I just turned 26 the other day. I have been out of campus for two years and looking back... i have no car.....no thingira at home.....no business.....no plot despite earning the average Nairobi salary. I don't do booze or spend a lot on women, save for few special occasions! Am i lagging behind too much? What should a person have achieved at age 26? Enjoy every moment of your life, you never know when your time will come.

Don't let anyone put pressure on you. At 30 I was in the same level you are in today. I spent all my money educating my siblings to ensure everyone went to high school and some college. I didn't have even a plot though I had been employed for more than 6 years. My advise is try as much as possible to live below your means and save money. Put it in shares however little, put some in small plots where you can, start a side business and build a brand name around the services or products you will be selling and focus on that long term. Brands are like children..... When they are 20 years old, they get a life of their own and from 25 years of age, a brand is too strong it will take care of your and your children from there. At 46 after 20 years you will be worth much more than 46 million.

Vanity, all lies. It becomes pathetic when you measure your networth in monetary terms. Try brains, and how you use it for the betterment of others, not you alone.

When I turned 26, I had a Post Bank a/c where everything was jotted down manually This rat race is not a joke. At 40, you may be asking the same same question like I used to. What I decided is to not live other peoples lives. Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.” ― Rashi
