​​I was shopping for a new Note Pad in a local Mall when i came across an Old Buddy of mines from an international marketing company. The conversation went something like this : Me: "Hey Charles, Whats up bro? Hows that marketing company going ?" Charles: "Ahh Not too well i jump ship long time man, Things got boring , But everything else is pretty good. Ive managed to take the money made with them and invest it in this new venture i'm in." Me: "Orr That sounds good man. Every time i see you , you always have money man. Mannn Give me the secret to that wealthy life style." Charles: "Ha - Say Wealthy, I guess you can say that. But there is no real secret. You know its not how much Money you make its how much you keep."

​​ Me: "Come on Mann Smt, Don't give me that everybody knows that . Bey, Whats the real Secret." Charles: "I telling you bey , Een no secret. Hmmm...... Ok let me put it this wayYou see that bottle of water you have right?" Me: "Yea" (sips water) Charles : "Look at it , what you see?" Me: "I see a bottle with water in it bey......Smt i tryna learn how to make more money and you giving me this science experiment type ish." (Charles takes a knife out of his pocket and stabs the bottle. Water began to drip out)

​​ Me: "What you do that for bey? Now all the water ga leak out, You gat one mop a bey?" Charles : "Exactly, Imagine the water is money." Me : "Orr ya bey i see dat , Thats why i don't trust Banks nah bey. When they hold ya money it is disappear slowly, with all them fees and thing." Charles: "Lion , Govern your self. Think smart mannn.That hole represents your expenses. Now matter how much money you make , your expenses ga take away from it." Me: "Or ya bey..... and the bigger the whole the faster it ga leak on the floor."

Charles : "Bingo!

So the Moral of the story is........... REDUCE YOUR EXPENSES!"

Me: "Thanks bey , i understand now........ But you owe me for this bottle of water doe." Charles: "That's your expense to learn this lesson."
