If your family was well off in the 1980’s, 1990’s, 2000’s and even 2010’s but today your family is struggling,
Please tell us what happened, what changed, where did things go wrong? What can we learn?

Well,

Ours went from RICH to BROKE and now WEALTHY.


The only lessons you can use to GET OUT OF or NEVER GET INTO ANY SITUATION OF LACK/NEED are:

1) INVEST IN QUALITY RELATIONSHIPS



2) REMAIN TEACHABLE FOREVER



these two will help you NEVER TO FALL and if you ever do, YOU WILL BOUNCE BACK UP IN NO TIME.

Shit happens in life

Life happens, it can happen to anyone.

Lol
How do you expect them to tell you how their family went from grace to grass? Bro life happens and that's all you need to know.

I won't say rich per say maybe middle class,dad own two cars, multiple shops, didn't go to school but trained his brothers.

Business stopped prospering,his last shop got demolished.

Hmmm, grace to grass!

Question for people to learn from

Hmm

Ask the Abiolas

Lack of foresight. Thank God for grace.

Eweeee

Tinubu but God am

What a good topic, which I stand to learn from people.

Why these questions?

Destiny happens!

Whatever happens is destiny!

My family rich? 😐😒

Food cost, I guess.. 🤷

I can really relate to this

Ask the Abiolas

You think they are poor?

Wake up!

They may not be as wealthy as their father, but being poor now should ot be possible

Lol... Economy. Poor decisions. Poor investments. Some people's businesses are not sustainable and they didn't evolve.

Someone people made one hit money and couldn't utilize it. Scams/fraud/419 was rife in those days and some people thrived on it. Now people are wiser and hardly fall for the same scam.

And so on.

Too much family load and lack of foresight (lack of investing in asset, establish business).

Rich Dad Poor Dad Scenario

A lot of Nigerians/Africans are spendthrifts who lack long-term investment mentality. So when the economy tanked and the middle class disappeared, only the generationally wealthy survived.

Tinubu and APC government turned them broke
