On Thursday, 7th November 2024, we sat down with Safaricom Plc’s management to analyze their half year results but more importantly to soak in the wisdom of leaders such as Dr. Peter Ndegwa C.B.S on how to manage money…
Safaricom PLC Half Year Results
1️⃣ Plan ahead:
Always save for a rainy day. It is never about how much you have now, but how prepared you are for emergencies and opportunities as well. If you have any upcoming expenses like your kids’ school fees, also plan ahead.
2️⃣ Go for liquidity first:
Land and plots are good but you need to make sure you are liquid enough first. Because you never know just when you may need the money. Don’t assume land will always accumulate.
3️⃣ Check your risk appetite before making any investments:
Make sure your objectives are aligned with the option you go with.
Bonus tip:
Life is tough for everyone. How you use your money matters now more than ever. If you look after your money, it will look after you.
