What's Yours-Dr. Esther Muchemi Founder and GCEO, Samchi Group

It is actually what you are left with after you have paid all your expenses and liabilities.

This is the mental note I made after a conversation with my mentee (in middle age) who wanted to migrate to Canada to do some odd jobs.

And I told her,
“That’s not for you. Maybe for your children. The quality of life where we are in life is very important,” I continued.

“For example,” I went ahead to explain, “if you get 100k and your expenses are 101k, you are still poor! But if you are in an economy where you get 50k and your expenses are 45k, then you are better off. At least you are left with 5k in your pocket, and that’s your real money.”

Let me tell you, my great people:

I am well-travelled, but east, west, or even south, you can even add north if you want, home is best.

I would prefer as a nation we focus on creating jobs at home instead of focusing too much on outside jobs.

That’s why I strongly believe we need to come up with policies, including paying our local creditors, that will help our local business.
Collecting taxes to pay outside debt accelerates another economy and leaves ours struggling.

Our economy needs a lot of “pushes” to birth jobs, more revenue, and ease the cost of living.

Can we focus more on the inside than the outside?

What’s ours is always better and more valuable than a borrowed “axe.”
