Which Is More For You; Residual Income Or Residual Expenses?

The essence of  every human endeavour is to make a living and by making a living, we all accrue bills/expenses that we need to tend to every month.

These bills most times become more than our income if we are not careful and because of that, we roll them over to the next month which eventually becomes a cycle.

So ask yourself this simple question; “is my monthly bills/expenses more than my monthly income”?

If they are, then this post was written for you.

That is the vicious circle so many 9-5 workers live with and it never occurs to them to do something about it mainly because that is how it has always been so they don’t see anything wrong with it, more also almost everyone around them do it too to get by.

To cover up on the bills, some take loans from bank, friends or family and make themselves belief they are living the life.

But deep within, they know fully well that whatever they are doing is just a quick fix to save their face, this also goes on and on till maybe a miracle happen which almost never happen.

Most live their life paying back debt accrued from recurring bills or loans.

This is not really the smart way to handle your finance and live life.

so what is the way out? thats a more interesting question

In my studies into life and personal development, I discovered that [Tweet “the most important question we should always ask ourselves is the ones that starts with “How””]

• How do I learn a new things
• How do make my life better
• How do increase my income ?
• How do I get myself out of this ?
• How do I move forward?
• How Did I get myself to this point ?
• How Do I get myself out of this situation ?

These questions goes on, but here is the good part about when you start asking questions with “How”; It simple means consciously or unconsciously, your brain is searching for solutions to the challenge you are facing. the question your brain should be asking right now is “how do I make my monthly income more than my recurring bills/expenses?

In Nigeria, Jobs are not readily available so you cannot take a second job and you barely have enough time for yourself after you close from your 9-5 job.

So the question really is “what can I do to increase my monthly income that will not take much of my time?”
