Hello, wonderful people of the #hivenaija community! It’s another week for writing, and I hope everyone is doing well.
Having your own money is a source of satisfaction, and buying things for yourself can really enhance your self-esteem.
I’ve been able to purchase a few items for myself, and I hope to get even more valuable ones in the near future.
At the moment, my most expensive possessions include my washing machine, generator, and phone. After I finished secondary school, I started working to save money to support myself through university since I wasn’t born with a silver spoon.
I acquired my generator after serving as a manager at a filling station. I saved my tips along with my salary until I could afford it.
This generator has proven to be very useful, especially during power outages. I refuel it and use it when necessary. It also provided some income, as people would rent it for their events. However, I stopped renting it out because no one looks after your valuable items like you do. I was excited to be able to buy it, and later I bought other important items.
I’ve never regretted my decision to purchase the generator; it has served its purpose well.
Washing clothes used to feel like a burden because I would leave early and come home late, feeling drained.
So, what was my next move? I decided to buy a washing machine. When I mentioned it to my girlfriend, she laughed and said I didn’t need one. But I didn’t let that stop me. I saved up and got myself a washing machine, and it has been a real help.
No matter how big or small your goal is, you can achieve it with determination. Owning something you’ve worked for is a rewarding experience.
The next item I bought was my phone. The one I purchased a few years ago began to have issues after 3-4 years. When I took it to a repair shop, they told me it was the battery. After paying for a replacement, I found out that they had used an old battery that was even worse than the original. I had to return, and although they replaced it again, it still didn’t work properly.
Tired of dealing with this, I decided to buy a new Infinix phone last year August. I prefer Infinix phones because they can last 3-5 years if handled well, even though the warranty is only for one year.
These are the top three valuable items I’ve managed to acquire so far. I look forward to better days when I can buy everything I want.
It’s important to invest in quality items instead of wasting money on those that don’t last. While saving up, remember to take care of yourself. Eat well and don’t neglect your health because it is wealth. Where there’s life, there’s hope.
