Growing up, adults gave us false hope about perks that come with being older. From finally getting two pieces of meat on your plate of food to wearing what you really want and staying out late without too much shalaye, were they really telling the truth or did adulthood just decide to plan a coup on all of us?
From what I’ve seen, navigating life as a grownup can be pretty complex. A lot of us are working jobs we don’t particularly like, or paying bills we are not even convinced we should be paying. Emphasis on the bills because that’s your number one opp as an adult…billings! It’s always a struggle trying to navigate the ones that pop out of the blue, such as units on your electricity meter that got exhausted, teeth filling that came as an emergency after a scheduled checkup with the dentist, or data exhaustion. Can we get an actual break?
Don’t get me wrong, adulthood can be exciting, but the cost of this excitement choke! For real, I always wonder if finance and fun can co-exist. One day, you’re with your friends on a night out, eating really good food or vibing to Asake, and the next morning you’re receiving debit alerts that make you question your life choices. Worst of all is going through these without a support system like friends, family, or even a sugar daddy, I’m joking o. Luckily for me, I found a true buddy. A digital bank that comes through and keeps me in check when adulthood feels like the ghetto. gomoney is that bank.
With my gomoney app, I budget properly by categorizing my bills, save like a pro and track the life out of my expenses. Because let’s face it, life is full of surprises, and I don’t like surprises that leave me broke or affect my mental health. To avoid them, I create a realistic list of what I want versus what I need, and I have a certain amount of my salary that goes into my savings every month. To avoid SAPA overall, I also track expenses at the end of every week to make sure I’m not living my best life carelessly with an account that ends up red. That won’t look good at all.
Basically, living and spending intentionally while you flex as a young adult is key. You need some form of structure that holds you accountable with funds, and my accountability partner is the gomoney app. So, as you handle the complexities of being an adult, make smart choices and remember, we gather dey! There are a million of us walking this path, and together, we can make adulthood fun.
