You’re next.</p><p><br/></p><p>If it’s from a man—run.</p><p>You’re not building a family.</p><p>You’re a softer sugar daddy replacement.</p><p><br/></p><p>And if she says “I just manage well”?</p><p>Audit her again.</p><p>Because someone somewhere is managing it for her. </p><p><br/></p><p>2. A Woman With No Financial Accountability Has No Consequences</p><p><br/></p><p>She spends her income at once “just once.”</p><p>She’s always “treating herself” after a bad day. She has debts—but “they’re small.”</p><p><br/></p><p>She has subscriptions she forgot about,</p><p>clothes she never wore, unnecessary gym registrations she couldn't even commit to,</p><p>and goals she never met.</p><p><br/></p><p>But she’s looking for a husband to “build with.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Let me tell you the truth:</p><p>If she can’t manage her ATM, she can’t manage a home. And if she doesn’t fear debts? She won’t fear the cost of breaking your peace.</p><p><br/></p><p>3. Her Financial Habits Predict Her Relationship Habits. Here’s the cheat code:</p><p>Overspending? Emotional chaos.</p><p>No savings? No long-term thinking.</p><p>No budget? No boundaries.</p><p><br/></p><p>Always borrowing? Always blaming. Money magically appears? She’s someone’s “side investment.”</p><p>It’s the same spirit that makes her say:</p><p>“I didn’t know I was pregnant.” </p><p>“He changed after marriage.” </p><p>“I thought I could fix him.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Lack of foresight. </p><p>Lack of accountability. </p><p>Lack of truth.</p><p>You don’t need a prophet. You need a spreadsheet.</p><p><br/></p><p>4. “I Deserve It” Is Her Favorite Justification for Everything</p><p>She doesn’t know what sacrifice feels like. She’s never had to choose between rent and lipstick. She wants luxury—but hates labor.</p><p>She says she wants a partner…But what she’s really looking for is a sponsor.</p><p>And if she’s already used to a certain lifestyle? She’s not adjusting it for love.</p><p>She’s upgrading the host.</p><p><br/></p><p>5. You Can Fake Love—But Not Financials</p><p>You can filter your face.</p><p>You can caption your trauma.</p><p>You can write whole novels on how “it wasn’t your fault.”</p><p><br/></p><p>But numbers?</p><p>They don’t play along. How much does she spend?</p><p>Who pays for what?</p><p>What debt does she carry?</p><p>Does she invest—or consume?</p><p><br/></p><p>This isn’t about being materialistic.</p><p>This is about being mathematically safe.</p><p><br/></p><p>Before you give her your name,</p><p>Before you add her to your legacy</p><p>Before the Altar—Call the Auditor</p><p>Her figure might make sense.</p><p>Her body might tempt you.</p><p>Her words might soothe you.</p><p><br/></p><p>But the numbers will expose her.</p><p>– They’ll show you the lies.</p><p>– The dependencies.</p><p>– The red flags she calls “just vibes.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Because everything you need to know about a woman…Is hiding in how she spends.</p><p><br/></p><p>So next time you meet “The one”? Don’t fall for her story. Abeg Country don hard pass to dey marry liability 🙏</p><p>Follow her receipts.</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
