Hi guys,
It’s the start of a new week and as usual, some of us will be busy with offline stuff. But we do have to make time for the blockchain(hive in particular). This week we are starting with a rather easy-looking topic but somehow complicated. Why do I say this? We’ve all at one point in a time wanted to be so so independent but after growing up we wish we never grew up.
After growing up we realize we have to change our ways to accommodate others or suit others but not necessarily our lifestyle. I for one think that the “firsts” of everything are always very interesting. They are the best times cause we never going to have that experience anymore, we tend to cherish those moments a lot those moments never seize to leave our memories.
For me, making my own money and spending it the way I want it has always been something that I have looked up to. I’ve been earning something if not a lot from various means and I’ve been using them for different stuff which gives me a lot of pleasure.
I can still remember the first dollar that I made like it was yesterday. I was so excited, the thought of making something small out of my effort gave me this happy feeling which can’t be explained.
My first dollar was made in bet. A lot of the boys will understand where am coming from with this. Your first huge win even though is not much will leave you with a lot of good memories. For me, betting has always been something that has been a partial hustle to me.
When I was in senior high I had no means of making money. I was always broke and as a result, I decided to start betting cause I heard a lot of good things about it. At that time I think almost all my friends were into betting and I sat on the sidelines and saw them place their life away lol. Other times they had the last laugh and it was pretty exciting to see the excitement on their faces.
So one day I decided that I will also start after thinking hard enough. I created an account and without knowing what I was doing I placed my first bet. Before you ask, yes it was illegal to use a mobile phone in my school but we still had phones. When I staked the bet I thought about it the whole time, I couldn’t wait for prep to be over for me to check and see if my slip had given me a win.
After preps, I check and boy was I excited. You wouldn’t know how it felt but I was so excited. I didn’t tell anyone but I felt like I was paid a salary lol. It felt good cause I knew I had no one to take care of and that money was going to be used by me and me only.
Even though I didn’t use that money for a huge thing, I still cherish that moment a lot as it taught me a lot of good lessons. That was where the journey of earning on my own started and I’ve never looked back. Even though I don’t bet anymore I still can’t help but remember that story each time this kind of question pops up.
I used that money to take care of myself for a week. As I said I didn’t buy some hung huge but it was to cover my expenses for a whole week. After that first win, it took me a very long time to be able to win bet again lol.
Thanks for reading.
