MoneybyZikoko: She Plans to Grow Her Liquid Assets to ₦100m by 2027

Volume 102

Brought to you by

Good morning ☀️

Let me start this newsletter with something you already know: every move and decision we make with money is geared toward understanding at least three goals: how to make money, how to spend money, and how to grow money.

To be honest, we’re all trying our best here. After all, financial skill is a muscle to build for your entire life. But sometimes, you meet someone, and you can’t help but think, “Yes, this person might be on to something.”

That’s what I thought while reading an early draft of this week’s Nairalife.
The subject had some teething challenges with making [decent] money early in her career. But once she settled into a routine of an income that worked, she focused on the next thing: growing her wealth. She’s learned one or two things while at it and was kind enough to share them.

In this letter:
