Picture this.
You’re at a wedding, the DJ is on fire, the small chops are elite, and your cousin slides in beside you and whispers, “Omo, I just made 1M this weekend!”
Your eyes light up like NEPA just brought light. “How?!” you ask.
He grins, “Side hustle things. I’m cashing out, bro!”
Now pause. That’s making money. But here’s the plot twist: two months later, the same cousin is back at your door asking for “urgent 2k.” Why? Because he spent it all, and his money never grew.
Let discuss the difference between making money and growing money.
Making Money: The Hustler’s High
Making money is exciting, it’s about earning. Your salary, that freelance gig, your side hustle, or your weekend “any work wey show”. It’s active, loud, and flashy.
- You trade time, skill, or energy for cash.
- You feel productive because you can see money entering your account.
- But the moment you stop working, the money stops flowing.
It’s like constantly fetching water with a bucket, it works, but it’s exhausting.
Growing Money: The Silent Flex
Growing money is not as glamorous in the moment. It’s about making your money work harder than you do.
- You invest instead of just spending.
- Your cash earns returns even while you’re asleep.
- Over time, your wealth snowballs slowly at first, then all at once.
This is where MyInvestar steps in. Imagine pouring water into a tank instead of a bucket, now you have storage, pressure, and flow on demand. That’s growing money.
