The one salary man

There is money all over the world, yet the word broke is used all over. We could argue that it's greed of those with lot, we could argue the poor man is lazy, we could argue some are born into fortune and some are not. So many arguments but regardless, people are struggling financially.

The one salary man used to be the dream of everyone in the past. Good education, good paying job then buy a house, marry, have a wonderful family. All this needed money to do and the one salary man had enough. The one salary man today is on average poor or hustling to keep himself and his family ok. What changed? You would quickly point your finger to the devil called inflation.

And yes, that old devil has a hand in this but who created the demon? Was it ourselves or the government? Blame whoever you want to, but the sad reality is the one salary man is still struggling whether we know who did it or not.

At least the one salary man can rely on his salary? But is it really reliable? He calls the bank and they say to him they have not seen his deposit from his company. It only takes one boss to get into the bank and mess it up for that one salary man that is waiting for his money desperately.

All he can do is wait for the next money transfer from the bank. He wants to buy a new battery for his car, but the price of batteries went up again last week. At least he has a car, you would say.

He is not rich but why does someone else get to decide if his kids can eat meat this month? The cost of electricity is too high. He has an idea for a small business and he still has not even started it.

To survive, he needs a lot more than just a desk at the office, or promotion at work. For many people, when a boss says no to something, all momentum stops for them.
This is why it's better for him to start building his own side business now than to wait until he has the approval or support of his employer or anyone else. I think a lot of people investing in the stock market would rather invest in an asset class than learn a skill, Wall Street and Silicon Valley are good examples of this.

So many of the people in Ghana and Nigeria only have a job and will only receive one paycheck from their employer every month, this creates a lot of risk. One source of income is a trap in your life.
