Hello Hive,
You all are welcome to my blog, let's see together what we need to do with our finances....
The contest for this week is about finances.
"What's the best financial decision you've ever made"?.
"Whether it was saving money, investing, learning a new skill, starting a business or avoiding a costly mistakes, share your story and the lesson you learned"
We move around every day in search of financial fulfillments. Everything everyone is going up and down for, is in search of money, therefore, money is very important and it's part of our lives and living, unfortunately, it has been very scarce, very limited and sometimes unreachable.
We need to, for some reasons own some amount of money for ourselves both for the present purposes and for our future's quality life.

The financial decision I have made that's giving me joy and some relief is the decision I took some years back to buy some units of shares in two different prominent banks then, for myself and for every member of my family, even for my hubby, of which we all are still receiving the dividends till today.
That investment decision was done without my having any proper understanding of what they were going to turn out into in the future at that moment, but I did it after all, for all of us in my family and ever since then, we have been enjoying some dividends, although not too much but we all in my family have always looked forward at a particular time of the year to receive our dividends one by one, and it has been consistently coming in without falling, I'm so excited I took that decision even when I didn't know where it would land me and my family members into, all of us are involved.
I remember clearly how it all started. On a certain day so many years back, we went for a church seminar which a Christian stock broker was coming to teach us on the importance of buying shares or becoming a shareholder in some viable companies. We went, and I sat down, being actually my first time to learn the indepth about shares and becoming one of them.
After his long time teaching, he mentioned some reliable companies and their shares per unit, I chose to invest just a small amount of money into the two leading banks in Nigeria then and they're still leading others till today. Myself and some others decided to give it a try, he now connected us with stock brokers who were monitoring and giving me reports about the activities, after we had signed some documents.
After some months, they began paying us some dividends and ever since, no stress, every year, I and my family members are receiving it sometimes lower pay, some other times higher pay, but it has been very consistent.
That was how I learned and began investing into shares and have kept on buy shares in some quality companies till date. Even this year alone, I have been able to buy shares from some more reliable companies and I have come to love doing it.
This is my take for this contest,
