    7:04 what I am saying is high schoolers don't date😭💔 university huns and gents work hard and chow course don't let relationships distract you. In Uni continue finding yourself in your 20's. The more you look to God ( Yah) He will bring your spouse. Isaiah 60:22❤Just Love Jesus Christ in your Youth!!!

    1 John 1:15 "Do not love the world or anything of the world. If anyone loves the world, the father is not in them. For everything in the world -the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever "❤

      Our politicians are top of the list. It has filtered to the people on the ground. Knowing your worth can also be in a good way, where men who take advantage of girls sexually. That was what guided me from a young age. Being independent was foremost for me, thank God my mum sat me down and warned me about what is happening in this world. Men with money were just a turn off, because I could just envisage how it was going to turn out. I always say that I respect a prostitute because she is upfront that she in business. But the hypocrites who pretend to be these good girls, but are just after money are the dangerous ones. Hence the Nigerians class South African women as being only after money. They have no shame to be labeled as such. Thank you for bringing up this subject as a young person.

    I hate the fact that materialism has young people forgetting ,that the people we are envious of are in their thirties meaning they were once where we are ,with nothing and were nobodies and they are now reaping the rewards of patience, resilience, hardwork, discipline and self investment.We as we are supposed to be pouring in ourselves,dealing with our childhood traumas, unfortunate backgrounds, learning, exploring and finding our purposes so that we can change the world with our unique talents,we are chasing after illusions.Success that is obtained gradually can be maintained and REAL LIFE is Slow.

    Instant gratification pushes people to extreme lengths to gain whatever their heart so desires.
    A lack of contentment is the worst thing to have in your life, because you will inevitably compromise your morals & values in most cases.
    Also, many young men like myself are literally so depressed because of the unnecessarily high and unrealistic expectations and standards that have been set by some women and men like Andrew Tate - if you don't have a Bugatti Veyron, you're "useless" and you're not a "high value man."
    The red pill space has contributed to young men chasing materialistic items that are completely unrealistic and far from their reach.

      Having nice things can be enjoyable, but they should serve as a reward for our hard work, not the central purpose of our existence.
      Life is about striking a balance: working diligently while also taking the time to enjoy moments with our loved ones.
      Achieving material success should reflect our milestones, demonstrating that we can provide for our family and help them achieve their dreams, like an early retirement for our parents.
      However, allowing the pursuit of wealth to consume you can ultimately lead to your downfall.

    The worst problem with materialism is that it prevents you from really building your life. We can put our own lives on hold for things. Sometimes struggle and simple helps you realise the real worth of things. Person can only sleep in one bed or drive one car at a time anyway...

    Fantastic Video. I teeter somewhere in the middle of this conversation . There’s absolutely nothing wrong with liking nice stuff but you are damn right . Balance is very important. I was once a victim of consumerism constantly buying unnecessary things I didn’t really need that go out of fashion fast too . But recently as I stopped spending so much on such items and started saving more I have been able to invest in several businesses . I really hope most of the girlies see the light soon as the sad thing is most of them do not use the funds to do anything valuable for there lives or the lives of others and in the end of the day in years to come they have nothing tangible to show in terms of achievement in life . Misplaced priorities is rife especially these days in the African continent . I was born and raised in London but now live in a country in west Africa and when I speak to the fellow average young girls here I am amazed at how shallow a majority think . It seems most of them always end up down and out and bitter . Love to you all . X God help our generation.

  • @drillingig2368

    While enjoying nice things can bring joy, they should be a testament to our hard work rather than the primary goal of our lives.
    Striking a balance is essential: we must dedicate ourselves to our careers while cherishing moments with those we love.
    Material achievements should symbolise our progress, showcasing our ability to support our families and help them realise their dreams, like giving our parents the option of an early retirement.
    However, if the pursuit of wealth becomes all-consuming, it can lead to our undoing.
    This is why I embrace materialism. Having risen from humble beginnings, it’s natural for me to appreciate material possessions. By chasing financial freedom, I can ultimately choose to be materialistic or not.
