I feel sad for this great African artist but when it comes to money matters, one ought to adjust when the well goes low or dries up. His next month's rent is 44,000/= and he still doesn't know how he will settle it, after being saved from the auctioneer's hammer recently. Those who are close to him should tell him to move to Kinoo, Kikuyu, or Zambezi where rents are in the range of 15-25K. Alternatively from the single sale of his artwork he can buy a plot in Ruai/Kamulu kaa uzeeni. Being threatened by auctioneers regarding the roof you sleep under is very stressful. Story ndio hii

Brings us back to the debate on whether it's wise to build your house or take the option of investing while renting

@Coolbull, it's interesting that you've brought this story up. I wonder whether you're an artist?

Having been in business, a place to call home that is loan free should come first. Business can be tricky sometimes!

Should an artist have a home, should he/she expect mercy from accountants? I'm trying to find time to understand Katarikawe, and I'm so confused at the moment...

When a man in his late years cannot be rent, its not funny. Wishing him well as he sorts out the setback "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe
