Diary of how i wanted to start saving: [24/4/2026]

Yesterday, I made up my mind to open a separate account for big projects and unforeseen circumstances.

Because life… you just have to. You don’t know what is coming, even as we pray for the best.

I even promised myself that no matter what happens, I will not touch that money.

So yesterday, I started with ₦200. I was so happy, because I already told myself that no matter how it is, I must put something there every day.

Now this morning, I checked my main account balance… and I had ₦300. And I needed to eat too.

I said okay, let me go and buy akara and yam.

I asked the woman how much she was selling, and she said, “₦100 each.”

I calculated it in my head and I just knew… ₦300 will not really satisfy me this morning.

So, I quietly transferred the ₦200 I saved yesterday back into my main account. Now my total balance was ₦500.

I now told the woman, “Oya, give me ₦500 yam and akara.”

She said okay and served it very well.

As I was eating, one thought just dey my head…

Shey na the same account wey I open yesterday for unforeseen circumstances I withdraw from this morning?

Does it mean I have started seeing the unforeseen?!

Nawa oh! 😣😣
