bwenyenye wrote:So is Kisia is doing us a favour afterall but we instead choose to call him names?... well just asking. Maybe if we can 'all' be pushed back to where we really belong as @Newfarer is suggesting, we may actually gain more than lose... We may just stop living for the cameras...
No I did not just say that!! One way to beat Kisia is by parking in places where they dont charge the fee. Overheard one dude how he does it. He drives all the to KNH leaves the car at their parking for the day.Only pay 20 bob to town and 30 bob back. Save 250 parking fee and fuel on the jam as well wear and tear. Accept no one's definition of your life; define your life.

Ati you thought it was what??? Jesu!!!! @Wazua, we need an intelligent word editor ya kusaidia watu. These instances are increasing at an increasing rate. For instance, let it ask; Heralds - This word does not make sense in your sentence. Did you mean Errands?Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

My new year resolution is not to work more than 8hrs a day, from my analysis I've noticed that I don't earn a dime from the other hours. So far I'm seeing results, I'm not artificially stressed. I've also stopped chasing debtors who are hiding from me and now they are bringing their *sses to me. Btw I'm also guilty coz I have a big car which consumes a lot but I'm unable to sell coz I cannot get the value. But sina loan. sell the stupid guzzler at whatever cost, consider the mantainance cost rather than the capital cost. i want to believe that u use it for short distances where u dont need the big engines and high power.

I know i may not manage to dispose off my car for now (but its small but helpful when need be - my reasoning is, i work so hard.... seriously i can do with a little luxury... life is not all about saving and amassing wealth... enjoy it.. if the convenience of a car is part of the enjoying, do it gracefully without any guilt.... after all, where is kirima now??? once in a while, pamper yourself.... if i am going to afford the car, i will for sure have one and not feel guilty about it..... however small or big it is as long as other important things in life are under control... but thats me) but I am seriously thinking of the bold part! Feels like some sense just popped up!

Feels like some sense just popped up! Wendz, I see you share my sentiments  . I knew of an old who died leaving millions of shillings behind. He never enjoyed his wealth..... he had patches on his trousers and had only 1 pair of shoe, repaired severally. His sons are still fighting in court for his wealth... A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man

But am glad am not alone.... its like scrapping a holiday coz you have to save and save.... some of these little luxuries are worth all the effort you put in... holiday doesnt mean you spend an arm and a leg, no... even a weekend out to some a camp site is good enough.... just what you can afford to make your life better.... as long as other basic things are in place, you have a decent shelter, children are in good school (depending on whatever standards you decide to give them), mama amevaa, bwana ameshiba, you have some investments for a rainy day...... once you meet your basics, then put aside something to treat yourself... then you can love yourself just a bit.... You need something to motivate you to work even harder...... like maintaining some better life than you had the previous year... in whichever small way we can. We dont have to all be equal.... but if the car becomes a burden and is affecting the most important things in life like affordability of school or maintaining your home, get rid of it quick!
