Circle of poverty and compensatory behavior activated! -I grew up having basic meals and we would eat twice a day (brunch around 11/12 and supper 6 P.m) -I was this tall fat-less young man -Started working on my own and making my own money -Started eating as many times as possible and eating whatever l wished to eat when l didn’t afford. -From chicken inn to Victoria 22,from Nandos to Khaya Nyama, -I frequented all the fast foods outlets in the country until l started to look like a pig. -This happened until l was overweight, -This is an example of compensatory behavior! -Many people grew up struggling like me and all they want to do is afford the life they didn’t afford before! -I did it with food but some do it with cars,some do it with houses -Like you see someone with a very small family building a very big house like 7 bedrooms. -Instead of building clusters and earn rentals for the next generation -That’s why if you check out in some low density you see some houses which were never finished. -Some even do it with their kids,l worked very hard growing up so my kids,will not have to do anything. My 2 cents! -Let us watch out for compensatory behavior as it will lead to a vicious circle of poverty! -E.g you eat too much and end up with fat related sickness like B.P etc -That way you end up working for medication e.t.c -Some grew up facing rejections from girls their age because they had no skill -Now they have money,they are busy sleeping around with poor girls and they won’t escape the consequences of dying with no legacy -Avoiding raising useless children in the name of providing everything for them. -Train them to be man on their own so that when life happens they will never be broke again! -Yes you grew up walking to school and shit but why do you need 7 cars for ? -Invest beyond this generation and break the circle of poverty!
