[fowrds]

life is all about kujipanga and avoiding taking crazy risks. anyone can live on what they have its all about planning and living within your limits. if you earn less spend less and remeber to save up alittle.. be realistic dont live above your limits and it will surprise you how life can turn around wheather you are in the gheto or uptown!!

@Gutsyndicate It how millions of other young Americans his age live, dufus. When I was 22, I was living at home, working part time and going to school. Grew up middle class just like him in America. That has become part of the middle-class lifestyle in this country also.

Turn the fucking music off in the background you cant hear shit. Africans are always trying to copy American culture and technology but cant use it properly.

Good! it's nice to see a young man who thinks big despite all the odds against him in a city like Nairobi and stay positive still. Next time though, kill the volume so we can hear!

[Gutsyndicate]
