🎯 1. Your Objective (At This Stage)
As a student with stipend:
👉 Your goal is NOT profit
👉 Your goal is:
Build financial discipline
Learn investing practically
Grow small capital consistently
💡 2. The Correct Allocation System (Very Practical)
From ₦5,000 weekly:
Use this split:
₦3,000 → Needs (food, transport, data)
₦1,000 → Savings
₦1,000 → Investment
👉 This is the simplest sustainable structure.
🏦 3. Step 1: Build a Small Emergency Fund
Before serious investing:
Save until you reach: 👉 ₦20k – ₦50k
Use apps like:
Cowrywise
PiggyVest
👉 This protects you from running back to your investment money.
