I was chatting with my Mom yesterday and she told me that my Aunt will be retiring next week

I was like....Oh! That's cool yeah? What are her plans for after retirement?

My Mom goes...she doesn't know

Ah ah🤷‍♀️ How come?🤨 She knew this was coming

⬇️👇
"Of course she does" Mom says. She has been working for Lagos state government for about 30+ years. Her job was pretty much "steady"

Does she not have money saved or invested in preparation for retirement?...I ask
Mom: She said she has 1 million Naira in her corporative account

Ha! Egbami😱🙆‍♀️ What has she been doing all along, not getting ready?

When will her gratuity be paid?

Pension nko? We know how these things go...na Naija we dey so
The worst part is that she has no choice but to move to her own house which is built in a somewhat remote area. Mind you, she's yet to complete this building...just some finishing touches here and there. This means; good bye 1 million Naira!
What will she be occupied with when she moves to her house?

A place with no family and friends? Hello depression!

I truly feel for her

Moral of the story: You are not too young to start preparing for retirement
You don't have to experience something before you learn

There is so much bliss in avoiding potholes that others have fallen in

You're thinking to yourself..."Retirement is still far na Dr K"

Okay ooo...my Aunt probably said the same

Be wise!
