Don't live on credit facilities continuously⸻you will suffer for the rest of your life
Dear Son, Don’t Spend What You Haven’t Earned
Son, let me give you a truth that will save you from years of slavery: Debt is the fastest way to live rich for a moment and die broke for a lifetime.
The world will tempt you to borrow for a lifestyle you can’t afford. But every dollar you spend without earning is not just money—it’s chains.
Let’s break it down.
1. Debt Buys You Comfort Today and Chains Tomorrow
That new car, that apartment, that trip? They look good in photos. But the payments will follow you long after the applause fades.
Debt is nothing but renting pride and paying interest for it.
2. Credit Is the Illusion of Wealth
They’ll hand you a shiny card and call it freedom. But it’s a leash, son.
The bank smiles when you swipe—because they own you now. Never confuse access with ownership.
3. Men Drown Chasing Appearances
Your friends will flex sneakers, clubs, trips, and gadgets. They’ll act rich on Friday and cry broke on Monday.
Don’t compete. Most of them are leasing an image while mortgaging their future.
4. The Woman Who Loves Your Debt Will Leave You in It
Son, a woman who pushes you to spend what you don’t have won’t stay to help you pay it back.
She’ll dance in your “yes” and disappear in your struggle. The right woman respects discipline more than indulgence.
5. Every Loan Has Hidden Chains
The bank doesn’t just want their money back. They want your peace. They want your future hours of labor.
By the time you’re free, you’ll realize you worked more for them than for your own legacy.
6. Save First, Then Spend
Don’t buy what you can’t pay for twice. Stack before you swipe. Save before you spend.
That discipline will make you freer than the flashiest man in the room.
7. Real Men Own—They Don’t Owe
Son, true freedom is not how much you make—it’s how little you owe. When you owe no man, you can walk in peace.
When you own your life, you don’t have to beg for one.
Final Word
Don’t spend what you haven’t earned. Every dollar you waste is a chain. Every debt you sign is a prison.
Be patient. Build slow. Own everything.
Because the man who owns—even little—is richer than the man who owes, no matter how much he has.
