Financial Planning: Effective Antibiotic for your psychological health by Oyedamola Taiwo

Depression is a rampant epidemic that has established its root in our society unnoticed. We have heard of suicidal attempts and eventual executions. Many have been in a bad mood at one point or another and were able to walk through it because they found a solution, that’s the lucky group! We have some other set of people who relished in their horrible conditions till it aggravated into a mental disorder that ultimately suggests the suicide option. There are many causes of depression but all are primarily linked to a need-gap left unfilled; the need for self-actualization, the need for success, love, acceptance and so many others.

Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul is literally one of the oldest fraud tricks in the book, and it’s alarming that people still fall prey to schemes such as this especially in the wake of one such dubious schemes that has invested participants looming on the precipice of disaster. These schemes are no new trend in the Nigerian environment but it’s still alarming how people fall for them, it would have been funny if it wasn’t a matter of such serious concern, space a couple of years between these things and the story remains the same, people rush, invest their money and inevitably a sizeable number of them got swindled.

The 80/20 rule: Apply it to your finances and change your life, by Olamide Oseni.

A couple of hundred years back, an Italian economist by the name of Vilfredo Pareto discovered something really really interesting that was going to change how we understand the world. He discovered that he could measure the relationship between cause and effect precisely in mathematical terms (80/20). I know that probably sounds a bit mystifying and confusing, it was for me too, so to break it down further what he discovered was that 80% of results come from 20% of efforts. You are probably as shocked about this and if you are honest a bit doubting too. What this means for you is that: - 80% of the money you make comes from 20% of the time and effort you put in. - 80% of your products are the ones bringing in 20% of the money you make. - 80% of your customers bring in 20% of your income.
