Tunde Obe's Advice To Those Who Live Above Their Means


Tunde & Wunmi Obe


In light of our 10 part series of leading a debt free marriage, we wish to highlight the advice of Tunde Obe on living within your means as a married person.

In an interview with Encomium magazine, the popular music artist said, “Any artist who owns a car that the quarter of its cost price isn't in their account is a failure”.

This was his response when he was asked to advise artists who pay millions to live in rented apartments.

"When Wunmi and I started, we could have afforded to rent an apartment on the Island considering the kind of money we were making that time; but we were living in Gowon Estate, Ipaja, Lagos, where we paid minimal rent so we can save for our basic needs.

It wasn't a day's journey. Many artistes don't get it right. My advice is that they should not live above their means of income. And those who are doing very well now should invest wisely because no condition is permanent".

What is the lesson here?
