I believe in creating multiple streams of income, but not in doing multiple jobs that burn you out

I was going through a document and I saw in the cashflow section a line for "money sent back home".

And it occurred to me that organizations in Canada recognize that sending money back home is standard for us immigrants.

That is the beautiful thing about us, Africans. Strength in Community.

It is good to support family and friends, as long as you are not disregarding you own obligations and needs.

My recommendation:

1. Have a line item in your budget for whatever you are giving and stick to it.

2. Recognize that you can't help everyone, and focus on the number of people you can really make an impact on with your giving.

3. Focus on helping people you support build sustainable means of income, so they don't rely on you indefinitely.

As an African living abroad, how do you approach supporting family back home. Add to the list in the comments.

Truth or Myth?

"Why worry about it, I feel fine"

When you are young and healthy, life insurance can seem like something for an older version of you.

But life doesn't always follow the plan we make for it.

You may be planning to wait until you are older, married, have children, or buy a home. What if your health circumstances change before then?

That could make it harder to qualify for insurance and fewer options to chose from.

If you are young and healthy, you should consider getting life insurance today, not some day.
