Good morning, {$name}. 🌞
Our guy today is 25 years old today and doesn’t mind instantly switching to the next thing to make money. It’s not been all peachy, though. He’s had to start over multiple times. Hell, he’s even been unemployed. Fortunately, that’s all in the past.
I found something else exciting and familiar in his story. His growth has been incremental, but at least two life-changing events that put him on a solid trajectory came from his relationships.
Information resides in people, after all.

#NairaLife: This Product Designer Has Gone From Broke Co-Founder to Earning ₦820k/Month
The 25-year-old product designer in this #NairaLife has done almost every job in tech: website design, digital marketing, social media management, and more. He has also freelanced, been unemployed and even co-founded a startup before finally landing a stable product design job. But he’s just there for as long as it’s profitable.
The thing is, he’ll do anything legal to make money.

The Dating Life of an Undergraduate on a ₦160k+ Monthly Allowance
Bella* is living the baby girl life, with no job, heavy bills or need for savings. She talks about meeting her two current boyfriends on Instagram and having her parents as her safety net.
An excerpt: “Buying things make me happy — clothes, shoes, food. I’ve spent ₦33k on two dresses in the last two weeks. Like now, I want to change my phone, and I have about ₦250k, but if I use it, I’d have to survive on garri till like February. My boyfriend promised to send me money for a new phone, so I’ll just wait.
