We share a story on the 17th of every month. This month, the spotlight is on Gloria. She shares why she chose Cowrywise over a thrift contribution (Ajo) and a simple but effective trick to help you say &#8220;no&#8221; to numerous money requests. ? You&#8217;ll find it to be both fun and educative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hi Hi! Please share your name with us<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My name is Gloria Iyokpesomi Onemegba<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When did you start using Cowrywise and what makes you continue to use the app?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mmmh, I started using Cowrywise since like\u2026I think a little over a year now. Initially, I wasn\u2019t so committed. In fact, after my initial deposit, I\u2019m not sure I even topped up again until recently when I decided to be more disciplined. I took that decision when my cousin advised me to join their aj\u00f2 (thrift contribution). I asked her what the benefits are and she explained that it just teaches you to be disciplined with your savings. No interest and there is a possibility of collecting your money in piece-meal after so much dragging, because someone will most likely default. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right there, I realised that Cowrywise was a better option for me. I chose Cowrywise because it helps me save consistently with automated plans, plus I get interests on all my plans. I don\u2019t have to worry about getting my money when it matures; the swift way the money lands in your account when you make withdrawals ehn, feels really good! I hate stress and Cowrywise suits me just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What major financial lessons have you learnt so far?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve learnt some great financial lessons recently, the major one for me will be&#8230; <em>spend from what\u2019s left after saving and not the other way round.<\/em> Because wahala be like bicycle, e nor dey finish ? plus after saving, you can plan with what is left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Any advice for someone trying to get serious with their savings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My advice for anyone that wants to start saving for the first time is, set a target and automate your savings. That\u2019s all the magic you need. Thank me later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is your best Cowrywise feature?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My best feature will be the fact that I can\u2019t move my maturity date earlier than the initial date, I can only extend it after maturity. It feels like with Cowrywise you must be disciplined with your savings. ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Any advice for someone who struggles to say \u201cno\u201d when numerous people want to borrow money?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My advice to people like me who struggle with saying no when people ask is simple, <strong>lock up your savings<\/strong>, you can\u2019t give what you don\u2019t have. It works like magic. So you\u2019ll say no with all sincerity because you actually don\u2019t have. ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cwry.se\/create-plan?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=in_article&amp;utm_campaign=savings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-4-1024x221.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-4-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-4-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-4-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-4-1536x332.png 1536w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-4-2048x442.png 2048w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-4-360x78.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have you ever lent someone money and they did not pay back? What did you do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh yes, a lot of times and they ended in premium tears, till this day I still haven\u2019t been able to collect my money back. In fact, I have let go, it&#8217;s now bad debt. Lessons learnt, never lend out money you know you can\u2019t forgo. Else you go get BP o ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What did you spend on during valentines? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I\u2019ve been born I\u2019ve spent nothing on Valentine&#8217;s day ??? I hope to start soon though ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do you spend most of your money on monthly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What I spend most of my money on&#8230;? I\u2019m actually an impulsive spender so I make sure I don\u2019t carry much cash around and there\u2019s never so much in my operational account. So right now I would say I spend more on airtime and t-fare.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"shortcode-block\">    <div class=\"inhype-postline-block-wrapper\">\n      <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n          <div class=\"inhype-postline-block inhype-postline-block-527416 inhype-block clearfix\">\n            <div class=\"owl-carousel\">\n            \n                  <div class=\"inhype-post\">\n                    <div class=\"inhype-postline-block-content\">\n\n                      <div class=\"inhype-postline-details\">\n                        <div class=\"post-categories\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/testimonials\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Testimonials<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n                        <h3 class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/signup-on-cowrywise\/\">Money Chronicles: I Got My Parents to Signup on Cowrywise to Kickstart their Savings and Investments<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2021-07-17T21:44:31+01:00\">July 17, 2021<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/signup-on-cowrywise\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/testimonial-card-Tolulope-Ogunsanya-1.png);\"><\/div>\n                      <\/a>\n                                          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n            \n                  <div class=\"inhype-post\">\n                    <div class=\"inhype-postline-block-content\">\n\n                      <div class=\"inhype-postline-details\">\n                        <div class=\"post-categories\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/testimonials\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Testimonials<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n                        <h3 class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/how-i-became-disciplined-with-savings-using-cowrywise\/\">Money Chronicles: How I Became Disciplined With Savings Using Cowrywise<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2023-10-18T13:26:19+01:00\">October 18, 2023<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/how-i-became-disciplined-with-savings-using-cowrywise\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Nmabuobi-Oba-1-scaled.webp);\"><\/div>\n                      <\/a>\n                                          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019re with friends talking about personal finance, what will you say to them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I would say, &#8220;the place to start with your personal finance is to plan your savings and plan your expenses.
