What are the Best ways to save money to Become Rich?
1) Realize the need to save money and become rich
If you think that nobody can save money and grow rich, then you haven’t heard about Warren Buffet. He is considered a “Savings Billionaire”. As a financial advisor for my clients, I tell them that you can’t plunge into the muddy waters of investments without having backup savings plans. There are thousands of ways to save money, but there are few ways to save money and become rich.
If you think that saving money is just for poor people, calculate how much time you’ve been a working class person, then you check how much is currently in your account balance. Do the numbers tally?
If No, so who is really the poor person?
A lot of people forget the first rule of business, which is “Pay Yourself First”.
Majority of people spend before saving, which is actually a dangerous path to thread. It should be exactly the opposite. I will be explaining these in details in the next post.
Avoid the Banks
Did you hear that right? This is one of the simple ways to save money and grow rich. The banks offer you just
– Transaction
– And the Speculative function of money, leaving out the most important part of savings, which is precautionary.
Banks offer you just a token sum of 3.1% to save money (in a savings account untouched) while making monthly deductions that cancels out everything. You can deposit a certain amount in the morning, and withdraw all the same day in the evening. What is now the essence of saving?
The mistake working class people and business people make is trying to believe the banks love them, and this mentality should disappear after reading this post.
Lookout for forced longer-term investment plans
I pitched to a friend (see types of friends to avoid the need to start saving to grow rich in 2011, he complained about the length of time he has to keep his money (We had a plan of 6 years) and he declined the offer. He has worked for seven years with an account balance of just 250k, and maybe you should help calculate how much I saved up within such period (I already used my proceeds on an asset with other cash back to my savings).
I work in a financial house, and I have seen young people become millionaires just by carefully saving monthly for few years, while others who claim they wanted to invest ended up doing nothing.
Investment plans of 6years, and 9 years for young working-class people, newly wedded, and young mothers who are planning their children education should be critically considered.
Most of these investments plans actually come with a form of protection should in case the breadwinner of the family dies. This is why I recommend Insurance Company for your savings. In case you need more details, please contact me.
Have a Single Bank accounts and Multiple Investment accounts
Having a single bank account with multiple investment plans is one of the simple ways to save money and accumulate wealth for your family. Bank accounts expose you to spend more money, while investment plans encourage you to save up for a project.
A client of mine is a Bank Manager, he saves up money every 3 years just to get another piece of landed property – he doesn’t achieve all that with his bank. He patronizes several investment plans that our insurance firm has to offer because he knows exactly what he wants to achieve.
Draw Clear Goals
Having a clear goal of your financial future would help you make plans towards it. As at 2011, I already agreed that if I save 20k for 6 years, I would be a millionaire and invest in my dream business.
What I achieve in 6 years, someone else can achieve in just 3 years. I had smaller financial power, so I made my calculations based on what I could afford.
What are your financial goals, and how can savings help you achieve that? I survived the MMM scare because I had something I fell back to when the cards came crashing.
What is your Budget for the Month?
Working with a budget might be what you need to actually make your dreams come to pass. Back then I earned 50k monthly in Lagos, and I realized I had to force myself save 20k monthly (You can also do likewise, just speak to me.) It wasn’t easy, but I pulled through for 6 years. Even after I had a massive pay raise, I left the other as a residual income. It wasn’t much as compared to your imaginations, but others who had worked for the same 6years with such salary like me never had a million naira in their account after 6 years.
I currently have several assets and mind-blowing acct balances, but my spending will always remain frugal because I am just following the steps of Warren Buffet.
Just before you exit the post, always remember the tactics of the rich “Pay Yourself First before Spending”
February 20, 1978 African music legend and Afrobeat creator Fela Anikulapo Kuti married 27 women on the same day all of whom were his back up dancers.
History has it tha Fela was able to pull off the feat by putting out a notebook and asking any of the girls who were willing to marry him to write down their names and instantly 27 of them did.
And on February 20th, Fela called Ifa priests (reportedly 12) to join the wives in holy matrimony at the Parisona Hotel in Anthony, Lagos. A handful of the wives married against their parents consent but the wedding ceremony went on nonetheless.
The event was joined by band members, friends and family. Fela placed naira notes on their heads, offered a few words and dished around marriage certificates. He would then engage in a rotating system of having just 12 of them live with him at a particular time. When he first married, he had sex with one, then another, then another till the 27 were complete and then he took them all to Ghana for the honeymoon shortly after.
Another reason why the marriage held was to protect Fela, and his wives, from claims from authorities that Fela was kidnapping the women.
Wole Soyinka, Nobel laureate, says he should be examined by a psychiatrist if he joins the Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM) masterminded by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Obasanjo recommended the coalition in a letter he wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari in January.
The elder statement had asked Nigerians to rally round the movement, saying neither the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) nor the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) could give Nigeria the leadership it deserves.
But speaking in an interview with BBC Yoruba, Soyinka said the coalition is not meant for someone like him.
“Me? Obasanjo would establish a group and I will become a member of such group? That means they should get a psychiatrist to examine me,” Soyinka said.
He also spoke about the letters which Obasanjo and former military President Ibrahim Babangida addressed to Buhari.
Soyinka said people should get suspicious “when these soldiers speak” because there is the possibility that “what they have in mind is different from what we have in mind”.
The scholar said nonetheless, the content of the message should be examined even though the messengers are not trustworthy.
“When these soldiers begin to speak, we are supposed to get suspicious and ask what exactly do they have in mind? It is possible that what they have in mind is different from what we have in mind,” he said.
“You can look at it from two perspectives, the messenger and the message. The message should be examined closely. We should not look at the misdeeds of the messenger alone. Let’s start by asking, is he saying the truth or telling lies, or is he being tricky?
“If he is saying the truth and talking about things that are beneficial to the masses, we would allow that be. After that, we would now look at the person speaking, what is in his mind? … even if it’s a little child who is speaking, as far as that child is saying the truth, we won’t ask the child to keep quiet. We won’t ask the child what do you know? We would listen. It is the same situation with those who have presided over the affairs of this nation without making significant progress.
“We have seen their weaknesses, we have seen their unclothedness in public, if they now want to be covered by saying that they have turned a new leaf, we would examine that, too. What I am saying in essence is that what they have said should also be examined.”
He urged the youth to come together and present a candidate to represent them, adding that the older generation would support them.
“We have a lot of them. It is the turn of the younger ones. If they come together, as we speak, if they can start now and bring out one individual among them, we will work with him,” he said.
“We are going to give them the support they need to transform the country. People like us are supposed to sit somewhere.”
Facebook user has shared photos of a young couple who recently got engaged.

She shared the photos of the engagement and wrote;
