Happy New Month 🌞

What’s the one money regret that still haunts you?

This September, Zikoko is trying something new: every month, we’ll explore a few stories around a theme. For September, that theme is Regret.

We all have those sobering “had I known” moments: opportunities we ignored, decisions we rushed, or actions we didn’t take that later came back to bite. These events shape our bottom lines, and we want to talk about them.

Here's the plan:

i: Every day this month, Zdaily will feature a regret-themed story.

ii: Every week, this newsletter will spotlight one money regret story in full.

iii: You can also expect a new ‘Had I know’ story every day on Zikoko’s Instagram.

iii: And we want you in on it. Got a regret story? Share it with us. Your submission will stay anonymous unless you permit us to use your name.

Let’s get into the stories. 👇🏾

The #NairaLife of a Law Student Who Works Multiple Jobs She Doesn’t Need

The 20-year-old law student in this #NairaLife consistently turns her creative skills into a steady income. She has had at least one job in social media management, content creation, and video editing since 2023. But she’s not necessarily working for money.

According to her, she’s just “building the life she wants”.
