31st JANUARY 2025: THE MONTH THAT REFUSED TO END
Ladies and gentlemen, we have made it!
Today is 31st January 2025, the last day of the month that felt like an entire financial quarter.
January is that one month that tests patience, endurance, and financial planning—especially for those who splurged in December thinking they were millionaires.
The funny thing about January is that it doesn’t follow the universal laws of time. Officially, it has 31 days, but depending on your financial status, it can stretch beyond imagination:
For the financially stable (a rare species in January), it ends in 31 days.
For the salaried employees who last saw a paycheck on 20th December, it mysteriously grows to 42 days.
For parents who had to pay school fees, buy books, uniforms, and deal with "Mum, I need a new bag," January easily extends to 60 days.
For hustlers grinding day and night, January can go up to 95 days, and by the time February arrives, they are convinced it’s a mirage.
THE JANUARY SURVIVAL TACTICS.
To make it through this "bonus-length" month, people have tried everything:
Eating like a prisoner – Chapati once a week, everything else is githeri.
Avoiding phone calls – If your phone rings and it's not a job offer, ignore it. Chances are someone wants money.
Walking like it's cardio – Matatu fare? That’s a luxury. Walking to work is a fitness program now.
Creative excuses – "Let me send you something small" now means Ksh 50.
Now That It’s Over… What Next?
Now that January is officially done, will your financial struggles end?
Will February bring relief?
Not so fast!
February comes with its own troubles—especially Valentine's Day, where the financially unprepared will go missing from the 10th to the 15th, claiming to be "on a work trip."
But we live in hope!
For those waiting for payday, hold on a little longer—February is only 28 days (thank goodness!).
You don’t have to suffer for another 95-day stretch.
So, dear reader, how did you survive January? And more importantly, how do you plan to recover?
Let’s hear your January survival story!
