We share a story on the 17th of every month. This month, we interviewed Jeffrey, a Gen Z who is already creating wealth for himself! He shares how he&#8217;s been able to save a lot in just six months of using Cowrywise and how his current biggest money mistake is not opening his Cowrywise account sooner. This is one go-getter and his thought process will inspire you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hi hi! What is your name and where do you school?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi, my name is&nbsp; Negbenosa Jeffrey Tobi, a student of Unilag, studying Creative Arts. I work at Ni Fries as the logistics point man. On the side, I host events, create music covers, get paid to dance and work as a part-time hairstylist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How did you find out about Cowrywise and how long have you been using the app?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I found about this platform through Feranmi Ajetomobi, who works at Cowrywise. It\u2019s been 6 months now. I remember asking him if he could help me save a thousand naira daily and give me back after 6 months. Instead, he told me about Cowrywise and ever since I&#8217;ve been able to <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/financial-planning-chidinma-okoli\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">handle my finances better<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Have you ever referred someone to use the app? If yes, did you use your referral code to get your coins?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, I have. A friend of mine saw the app icon on my phone while I was trying to add more funds and asked about it. After I explained, he downloaded and created a plan. As at that time I didn&#8217;t know there was a specific gain on each referral, so I didn&#8217;t gain anything. I need to earn those wads! Lol<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What money habit has Cowrywise helped you to incorporate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Delayed gratification. Cowrywise really helped me over the last 6 months. The fact that I can\u2019t withdraw my money until the maturity date is what I really love about the platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also love the ability to set targets. That kept me enthusiastic about meeting my goal before the 6th month.&nbsp;<\/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-459240 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\/personal_savings_goal\/\">Money Chronicles: How I Achieved My Personal Savings Goal<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2021-04-17T10:32:43+01:00\">April 17, 2021<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/personal_savings_goal\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/testimonial-card-Juwonlo-updated-1.png);\"><\/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\"><strong>You\u2019ve saved more than half a million in like 6 months as a Gen Z. \u201cWhere una dey see this money?\u201d ? For real though, please share how you\u2019ve been able to achieve this.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly I made up my mind to save over 60 percent of my monthly income and I also have multiple income streams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I work at Ni Fries logistics arm. On the side, I attend and perform at shows that bring me good cash. Also, I learnt hairstyling from my mum. So, I take on hair jobs at school. I save 100% of the cash flow from my alternative income sources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fun fact, I wanted to get a phone after I saved for 6 months and surpassed my goal, but I ended up rolling over on the maturity date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So good.?? Talk about someone serious about compound interests! What did you sacrifice to be able to do this?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:6740556170387345409\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stopped unnecessary purchases<\/a>, which helped me save more. I plan to do even better this year. By the way, I stay with my parents so it\u2019s easier for me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can other young people get internships or job opportunities like you?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to get a job is to be bold and make a proposal. The worst answer you can receive is a no.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember the day I got my job at Ni Fries. All I did was walk to the owner and told him I could handle certain things in the company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be bold and don&#8217;t just say you need a job, let them know how effective you will be or how well you will manage the position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You\u2019re relatively young and already imbibing wealth creation habits! ?? Did any significant life occurrence cause this or you\u2019ve just learned from other people\u2019s stories\/experiences?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes&#8230; It might not sound like a super significant life occurrence but I needed a phone with a good camera quality to promote my art, and the best way to do that was to save up.&nbsp;<\/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=\"222\" src=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Money-management-breakers-01-1024x222.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Money-management-breakers-01-1024x222.png 1024w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Money-management-breakers-01-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Money-management-breakers-01-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Money-management-breakers-01-1536x333.png 1536w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Money-management-breakers-01-2048x444.png 2048w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Money-management-breakers-01-360x78.png 360w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Money-management-breakers-01-150x33.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s one topic you can talk about the whole day without getting bored?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making more money.

Lol. Anyway, my biggest money mistake in my life was delaying the opening of my <a href=\"http:\/\/cwry.se\/blog_signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cowrywise account<\/a>. I wasted a lot before Cowrywise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s an important money lesson you want to share with others who are Gen Z?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Save whatever you have, it will help in the coming days. Investing in one&#8217;s self and diversifying income is also an important step, it helps in meeting financial goals faster and protects you from the loss of a job. Make sure you learn a skill and grow career-wise&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Any lessons you want to share with the millennials too? ?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The old ones? Lol. They seem to take on debts a lot. I might not understand because I am younger, but learn to take on good debts and <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/take-control-your-debts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">manage them properly<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you currently spend most of your money on?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking good! It helps me to make more money; people love a good looking event host. ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If funds were unlimited, what will you purchase right now and why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Loads and loads of sneakers cause I love them. ?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Have you already started experiencing black tax as a Gen Z? (Having to fend for family members as a black person&#8230;)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes I have. It\u2019s really stressful I must say. But I am great at saying no when need be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you have any suggestions for Cowrywise?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kindly help increase the interest rate on savings. ?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that\u2019s beyond your control though. So, invest more in teaching people about how money works.
