Timi was only 22, but every month felt like a race against his wallet.
The moment money entered his account, it disappeared.
New shoes.
Late-night food deliveries.
Subscriptions he barely used.
Trying to “keep up” with friends online.
Yet, at the end of every month, Timi always asked the same question:
“Where did all my money go?”
One evening, his grandfather watched him complain and handed him a small bucket with tiny holes underneath.
“Fill it with water,” Grandpa said.
Timi poured water into it, but the bucket never stayed full.
“It’s impossible,” Timi sighed.
Grandpa smiled.
“That’s how many young people handle money today. Money comes in, but small habits, pressure to impress others, lack of planning, and chasing quick happiness create holes in their financial bucket.”
Timi sat quietly.
For the first time, he realized the problem was not how little he earned…
It was how little he understood money.
And that changed everything.
Your wallet isn’t the enemy, your habits might be. Will you seal the holes or keep running out of money?
