Nollywood actress and producer, Dayo Amusa has shared an insightful message with parents on how to plan their lives till old age including their children’s.
On Instagram, Amusa wrote about the repeated mistakes of parents that later boomerang, such mistakes according to the actress, included not having a plan for their lives.
According to Dayo, most parents use all their life savings to raise their children without putting themselves, their old age into consideration.
She then urged parents to upgrade themselves as their children are being upgraded, make sure to have their children around them and have a strategic plan for the future.
In an extensive Instagram post, Dayo wrote,
“Dear Parent!!!
One mistake you should never make as a parent is raising your kids with all your life savings to eventually get so much exposure that they won’t want to stoop low to living around you.
Upgrade yourself as you upgrade your kids. Plan your future so you won’t have your kids too far from you..
Lately, Having all your kids abroad looks like an achievement until your old age sets in. That is when you will know that sending you money is not as important as having them around you… That’s when you will understand that life’s fulfillment is beyond money but quality of time spent with your grown up children and grand children…
I’ve had an Uncle who raised all his families abroad, died at 78 and none of his kids came home to bury him and give him the last respect / honour.
Men! This is not a matter of marrying many wives … It’s about being intentional with your old age plans… And if marrying more than one wife is your strategic plan, ensure you execute it with wisdom.
Parents seems to cater so much for their kids that they forget ourselves in the process…
Do not forget yourself in the mathematical equation of life…
