What Does Your Empty Wallet Say About You?

 Your wallet is talking. Loudly!! And guess what? It has a lot to say. An empty wallet isn't just a financial statement-it's a whole personality trait.

Let's break it down: 

1. The "My Money is in Investments" Type 

You swear you're not broke--your money is just "tied up." Maybe it's in stocks, crypto, a chama, or "waiting to mature." Meanwhile, you are surviving on instant noodles, convincing yourself it's a temporary sacrifice for future wealth.

Wallet Diagnosis: Future millionaire, current struggler.

2. The "Payday is Around The Corner" Believer

Your wallet is emptier than a ghost town, but your confidence is at an all-time high. Bills? No problem. Debts? Minor inconvenience. You're already making plans for a "lit weekend" because, hey, payday is coming! (Even if your bills are too)

Wallet Diagnosis: Delusion with a sprinkle of hope.

3. The "Generous Giver"

Your wallet is empty but your heart is full. You paid your friend's lunch, loaned money to someone who swore "I'll send it back today," and you tip boda guys like you own an oil well. Now you're left with good karma, but no cash.

Wallet Diagnosis: Saintly. Also, financially endangered.

4. The "it's The Economy" Comrade

Your wallet isn't empty because of you--it's the economy!! Fuel prices? Too high. Rent? Unreasonable. Your salary? Disrespectfully low. The cost of living? A conspiracy. And the system is just not built for you to thrive. You are convinced your money problems are a political issue and you are just a victim of a failing system, and your wallet is one of many casualties.

Wallet Diagnosis: Woke, but broke.

5. The "Soft Life Enthusiast"

You believe in experiences over possessions; "money is meant to be enjoyed." Your money went to brunches, vacations, and that fancy perfume that makes you smell like Dubai even though your bank account screams "local struggles." You don't need a full wallet when you have vibes and Inshaallah.

Wallet Diagnosis: Living the dream..... until reality knocks.

6. The "I Need a Sponsor" Candidate

Your wallet is empty, but your faith is strong. You've started hinting at your close friends about how life is tough. Maybe someone will send you an M-pesa as a surprise or maybe that distant ex will randomly "check on you" and cash-app you "just because". A little financial miracle wouldn't hurt.

Wallet Diagnosis: Manifesting money, but struggling.

7. The "Side Hustle Machine"

Your wallet is empty today, but not for long! You have five different hustles running at once--one of them must pay off soon. You're selling clothes online, offering digital marketing, and probably considering how to start a YouTube channel right now.

Wallet Diagnosis: Hustler's spirit, but exhaustion is near.


At the end of the day, an empty wallet isn't the end of the world-it's just a chapter in your financial journey. Sometimes it's a phase. Sometimes, it's a lifestyle.
Whether you are broke because of bad money management, generosity, or just the economy, we've all been there. Either way, we move!

So tell me--what does your empty wallet say about you?
Let's laugh about it in the comments!

    That empty wallet gives me fulfilment when I know all the cash has been put to good use.

The Illusion of Intelligence: Why Professionals Focus On Looking Smart Instead of Being Smart

The Corporate Façade Walk into any corporate office, and you'll notice a pattern - sharp suits, confident posture, carefully crafted PowerPoint presentations, and a whole lot of corporate jargon. Professionals in many companies are obsessed with looking intelligent, but when it comes to real decision-making, problem-solving, and innovation, many fall flat. This obsession with performing intelligence rather than applying intelligence is slowing down progress. Instead of hiring and promoting those with real knowledge and critical thinking skills, organizations often reward those who can simply sell the illusion of competence. To some degree it starts to complicate things, in that there are various factors at play and many of the actors in the system believe in a beautiful vision instead of value in outcome. So why is this happening, and how can businesses shift towards prioritizing actual intelligence over corporate theatrics? The Performance Over Competence Trap Keyword Focus: Corpo...

PRINCESS TREATMENT: THE DIVIDE AMONG WOMEN AND HOW MEN PLAY A ROLE

There's this thing about our female gender that doesn't sit well with me and I quite honestly don't understand. Why is it that whenever a woman is achieving a lot you find a cluster that feels she doesn't deserve it. Instead of being happy for her they start tearing her down as if it's an injustice done to them. It starts in their mind, which is usually visible especially with the condescending looks and sneers and when a fellow hater sees it, they somehow link up and then become friends. So uncanny I must say! Maybe it's the common interest; you know the how misery just loves company vibe. Anyway, most times especially in work places, you'll find a certain group of humans including men (shocker!!) discussing a babe and popular statements will be: Who does she think she is? Si urembo ni make-up. Hiyo pesa ni ya wazazi/ chali yake e.t.c Plus if you have ever been a victim of such unnecessary criticism, you'll always notice them looking at you with Hyena ...

A Surprise Visit That Left Me Speechless

 Sometimes, the most unexpected moments leave the deepest impact. This past weekend, I joined a surprise visit to a local church where some of the organization's beneficiaries worship. I had no idea what to expect -- but what I experienced will stay with me forever. Stepping Into Pure Joy As I walked into the church, the sound of joyful singing and rhythmic clapping filled the air. The energy was overwhelmingly beautiful -- people dancing, smiling, and lifting their hands in praise. It was a moment of pure gratitude, untouched by material worries or life's struggles. I looked around and saw familiar faces -- some of the organization's beneficiaries, people we've walked alongside in difficult times. Yet, here they were, not dwelling on what they lacked but celebrating what they had. Their faith and resilience humbled me. A Lesson I Didn't Expect As I stood there, taking it all in, a thought hit me hard: We are not called just to be good, but to be Godly. It is easy t...
