buffett started investing at 10 and kept at it for over 80 years - this time horizon made him one of the richest people in the world .
3️⃣ 0𝟑. 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 🧗🏻♀️ 𝐈𝐬 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 - 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐈𝐭!
𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Every financial decision involves risk . What matters is managing that risk thoughtfully , not avoiding it entirely. Emotions like fear can cloud judgment.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: A cautious business that preserved cash during COVID was more likely to survive than one that over-leveraged expecting constant growth .
4️⃣ 0𝟒. 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡!
𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Greed makes us chase returns without understanding consequences; fear keeps us from taking reasonable risks. Balancing the two is crucial for long-term wealth.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: Many investors bought overvalued stocks out of greed and panic-sold during downturns out of fear - both extremes cost them wealth.
5️⃣ 0𝟓. 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐈𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬!
𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Money can make life easier, but it doesn’t make it fulfilling. Relationships , autonomy, and purpose are stronger predictors of happiness.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: Studies show people are happiest when they have meaningful relationships - not necessarily when they reach income milestones.
6️⃣ 0𝟔. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐈𝐬 𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 - 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲!
𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: What you value today may not be what you value in 10 or 20 years. Plan with room for evolution.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: Someone saving aggressively for early retirement might later choose to work longer in a purpose-driven role. Your plan must be adjustable.
7️⃣ 0𝟕. 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 - 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐖𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞!
𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Success isn’t always about effort or intelligence . It’s often about timing, environment, or chance encounters. Similarly, failures can result from bad luck despite smart planning .
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: Bill Gates had early access to a computer at school - an extremely rare opportunity in the 1960s. His peer , equally capable, never got that chance.
8️⃣ 0𝟖. 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐟𝐭 - 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐲 𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝!
𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Saving should not be a leftover. It must be a deliberate act that comes before expenses. This builds resilience.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: An individual who sets aside savings as an automated deduction builds financial security without relying on willpower each month .
9️⃣ 0𝟗. 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐈𝐬 𝐚 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 💪🏻!
𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The discipline 🤹🏻♀️ to spend less than you earn unlocks flexibility, reduces stress , and allows wealth to accumulate quietly in the background.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: Those with simple lifestyles and strong savings can make life decisions—like career changes—without fear of financial instability.
𝟏𝟎. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬!
𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The financial world is constantly changing. Staying curious, reading broadly, and avoiding overconfidence are key to staying relevant and successful.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: Investors who adapted to digital trends or environmental shifts in the market had a major advantage over those who clung to outdated strategies.
𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐒 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃:
0𝟏. 𝐄𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡:
Understanding what “enough” means is essential to avoid overreaching and risking what you already have for what you don’t need. Housel borrows from philosophy and Stoicism to introduce the idea that happiness and security come from knowing when to stop chasing more.
*“Enough is not too little. Enough is realizing that the opposite - an insatiable appetite for more - will push you to the point of regret.”*
0𝟐. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠:
Compounding isn't intuitive for most people, which is why they underestimate its power 💪🏻. The real magic of wealth happens over time, not overnight.
Warren Buffett's net worth was ~$81 billion when he was 65 - having started at 10. That’s the compounding curve in action.
0𝟑. 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐏𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭, 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭:
Save defensively for unexpected setbacks, but invest believing in long-term progress .
Build a margin of safety but also trust that innovation, growth , and recovery are part of the human story.
0𝟒. 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠:
Extreme events (positive or negative) have disproportionate impact. In investing, a handful of good decisions or lucky breaks can define a lifetime outcome.
Bezos built Amazon, but it’s AWS and Prime that became the ‘tail events’ driving its true growth.
0𝟓. 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐱:
Wealth flaunted rarely wins respect. *People admire the car, not the driver.* Real status comes from humility and freedom, not luxury branding.
0𝟔. 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐀𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞:
Everyone has different goals , timelines, and risk tolerance. What works for others might not work for you 🫵🏻. Avoid copying strategies blindly.
0𝟕. 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫:
A little 🤏🏻 margin of safety in decisions—be it financial, emotional, or career-related - can make the difference between survival and collapse.

China has just completed the longest underwater road way . It is the longest in the world .

Ladies, let’s be real, you need to learn how to talk. No man or serious person will tolerate rudeness, insults, or pride for long. You may have the looks, the body, or even the brains, but if your character is bad, it will chase away good opportunities and people.
Learn how to speak with respect, even when you’re upset. Learn how to communicate without shouting or throwing insults. Nobody wants to be in a relationship where they’re constantly disrespected. You keep saying men are scum, but sometimes, it’s not them, it's how you talk. You can’t be talking down on people and expect love in return.
Don’t let your mouth and attitude destroy what your beauty has built. Bad character can close doors faster than a bad CV. So, my dear gender, if you truly want to keep a man, grow in self-control, communication, and humility. The world will treat you better when you treat people better.

How can a man get a woman pregnant, disappear into thin air, and leave her to carry the weight of pregnancy, childbirth, and raising a child alone, only to resurface years later claiming to be the father? That’s not fatherhood, that’s cruelty and injustice.
You weren’t there when her feet were swollen, you didn’t hear her cry herself to sleep, you didn’t buy diapers, pay hospital bills, or calm the baby at 3 a.m, but now the child is growing fine, you suddenly remember you’re the “father”? Let’s be honest; if you’re not ready to take responsibility, keep your manhood to yourself. Don’t ruin a woman’s life with your carelessness and cowardice.
Ladies, know your worth. And to every man out there, fatherhood is more than biology, it’s about being present, committed, and responsible. Don’t show up only when it’s convenient. That child deserved a father from day one, not a visitor in year five.

“She Slapped Me in Front of the Whole School Because I Couldn’t Pay My Fees.”
15 Years Later, I Sponsored Her Retirement — And Paid Her Salary for Life.
She humiliated me.
Called me “a charity case.”
Told me I’d never make it without my father’s name.
But pain doesn’t always break you.
Sometimes, it builds an empire with your name on the gate.
From Broke Student to Multimillionaire — What He Did for the Teacher Who Once Publicly Shamed Him Left Everyone in Shock
Written by Rosyworld CRN
2008. Anambra, Nigeria.
I owed ₦2,700 in school fees.
My mother had sold all her jewelry.
My uncle had stopped answering calls.
One day during morning assembly, the principal announced:
> “All students owing school fees — come forward!”
We did.
Then Mrs. Obasi, our economics teacher, pointed at me and shouted:
> “Chijioke! You again? Third term, still owing?!
What kind of poverty runs in your blood?”
Before I could respond —
She slapped me.
In front of everyone.
I stood there — broken.
Laughed at. Shamed.
That evening, I told my mother I wanted to drop out.
She said:
> “No. Even if I die, you must finish.”
She started cleaning people’s compounds secretly to pay the fees.
I passed.
Graduated.
Hustled.
I sold recharge cards.
Managed social media for businesses.
Taught myself code from a borrowed phone.
In 2020, I launched a fintech app.
It grew fast.
By 2023, I was worth more than ₦400 million.
Then one day, I saw a GoFundMe post:
“Please help. Retired teacher needs funds for eye surgery and basic needs.”
It was Mrs. Obasi.
People were commenting.
Donating ₦1k, ₦2k…
I said nothing.
But I booked a flight.
One week later… I knocked on her rusty gate.
She opened it — frail, older, shocked.
> “Do you remember me?” I asked.
She squinted.
> “You’re… Chijioke? Oh my God. My son, I’m so sorry for how I treated you.”
I nodded.
Then I handed her an envelope.
Inside:
Full payment for her surgery
₦5 million cheque
A letter stating I would pay her ₦100k monthly for life.
She collapsed.
Neighbours gathered.
I said:
> “You beat me when I was poor.
Now, let me bless you because I’m rich.”
Today, I call it Healing with Honour.
Because not every wound needs revenge.
Some need a reminder that grace speaks louder than shame.
From slapped… to celebrated.
From “charity case”… to cheerful giver.
From insulted boy… to investor in dignity.

Zenith Bank's CEO, Adaora Umeoji, spent about N3.3 billion to purchase 68.8 million units of Zenith Bank, according to the bank's disclosure today on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
Before her recent investment, she owned about 90.2 million shares of Zenith Bank, with an additional 1.7 million indirect units, all worth N4.32 billion.
For Adaora, this move is more than an investment; it is a vote in the future of the bank that she leads as the CEO, a bank that she joined as a corper in 1998.
She was the highest-paid employee in the Nigerian banking industry for the year 2024.
She earned N874 million in 2024. So, she makes money from both ways in Zenith Bank, her income from the salary the bank pays her and her dividend earnings from her investment and the shares she has in the bank.
A reminder that you can be a billionaire and your life can change buying gada shares

FG Announces Evacuation Plans for Citizens Trapped in Israel, Iran but Offers No Timeline
The Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it is finalising arrangements for the emergency evacuation of stranded Nigerians in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the State of Israel following the escalation crisis between these countries.
This comes four days after FIJ reported that Nigeria was silent as both countries exchange missiles despite other countries moving quickly to evacuate citizens.
In a statement issued on Wednesday and signed by Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, spokesperson for the Ministry, the government said it had instructed all affected Nigerians to contact the nearest Nigerian Embassy for registration and further instructions.
The Ministry also commended its missions in Tel Aviv and Tehran “for their dedication and commitment to reaching out to the Nigerian community at this difficult time”.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria remains committed to the safety and welfare of all its citizens both at home and abroad and is working in close coordination with relevant international partners and local authorities,” the statement reads.
Although no timeline has been given for when the evacuations will begin, the government said updates would be provided through official channels.
The Ministry also reiterated its call for the “immediate cessation of hostilities” and urged parties involved in the conflict to “respect international humanitarian law and prioritize the protection of civilians”.
At press time, the exact number of Nigerians in need of evacuation remains unclear.
