IS IT REALLY NECESSARY?

Good Morning my Blue-bloods,

What a bright and sunny morning it is here, makes me look forward to how the rest of the day will turn out. Hoping to get a lot done today...With that being said, here's my aristocratic message to you this morning...

Yesterday, I was to seal a deal...(ok, before you start thinking ad contracts etc., not like I am not open to those, email me about any offers, lol!)  and then I got talking with some friends...I needed to get something but there was an even better option. I had actually settled for the cheaper option because that was what I could afford at the time but then one of them said it was better for me to get the more expensive, better-features version. It was tempting, but that would mean that I have to add extra funds and dig a deeper hole into my savings, which I was not ready to do. So this was what I started thinking, I have two options:
1. I get the more expensive option and then some months later, it would become obsolete but the damage would have been done to my savings or
2. I get the cheaper option and save myself the financial discomfort. I chose the second option cos that was more logical to me and like I have stressed, that's what I could afford.

Here's my point in all of this, sometimes we are faced with many decisions especially with our finances and with the way the world is moving, it's hard to keep up, new things become obsolete very fast, almost immediately. Most of us get caught up in trying to keep up the pace, that we end up going bankrupt and if we do sit down to count the cost or take account of what we actually spent the money on, it was not for something we really needed at the time. Have you ever had that feeling where you pine for something so much, you eventually get it and then after about 5 minutes of satisfaction, you are like "so, this is it? this is what it's all about? why did I waste my time?...bla...bla...black sheep." We really have to get a grip on how we spend, if we have to, and focus on investing in things that would yield good returns.

An Aristocrat prefers to invest his/her money in what may make him lose some comfort today but would make him ride in style in the future. It's not blue-blooded to invest in something that would make you appear comfortable now but poor and stupid sooner or later. Be kobo wise and naira wiser...
What do you think?

Remember, it's all about the attitude...
